intro: C
 
  F      C     Am              F
Jack and Edie lying across my bed
G       C             F
Flying high like the spirits of the dead
    C              F
The living and the dead
    C              F
The living and the dead
 
 F             C              Am        F
Our Lady of Sorrows and the long dark night
G         C        F
How many candles could I light
          C             F
For the living and the dead
      C             F
The living and the dead
 
 F                        C
What's that black smoke rising Jack
        Am       F
Is the world on fire
G                    C
What's that distant singing
        F
Is it a heavenly choir
    C              F
The living and the dead
    C              F
The living and the dead
 
         C              Am            F
I think about you Jack, watching the tv
G              C
And drinking booze
         F
Shame on you, shame on me
G                C
But how can we help it
          F
There was no where else to go
G                  C                 F
I sent Julie and Billy out on that long hard road
        C         F
on that long hard road
        C         F
on that long hard road
 
F                         C
I'm just back from Mexico city
   F                  C
I came back north to Texas
F
To rest my weary head
                               C
My true love is fresh from the battle field
 
F             C         F
Sewing up the dying and carting off the dead
                            C
My baby don't stand for no fighting
             F              C
Amongst the living and the dead
 
F C Am F G C F C F
 
F                       C
What's that black smoke rising Jack
       Am       F
Is the world on fire
G                   C
What's that distant singing
         F
Is it a heavenly choir
    C              F
The living and the dead (repeat)
    C
 
 
optional: When switching from C to F  and F to C on "living and the dead" take
the first fret off for a beat before switching
