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
C
Sticker smiles sweet
D
as Gunner breathes deep
C
Bm
Em
D
His ankles caked in mud
Em
C
D
And I said, "Hey, gunner man,
Em
that's quicksand
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
Em
to blastin' point
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
Bm
you could sell
C
D
Just junk all across the horizon
C
Bm
A real highwayman's
Em
D
Em
farewell
C
And I said, "Hey kid,
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?

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
Bm
own hardware
C
Everything stops,
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
G
starts lettin' loose
Am
Em
But he gets blown right off his feet
D
Oh, and some kid comes
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?
