Second Line
By The Band Of Heathens
3/11/2012
G
Steam rising off of the river at the break of day
GAm
Light creeping into room 218 at the Beaujolais
CAm
Left you crawling across the floor, head ringing, your eyes so sore
G D Am
Bloodshot, drowning, while you down another bottle awayG
The ashtray is overflowing, it's full of gray days
GAm
The devil that you knew one time, may be the devil you save
CAm
Get up and find your shoes, there are some things that you just don't lose
GDG
The street's been creeping with the barefooting blues for days
Chorus:
CG
Call me from the Second Line
CG
Pour us up some cheap French wine
CGA
Pick up your feet, leave your blues fading to gray
AmDG
Come on now cut your soul loose, the Second Line's dancing away
There's a crowd down under the window in a big parade
They got a brass band dancing in front, Umbrellas they wave
They gonna shake it 'til the sun come down, they just laid old Moses deep in the ground
Get yourself together, walk yourself right out of your grave
Chorus 2:
CG
Call me from the Second Line
CG
Pour us up some cheap French wine
CGA
Pick up your feet, leave your blues fading to gray
CG
You got to rise up and put on your hat
CG
You ain't good, but you ain't that bad
CGA
The dirge is over, the band's just beginning to play
CDG
Come on now cut your soul loose, the Second Line's dancing away
