(as performaned at Mount Holyoke College, May 1969)



[intro]       |  G  |  C  |  G  |  C  |


G                         C
   Nightsticks smashing on innocent heads, now:
G                                   Cm
   A broken skull, but the brain escapes and flies away free.
G                             C
   Phantom policemen counting up all their dead, now,
G                     Cm
   Maybe four, maybe more, extra corpses.


G                            Am
   People living just like slabs in a ruin,
G(maj7)                    Am
   Greasy women linked to tired old men, and
G                     Am(7)
   Not a trace can be seen of the land, now,
G                           Am(7)
   Nails are piercing every orphan's hand, now,
C                         D
   The city feels like a cold cancer tomb,
C                        D           |  D+  |
   We live and die in an open wound.


     |  G  |  C  |  G  |  C  |


G                            C
   Hunchback writhing on an oily street, now,
G                               Cm
   He's dying slow, he's dying fast, but he's finally dying!
G                                  C
   Tourists crowd around and they (unintelligible)
G                                          Cm
   They're hurling stone, they're hurling spit and they're spitting curses.


G                             Am
   All the people just don't feel the pain, now,
G                            Am
   All the children waiting for the rain, now,
G                            Am
   Skies are covered with a nauseous stain, now,
G                                  Am
   Anywhere you look you know it's all the same, and
C                         D
   The city feels like a cold cancer tomb
C                        D           |  D+  |
   We live and die in an open wound.

     |  G  |  C  |  G  |  C  |
     |  G  |  C  |  G       ||
