Long Shadow Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros Intro: Am C F C G Well I’ll tell you one thing that I know C Am You don’t face your demons down C You got to grab em jack F G And pin em to the ground Am C The Devil may care, and maybe God he won’t Am C G You better make sure you check on the Do’s and the Don’ts C Am Crawl up the Mountain To reach where the Eagles fly C Am Sure you can glimpse from the mountaintop F C Dm Where the soul of the muse might rise. C Am And if you put it all together C Am You won’t have to look around F C Dm You know you cast F Am A Long Shadow On the Ground C F C G Then one day I could tell my tracks C Am By the holes in the soles of my shoes C F And that the day I said G I’m gonna make the news C Am And falling in the garden C Am Of days so long ago C Am Somewhere in the memory F C Dm The sun shines on you boy C Am Playing in the Arroyos Where the American rivers flow C Am From the Appalachians F C Dm Down to the Delta Roads C Am A man can’t think so long His brain could well explode C Am There’s trains running thru the junctions F C Dm A King comes down the road C Am And if you put it all together C Am You won’t have to look around F C Dm You know you cast F Am A Long Shadow On the Ground G Listen to the Country- The Night Jar and the Bell G Listen to the Night Streamliner G Sounding like the wolves of Hell C Am Head for the water- the water of the cleansing spell C Am It was always are destination F C Dm On the express of the Ne’er Do Wells C Am And we rock thru Madison City C Am And we didn’t even know she was there C Am And when we hit the Buffers in Memphis F C Dm And Beale street didn’t have no prayer C Am C Am I hear punks talk of anarchy- I hear hobos on the railroad C Am I hear mutterings on the chain-gangs F C Dm It was those men who built the roads C Am And if you put it all together C Am You didn’t even once relent F C Dm You cast a Long Shadow F G Am And that is your testament F C Dm C Somewhere in my soul, there’s always Rock and Roll
