Beneath The Balcony

Em Em Em Em D D D D Em Let's go out and dance, darling, our last of days D And grace the game with a blindfold on D The cheaters came to play Em And outside the soft-handed boys Em Screaming cars and all their speed D Music, math, a hero begging change D His sword across his knees C And how he prays to find a man to blame Em For every sleepless night he spends D And for every well that he warned me of D But wound up falling in C And then for the kids beneath the balcony Em Who disregard the rain D To make sure the king won't grant D The dead man one more day Banjo Interlude Em Em Em Em D D D D Em Em Em Em D D D D C C Em Em D D Em Em C C Em Em D D D D Em Let's go out and see, darling Em What shines tonight D And temper your dream about the dying horse D With traffic, noise, and light Em And somewhere the soft-handed boys Em Bleeding hearts, and worker bees D Give to the holy mother begging change D Christ across her knees C And oh, how she prays to find a man to blame Em For every loveless night she waits D And for every gun that she frowned upon D But still some fucker made C And then for the kid beneath the balcony Em Behind the garbage can D Who waits for the king to come D Em And hold his sweating hand
