_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Pushing through the market square, _ _ [Em] _ so many mothers dying.
_ _ [A] _ _ _
Fews had just come over, _ [C] we had five years left crying.
_ _ [G] _ The news guy wept and told us, _ _ [E] her [Em] was really dying.
_ _ [A] _
Cried so much his face was wet, _ [C] then I knew he was not lying.
I [G] heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies, I saw [Em] boys, toys, electric irons and TVs.
[A]
A brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare.
I [C] had to cram so many things to store, everything in there.
And all [Am] the fat skinny people, _ [C] _ and all the tall [B] short [Am] people, _ _ [C] and all the [Am] nobody [G] people,
_ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ I never thought I'd meet so [Am] many people.
_ [C] _ _ _
Girl [G] _ _ my age went off ahead, _ _ [Em] had some tiny children. _
_ [E] _ [A] If the black had not pulled her off, _ [B] I [C] think she would have killed them.
_ _ [G] A soldier with a broken heart, _ [Em] fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac.
_ _ [A] The cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and [C] a queer threw up as the sight is rather.
_ _ _ [G] I think I saw you in an ice cream parlor, _ [Em] drinking milkshakes cold and long.
_ _ [A] Smiling and waving and looking so fine, [C] don't think you knew you were in the song.
[Am] And it [G] was cold and it rained, so I felt like an actor, [Em] and I thought of Martin.
_ _ Your [A] face, your race, the way that you talk.
I [C] kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk.
We [G] got five years, stop going mad.
[Bm] _ [Em] Five years, _ _ _ [A] what I've got.
Five years, my brain hurts so long.
[C] _ Five years, that's all we've got.
[G] We've got five _ years, what a good ride.
[Em] _ Five years, _ stop going mad.
[A] We've got five years, my brain hurts so long.
[C] _ Five years, _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ what _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ a surprise.
[A] We've got five years, my brain hurts so long.
[C] _ Five years, _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ stop going mad.
[A] We've got five years, my brain hurts so long.
[C] _ Five years, _ _ _ [G] stop going _
_ _ _ _ [C] mad.

years.
