This is it folks, over the top
He was selling post cards from a paper stand
A whiskey bottle in his withered hand
He put his finger on a photo from an old magazine
Saw himself in the shadow of a dream
Running with his head inside a juke-box crown
Told him his feet stank and took him downtown
Called him agitator, spy and thief
Shut him up solitary third degree
Chorus:
[
A]Take
A [
D]long [
E]line
Take a long line x 2
[
E/D] [
E/C#]With [
A]him
He tried to appeal to the king of might
He said I'm just exercisin' my sacred right
The king he said you ain't got no rights
You're a mad, bad traitor get outta my sight
Chorus
Bass rises rather than decending at end:
[
E/F#] [
E/G#]With [
A]him
Break:
[
C]x2 [
G] [
F#] [
A][
Ab]
[
C]x2 [
D] [
C#] [
A][
Ab]
Running with his head inside a juke-box crown
Told him his feet stank and took him downtown
Called him agitator, spy and thief
Shut him up solitary third degree
Well they put him up boy, a world-wide whirlwind
Pulled out his teeth and they told him to grin
He gave them a smile, pulled out a bottle of wine
He said I never existed you been wasting your time
Chorus x 2
[
A]Take
A [
D]long [
E]line
[
E]Take
A [
D]long [
E]line
Take a long, long, long line
With him
