Intro: D,Am,C,G

Bm
When the iceberg hit,
Am
Oh they must have known,
C
God moves on the water
G
Like Casey Jones.

Bm
So I walked downtown
Am
On my telephone,
C
And took a lazy turn
G D
Through the redeye zone.

Bm
It was a five-band bill,
Am
A two-dollar show.
C
I saw the van out in front
G
From Idaho,

Bm
And the girl passed out
Am
In the backseat trash.
C
There was no way they'd make
G D
Even a half a tank of gas.

Bm
They looked sick and stoned
Am
And strangely dressed.
C
And no one showed
G
From the local press.

Bm
But I watched them walk
Am
Through the bottom land,
C
And I wished I played
G C
In a rock & roll band.

Break: D,Am,C,G

D Am C
... Hey, hey,
G D Am C, G
It was the fourteenth day in April.

Bm
Well they closed it down,
Am
With the sails in rags.
C
And they swept up the fags
G
And the local rags.

Bm
Threw the plastic cups
Am
In the plastic bags,
C
And the cooks cleaned the kitchen
G C
With the staggers and the jags.

Break: D,Am,C,G

Bm
Ruination day,
Am
And the sky was red.
C
I went back to work,
G
And back to bed.

Bm
And the iceberg broke,
Am
And the Okies fled,
C
And the Great Emancipator
G D
Took a bullet in the back of the head...


For the 2nd guitar just find a 1930s Epiphone and mess around in G.
