Verse 1
Em
D
C
The ragamuffin gunner
D
Bm
is returnin' home
D
G
Bm
Like a hungry runaway
C
D
He walks through town all alone
"He must be from the fort"
G
Bm
He hears the high school girls say
D
His countryside's burnin'
With wolfman fairies dressed
Em
in drag for homicide
Bm
C
The hit- and- run plead
G
Bm
'Neath a holy stone they hide
C
D
They're breakin' beams and crosses
G
Bm
With a spastic's reelin' perfection
C
D
Nuns run bald through Vatican halls
Pregnant,
G
Bm
pleadin' immaculate conception
D
And everybody's wrecked
on Main Street
Em
Bm
From drinking unholy blood
D
as Gunner breathes deep
C
Bm
Em
D
His ankles caked in mud
Em
C
D
And I said, "Hey, gunner man,
C
D
Em
That's quicksand, that ain't mud
C
D
Em
Have you thrown your senses to the war
C
D
Or did you lose them in
the flood?"
Em
D
Verse 2
C
D
That pure American brother,
G
Bm
dull- eyed and empty- faced
C
D
Races Sundays in Jersey in
G
Bm
a Chevy stock super eight
D
He rides 'er low on the hip
C
D
On the side he's got "Bound for Glory"
Em
Bm
In red, white and blue flash paint
C
He leans on the hood telling
C
Bm
Em
D
The kids call him Jimmy the Saint
Em
Well, that blaze- and- noise boy
G
Am
He's gunnin' that bitch loaded
G
He rides head first into a hurricane
Am
Em
and disappears into a point
D
And there's nothin' left
But some blood where the body fell
C
Em
That is, nothin' left that
C
D
Just junk all across the horizon
C
Bm
A real highwayman's
Em
D
Em
farewell
D
Em
you think that's oil?
C
D
Em
Man, that ain't oil, that's blood"
C
D
I wonder what he was thinking
Em
When he hit that storm
C
D
Or was he just lost in
the flood?
Em

Verse 3
C
D
Eighth Avenue sailors in satin
G
Bm
shirts whisper in the air
C
Some storefront incarna
G
Bm
She's puttin' on me the stare
D
And Bronx's best apostle
C
D
Em
Stands with his hand on his
D
you hear five quick shots
C
Bm
Em
The cops come up for air
And now the whiz- bang gang
Am
Em
They're shootin' up the street
Oh, that cat from the Bronx
Am
Em
But he gets blown right off his feet
blastin' 'round the corner
Em
Bm
But a cop puts him right away
C
He lays on the street holding his leg
D
Screaming something in Spanish
C
Bm
Em
Still breathing when I walked away
C
And someone said, "Hey man,
D
Em
did you see that?
C
His body hit the street with such
D
Em
a beautiful thud"
C
D
I wonder what the dude was sayin'
Em
C
D
Em
Or was he just lost in the flood?
C
D
Em
Hey man, did you see that?
C
D
Those poor cats are sure messed up
Em
C
D
Em
I wonder what they were gettin' into
C
D
Em
Am
D
Or were they all just lost in the flood?
