VERSE:
D
The smart money's on Harlem
And the moon is in the street
G A7 DThe shadow boys are breaking all the laws
D A7And you're east of East Saint Louis
And the wind is making speeches
G A7And the rain sounds like a round of applause
Napoleon is weeping
DIn the carnival saloon
G A7 DHis invisible fiance's in the mirror
And the band is going home
DIt's raining hammers, it's raining nails
G A7It's true there's nothing left for him down here
CHORUS
And it's time, time, time
G D A7And it's time, time, time
D F#m G EmAnd it's time, time, time, that you love
And it's time, time, time
VERSE 2:
D
And they all pretend they're orphans
DAnd their memory's like a train
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
D A7And the things you can't remember
DTell the things you can't forget
That history puts a saint in every dream
Well she said she'd stick around
DUntil the bandages came off
G A7 DBut these mama's boys just don't know when to quit
And Matilda asks the sailors
DAre those dreams or are those prayers?
G A7So close your eys, son and this won't hurt a bit
CHORUS
VERSE 3:
D
Well things are pretty lousy
DFor a calendar girl
The boys just dive right off the cars and into the street
D A7And when they're on a roll
DShe pulls a razor from her boot
And a thousand pigeons fall around her feet
So put a candle in the window
DAnd a kiss upon his lips
G A7 DAs the dish outside the window fills with rain
Just like a stranger
DWith the weeds in your heart
G A7And pay the fiddler off 'till I come back again
CHORUS x2
