Rocky World - Daniel Lanois
G Bmin C G
My hands are wrapped in your raven hair
G Bmin C
In the faded picture on the back stair
C Bmin C
We were narrow, we were steady, trembling and ready
C D G
To give it Hell in this rocky world
G Bmin C G
You said do I look like I could be a strong mother
G Bmin C
And raise the good side of a young daughter
C Bmin C
In the hotel Shangri-La let me tell you
C D G
I've been thinking of her in this rocky world
G Bmin C G
Chicago is heavy, but I can't turn around
G Bmin C
I'm smuggling that whiskey, every flesh and pound
C Bmin C
Michigan I worry, and Susie I'm sorry
C D G
That I lost you out there in the rocky world
C Bmin C
Would you build me a building a chapel up there
G Bmin C
At the top of the hill in the still blue air
C Bmin C
Near the weather vane, by the track and train
C D G
I'll be looking for you in the rocky world
G Bmin C G
She's turning twenty and out on the make
G Bmin C
Pounding the blacktop with a habit to shake
C Bmin C
She's looking for a manger in the eyes of a stranger
C D G
Down on the streets of a rocky world
G Bmin C G
Jenny has religion she sings in a church
G Bmin C
She's made a decision to colour her hair
C Bmin C
The Black man cut the sugar cane she watches the rain
C D G
In a building far from the rocky world
C Bmin C
Yeah I'll tell you something I'll never forget
G Bmin C
The sight of you in silhouette
C Bmin C
Outside Sault Ste. Marie you really threw me
C D G
When you pulled me down to your rocky bed
G Bmin C G
In a crowded room I stood there empty
G Bmin C
Looking for salvation and glory be
C Bmin C
When a shot turned my head and I saw you instead
C D G
Walk into my rocky world
Alright, there we go...Anybody else out there have more Lanois tunes to
share?
