Intro: ,,,
When the iceberg hit,
Oh they must have known,
God moves on the water
Like Casey Jones.
So I walked downtown
On my telephone,
And took a lazy turn
Through the redeye zone.
It was a five-band bill,
A two-dollar show.
I saw the van out in front
From Idaho,
And the girl passed out
In the backseat trash.
There was no way they'd make
Even a half a tank of gas.
They looked sick and stoned
And strangely dressed.
And no one showed
From the local press.
But I watched them walk
Through the bottom land,
And I wished I played
In a rock & roll band.
Break: ,,,
... Hey, hey,
,
It was the fourteenth day in April.
Well they closed it down,
With the sails in rags.
And they swept up the fags
And the local rags.
Threw the plastic cups
In the plastic bags,
And the cooks cleaned the kitchen
With the staggers and the jags.
Break: ,,,
Ruination day,
And the sky was red.
I went back to work,
And back to bed.
And the iceberg broke,
And the Okies fled,
And the Great Emancipator
Took a bullet in the back of the head...
For the 2nd guitar just find a 1930s Epiphone and mess around in G.
