The John Wayne Song

C G/B Am F C G I was just watching from a cold street corner Am F As the lovers walk by, the workers and the beggars C G And there in the door, of a place/bar that I knew Am F On a cigarette break, the wind it blew Am G C G Perfume, nicotine, before my eyes C G Now these days I dont search for no-one Am F I've had my time, I've had my swan-song C G Am But something right there must have played on my needs as I F crossed that road, and I dropped to my knees Am G C G I said, I think you and me-ee, we could be, mighty fine C G But there's a deafening silence, to my position Am F So I got back on my feet I said I'm sorry I'll be leaving C G She said yes, please, get back on your feet Am F And who says mighty fine, its 2013 Am G C G I stuttered, stumbled, said me, John Wayne C G She said well John Wayne, guess I shall give you one thing Am F between them lines and them moves you must be, on to something C G She was softly spoken, she had this dry smile, Am F and we talked as the city moved for a while Am G C G she said maybe I'm ma-ad, but i knock off about three C G Now i had time to burn, I was feeling a little uneasy Am F saw my mothers shadow, pouring the coffee C G but its been so long, i just love to impress Am F and now's not the time for me to undress, Am G C G in front, of someone who might, just like me C G So ten hours later i come steaming round the corner Am F back to the place where i said I'd meeet her C G I had a lilly, I picked near Russel Square Am F booze down my shirt and blood in my hair, Am G C G and she, just sat there stearing at me C G I said where do you wanna go? she said sadly, nowhere Am F you seem like a nice guy but I could smell it on you earlier C G so i gave you, a little time, thought I'd just wait and see Am F and you come back blind drunk with a dead lilly Am G C G never even got to know your name, John Wayne C G C G Am F F Am G G C G So i walked home, a little bruised, a little sore Am F and i heard a little music, from a gap in the door, C G so i popped inside, for a nightcap or two, Am F Am G C how can you blame me after what I've been through?
