Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Long Shadow Chords

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] Well, I'll tell you one thing that [G] I know You [C] don't face your [Am] demons down
[C] You gotta grapple, [F] Jack, and pin them to [G] the ground
_ [Am] The devil may care, maybe God he won't Better make [F] sure you check on the [G] do's and
the don'ts _ [C] Crawl up [Am] the mountain, the reach where the
eagles fly [C] Sure you can glimpse [Am] from the mountain [F] top
Where the soul of the [Dm] muse might _ rise _ _ _ [C] And if you put it [Am] all together
[C] You won't have to [Am] look around [F] You know [Dm] you _ cast [F] a long shadow _
[Am] on the ground _ _ _ _ _
[C] Then one day I could tell [G] my tracks [C] By the holes in the [Am] soles of my shoes
And that's the day [F] I said I'm gonna make [G] the news
[C] Out ballin' back [Am] in the garden [C] A day so [Am] long ago
_ [C] Somewhere in [Am] the memory [F] The sun shines on you, [Dm] boy
_ _ [C]
Playin' in [Am] the arroyos Where the American rivers flow
[C] From the [Am] Appalachians Down to the [Dm] Delta Rose
_ _ _ _ [C] A man can't think [Am] so long His brain could well [Am] explode
[C] His train's running through the junctions And King Cotton's down [Dm] the road _ _ _ _
_ And [C] if you put it all [Am] together You won't have to look around
You know [Dm] you cast a [F] long shadow [Am] on the ground _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] Listen to the country The nightjar and the bell
Listen to the night stream liner Soundin' like the wolves of hell
[Am] Head for the water The waters of the cleansing spell
[C] It was always our [Am] destination On the express [C] of the Nadu [Dm] Wells
_ [C] Man, we rocked through Madison [Am] City Man, we didn't even know she was there
And when we hit the buffers in [F] Memphis A Beale Street [Dm] didn't have no prayer _ _
_ _ [C] And I hear [Am] punks talkin' anarchy [C] I hear hobos [Am] on the railroads
[C] I hear mutterings [Am] on the chain gangs It was those men [Dm] who built the road _ _ _ _
[C] And if you put it [Am] all together You didn't even once relent
[F] You cast a [Dm] long shadow _ [F] And [G] that is your [Am] testament _ _ _ _
_ _ Somewhere in [Dm] my soul _ _ _ There's [C] always rock and roll
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
