Tonart: A major
Verse 1
A
They're selling postcards
up there hanging,
their paint and their passports brown.
The beauty parlour's filled with sailors,
D
Eb
the circus is in town.
A
Here comes the blind commissioner,
they've put him in a trench.
Eb
A
One hand is tied to the tight rope walker,
Eb
the other is in his pants
A
And the riot squad, they're restless,
they need somewhere to go
Eb
A

As Maid and I look out tonight
from Desolation Row
Eb
G

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh! Desolation!
Cinderella, she seems so easy,
it takes one to know she smiles
Eb
A
An d puts her hands in
her back pockets,
Betty Davis style
Eb
A
An d in comes Romeo, he's moaning,
you belong to me, I believe
Eb
A
And someone says,
you're in the wrong place,
my friend, you'd better leave
And the only time that's left
after the ambulances go
Eb
A
Is Cinderella sweeping up
E

on Desolation Row
Now the moon is almost hidden
Eb

The fortune -telling lady
is taking all her things inside
All except for Cain and Abel
and the hunchback of Notre Dame
Eb

Everyone is making love
or else expecting raid

And the good Samaritan,

he's getting ready for the show

He's going to carnival tonight

G
on Desolation Row
A
Now Ophelia, she's near the window,
for her I feel so afraid
On her 22nd birthday
she already is an old, maid
To her death is quite romantic,
she wears an iron vest
G
A
Her professions, her religion,
her sins, her lifelessness
And though her eyes are fixed
upon Noah's great rainbow
She spends her time peeking
into Desolation Row
Desolation!
Einstein disguised as Robin Hood
with his memories in a trunk
Passed this way an hour ago
Eb
with his friend, a jealous monk
A
He looked so immaculately frightful
as he bummed a cigarette
Eb
A
Then he went off sniffing drainpipes
and reciting the alphabet
Now you would not think to look at him,
but he was famous long ago
Eb
A
For playing the electric violin
D

Verse 2

Dr. Phil, he keeps his world
inside of a leather cup
Eb
A
But all his sexless patients,
they're trying to blow it up
Eb
A
Now his nurse, I'm like a loser,
Eb
she's in charge of the cyanide hose
A
And she also keeps the cards that read,
have mercy on his soul
Eb
A
They all play on penny whistles,
Dm
you can hear them blow
A
If you lean your head out far enough

From Desolation Row
Across the street
they've nailed the curtains

They're getting ready for the feast

The phantom of the opera,
a perfect image of a priest

to get him to feel more assured
Then they'll kill him with
self -confidence
F

Eb
after poisoning him with words
A

Praise be to Nero's Neptune,

fightin' in the Captain's Tower

While Ca lypso singers
and fishermen hold flowers

Between the windows of the sea

where lovely mermaids flow

And no one has to think too much
about Desolation Row

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
I received your letter yesterday,
Adim
G#
Ebdim
that was by the time the dawn broke
A
When you asked how I was doing,
Eb
was that some kind of joke?
A
All these people that you mention,
yes I know them, they're quite lame
A
I had to rearrange their faces
G#
and give them all another name
A
B
Right now I cannot reach it good,
A
Ebdim
don't send me no more letters, no
A
Not unless you mail them
from Desolation GO!
