Primeiro acorde: D 4 acordes identificados
When played with my recording of this song it needs to have a capo on the second fret.
D
They're selling postcards of the hanging.
They're painting the passports brown.
The beauty parlour's filled with sailors.
G D
The circus is in town.
D
Here comes the blind commissioner.
They've got him in a trance.
One hand's tied to the tightrope walker.
G D
The other is in his pants.
And the riot squad they're restless
They need some where to go.
As lady and I look out tonight
G D
On Desolation Row.
D
Cinderella she seem so easy.
It takes on to know one she smiles.
Then puts her hand in her back pocket,
G D
Betty Davis style.
D
Then in comes Romeo he's moaning.
You Belong to me I believe.
And someone says your in the wrong place my friend
G D
You better leave.
And the only sound that's left
After the ambulances go.
Is Cinderella sweeping up
G D
On Desolation Row.
D
Now the moon is almost hidden
The stars are beginning to hide
The fortune telling lady
G D
Has already taken all her things inside.
D
All except for Cane and Able
And the Hunch Back of Notre Dame
Everyone is making love
G D
Or else expecting rain
And the good Samaritan he's dressing
He's gettin ready for the show.
He's going to the carnival
G D
Tonight on Desolation Row.
D
Now Ophelia she's 'neath the window.
For her I feel so afraid.
On her twenty-second birthday
G D
She already is an old maid.
D
To her death is quite romantic.
She wears an iron vest.
Her profession's her religion,
G D
Her sin is her lifelessness.
And though her eyes are fixed upon
Noah's great rainbow
She spends her time peeking
G D
Into Desolation Row.
D
Einstein disguised as Robin Hood
With his memories in a trunk
Passed this way an hour ago
G D
With his friend a jealous monk.
D
He looked so frightful
As he bummed a cigarette
Then went off sniffing drain pipes
G D
And reciting the alphabet.
No you would not think to look at him
That he was famous long ago
For playing electric violin
G D
On Desolation Row.
D
Doctor filth he keeps his word
Inside a leather cup
But all his sexless patients
G D
Are trying to blow it up.
D
Now his nurse a local looser
She's in charge of the cyanide hole
And she also keeps the cards that read
G D
Have mercy on his soul.
They all play on penny whistles
You can hear them blow
If you lean your head out far enough
G D
From Desolation Row
D
Across the street they've nailed the curtains
They're gettin ready for the feast
The phantom of the opera
G D
A perfect image of a priest
D
They're spoon feedin Casanova
To get him to feel more assured
Then they'll killed him with self confidence
G D
After poisoning him with words
And the phantom shouting to skinning girls
Get outta her don't you know
Casanova is just being punished
G D
For going to Desolation Row.
D
Now at midnight all the agents
And the superhuman crews
Round up everyone
G D
That knows more than they do.
D
Then they bring them to the factory
Where the heart attack machines
Is strapped across their shoulders
G D
And then the kerosene
Is brought down from the castles
By insurance men that go
Check to see that nobody is escaping
G D
To Desolation Row
D
Praise be to Nero's Neptune
The Titanic sails at dawn
And everybody shouting
G D
Which side are you on
D
And Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot
Fighting in the captains tower
While calypso signers laugh at them
G D
And fishermen hold flowers
Between the windows of the sea
Where lovely mermaids flow
And nobody has to think too much
G D
About Desolation Row
D
Yes I received your letter yesterday
About the time the door knob broke.
When you asked me how I was
G D
Was that some kind of joke.
D
All those people that you mention
Yes I know them they're quite lame.
I had to rearrange their faces
G D
And give them all another name.
Right now I can't read too good
Don't send me no more letters no.
Not unless you mail them from
G D
Desolation Row.
