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

Cinderella, she seems so easy,
it takes one to know she smiles
E
Bb
An d puts her hands in
her back pockets,
Betty Davis style
E
Bb
An d in comes Romeo, he's moaning,
you belong to me, I believe
E
Bb
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
E
Bb
Is Cinderella sweeping up
F

on Desolation Row
Now the moon is almost hidden

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

Everyone is making love
or else expecting raid

on Desolation Row
Bb
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
Ab
Bb
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
E
with his friend, a jealous monk
Bb
He looked so immaculately frightful
as he bummed a cigarette
E
Bb
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
E
Bb
For playing the electric violin
Eb

Gm
on Desolation Road

Verse 2
Bb
Dr. Phil, he keeps his world
inside of a leather cup
E

But all his sexless patients,
they're trying to blow it up
E

Now his nurse, I'm like a loser,
E
she's in charge of the cyanide hose
Bb
And she also keeps the cards that read,
have mercy on his soul
E
Bb
They all play on penny whistles,
Ebm
you can hear them blow
Bb
If you lean your head out far enough
Eb

Across the street
they've nailed the curtains
A

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
Gb

Casanova's just being punished

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

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