Bruce Springsteen: The Wall
Unreleased, Live November 16 2005 version
G D G D
Cigarettes and a bottle of beer, this poem that I wrote for you
G D G D
This black stone and these hard tears they're all I've got left now of you
Bm D
I remember you in your Marine uniform laughing, laughing at your ship out party
Bm D
I've read Robert McNamara, he says he's sorry
G D G D
Yeah, you and your boots and black t-shirt, oh, Billy you looked so bad
G D G D
Yeah you and your rock and roll band was the best thing this shit town ever had
Bm D
Now the men that put you here eat with their families in rich dining halls
Bm D
And apology and forgiveness got no place here at all, here at the wall
G D G D
I'm sorry that I missed you last year, I couldn't find no one to drive me
G D G D
If your eyes could cut through that black stone, tell me would they recognize me
Bm D
For the living time it must be served, life goes on
Bm D
Cigarettes and a bottle of beer and skin on black stone
| G | G | G | D | G | G | G | D | D |
G D G D
High school pictures and paper flowers, there's ribbons as red as the blood
G D G D
Yeah as the blood you spilled in the Central Highlands mud
Bm D
Now the limousines rush down Pennsylvania Avenue as the rain falls
Bm D
Apology and forgiveness got no place here at all
