The Mission

Am Dm Well I went down to the mission Am And I brought everything that I have Dm The last time I saw the rest of me Am Was when I walked down that road feelin' bad Dm Do you remember in the summer Am When I walked to the end of the road Dm And I took my only dollar Am And I paid for the last freak show. C Dm And you walked me back F C And you said that your heart was well Dm What it was like to watch the sunset F C Dm From your room at the Empress hote-e-l Am Dm Am Oooh... Dm Chelsea and Margaret were still at the pulpit Am But they didn't have much more to say Dm The radio blasted the truth, so well-crafted, Am But things rarely work out that way Dm On the steps of the church where the only thing that works Am Is for sale and the price is high Dm We talked of the hope that kept you off of the dope F C Dm Sang the songs that made you cry-y-y Am Dm Am Oooh... C Dm And you walked me back C And you said that your heart was well Dm What it was like to watch the sunset F C Dm From your room at the Empress hote-e-l Am Dm Am Oooh... Dm Well I went down to the mission Am And I brought everything that I have Dm The last time I saw the rest of this Am Was when I walked down that road feelin' bad Dm The sidewalk shone with urine Am And the air was so hot with pain Dm But old friend I, I am heartened F C Dm When I sing those old songs aga-a-ain Am Dm Am Oooh... C Dm And you walked me home C And you said that your heart was well Dm What it was like to watch the sunrise F C Dm From your window at the Empress hotel Am Dm Am Mmm... Dm Well I went down to the mission, Am And I brought everything that I had
