The News About William by Calexico





           The News About William






Am              C                   Am                   
4 in the morning the sidewalk's asleep
Am              C
Dogs on the porch,
C                 G
Spiders on the leaf
G                  Dm                  Am
Shipwrecked by night sailing through days
Am            E               Am
Nobody noticed the slipping away

Am              C                       Am
Connecting the dots with thorns in his side
Am                 C                        G
Boarded up the Windows with pain and with pride
G                   Dm                  Am
The music box broken that once was his soul
Am                  E                   Am
Its sad little song spinning out of control

G                   C                       G                        
Then came the storm that washed the roads out
G                   C                         G
Closed both his eyes and pointed straight south
G               Dm                  Am
Second line drums marched into the sea
Am                  E                 Am
While the clouds overhead cried "mutiny"
Am                  E                 Am
They parted for Cathy and her bitter news
Am                  Dm              Am
As her words fail and the sky grew dim
Am                  E                 Am
Recalled how close to that exit l've been

C             Am   C                   Am
Ours not to reply, ours not to reason why
C                    G
The news about William
F                   C
The lifeline retreats
F               Am
Desire for release
Am
The thorns in his side
