Checkpoint Charlie by Woodbox Gang
Checkpoint Charlie
VERSE 1
A D A F#m
I had a dream I was in New Orleans
E D A
Maybe it was heaven
A D A F#m
All I know I wasn't lonesome anymore
E D A
And the saints were marching in
VERSE 2
Then I met a man chiseled from stone
Shared my table at the square
Maybe it was Jesus, maybe Iggy Pop
We smoked my last cigarette
CHORUS 1
A D A F#m
What does it matter heaven or the latter
E D A
“I'll pay the tab†said the Nazarene
A D A F#m
We can take all you've got good times or not
E D A
With Iggy and Jesus in New Orleans
VERSE 3
It was daybreak way out on the levee
Iggy is playing washtub in three-quarter time
Down by the river I heard some clawhammer banjo
Me and Jesus went fishing
CHORUS 2
What does it matter the Bayou or El Paso
“I'll pay the tab†said the Nazarene
High as a fruit bat in Napa Valley
With Iggy and Jesus in New Orleans
VERSE 4
Was it purgatory, was it Checkpoint Charlie's
I decided I was staying forever
That ol' morning sun maybe it was voodoo
I woke up to the whistling southbound train
