Days Of Pearly Spencer
Ton : BCapo 2English
Couplet
AmA tenement, a dirty street
EmWalked and worn by shoeless feet
AmInside it's long and so complete
CWatched by a shivering Gsun
AmOld eyes in a small child's face
EmWatching as the shadows race
AmThrough walls and cracks and leave no trace
CAnd daylight's brightness Gshuns
Refrain
Dm EmThe days of Pearly AmSpencer
Dm EmThe race is almost Amrun
Dm EmThe days of Pearly AmSpencer
Dm EmThe race is almost Amrun
Couplet
AmNose pressed hard on frosted glass
EmGazing as the swollen mass
On Amconcrete fields where grows no grass
CStumbles blindly Gon
AmIron trees smother the air
EmBut withering they stand and stare
AmThrough eyes that neither know nor care
CWhere the grass is Ggone
Refrain
Dm EmThe days of Pearly AmSpencer
Dm EmThe race is almost Amrun
Couplet
AmPearly where's your milk white skin
EmWhat's that stubble on your chin
AmIt's buried in the rot gut gin
CYou played and lost not Gwon
AmYou played a house that can't be beat
EmNow look your head's bowed in defeat
AmYou walked too far along the street
CWhere only rats can Grun
Refrain
Dm EmThe days of Pearly AmSpencer
Dm EmThe race is almost Amrun
Dm EmThe days of Pearly AmSpencer
Dm EmThe race is almost Amrun
Dm EmThe race is almost Amrun
Couplet
AmA tenement, a dirty street
EmRemember worn and shoeless feet
AmRemember how you stood to beat
CThe way your life had Ggone
AmSo Pearly don't you shed more tears
EmFor those best forgotten years
AmThose tenements are memories
COf where you've risen Gfrom
Refrain
DmThe days of Pearly CSpencer
DmThe race is Calmost Dmrun.
