This is my best guess for this song... only heard the version off SOLO
i alternate between the G and C like 320003/320013
Listen to the song for the tempo/strumming
DON MCLEAN - MAGDALENE LANE
GCGC
The angels are lost in the city of stars
GCGC
the wise men are down on their knees.
GCGC
And the fruitman of freeway will sell you his cars
GCGC
when he's sure that you can't find the keys.
AmDG
And the ladies on Magdalene lane
AmDG
all worship the sun and the sand.
AmDG
And the migrants who come can't complain
CAmD
for this is their promised land.
G
La la la la la la la la la,
Am
la la la la la la la.
CDG
La la la la la la la la la,
GCGC
MGM studios can't make the nut
GCGC
they're auctioning Dorothy's shoes.
GCGC
Gable is gone, the good witch is a slut
GCGC
and I've got the parking lot blues.
AmDG
The wizard brought benzadrine smiles
AmDG
and he never let Dorothy doze.
AmDG
She died as she walked down the aisle
CAmD
and all that remains is her clothes.
CDGAm
Over the rainbow a Kansas tornado
CDG
can twist up a little girls head.
CDGAm
Aunt Em's on relief and the tinman's a thief
CAmD
and even the wizard can't wake the dead.
G
La la la la la la la la la,
Am
la la la la la la la.
CDG
La la la la la la la la la,,
GCGC
The prophet has come to this kingdom of lights
GCGC
but there's no one to listen or learn.
GCGC
And the savior performs for the prophet's delight
GCGC
while dissenters are banished or burned.
AmDG
And the heretics beg to be heard
AmDG
but the savior's on tour for the week.
AmDG
Salvation is found in his word
CAmD
if only he'd learn how to speak.
CDGAm
And Lincoln is laughing with Amos 'n' Andy
CDG
concerning the Great Civil War.
CDGAm
And Paul Revere sleeps with the worst looking creeps
CAmD
while revolution's knocking at his door.
G
La la la la la la la la la,
Am
la la la la la la la.
CDG
La la la la la la la la la,
(single strum)
GCGC
Magdalene Lane is the red light domain
GCD
where everyone's soul is for sale.
GCGC
A piece of your heart will do for a start
GDG
but you can send us the rest in the mail.
AmDG
For we have our own families to feed
AmDG
and we can't let them starve just for you.
AmDG
Well, we'd rather not watch while you bleed
CAmD
so come back in an hour when you're through.
GDAm
It's just another city full of sorrow,
CDG
it makes no difference why I came.
CDGAm
I only know I'm leaving here tomorrow
CAmDG
and only the motel man knows my name
Enjoy!
