Augie March ? Just Passing Through
Capo 2 (Glenn Richards does like that capo 2)
Standard Tuning
INTRO
G--Em--G--Em--G--Em--C--Am-Em-
[G] At ten o'clock is when I [Em]rise from my grave
[G] And cast my eyes over the [Em]ideas that I couldn't save
[G] Become regret and break [Em]upon me now wave after wave
[C] Bid me remember [Am]what I [Em]done
[G] A strange appeal is in the [Em]magazine zodiac
[G] What inspiration are the [Em]women of the dog track
[G] Now there's a wheel and there's a [Em]well and there's a big rack
[C] The perfumed killers [Am]from the [Em]north
[C] Collect each Satur[Am]day to [Em]brood and sally forth
[C] I don't know enough to [Em]know not to show it
Or [C]tell it like I know more [Em]
[C] I'm sorry, baby, but your [Em]roving poet's
Just a [C]bank balance [Am]trouba[Em]dour
Who [C]can't sing the song [Am]any[Em]more
C----Em----C----Em----
[G] At ten o'clock is when you [Em]open up your apple eyes
[G] And drink a cup into the [Em]one of earth the other skies
[G] And out your mouth a tiny [Em]burst of tiny baby cries
[C] Oh where, oh where, oh [Am]where did [Em]you get into to?
[G] A strange appeal unto a [Em]pocket where a body lay
[G] I saw a dream of such a [Em]couple only yesterday
[G] When the one did leave the [Em]other went to war Enola Gay
[C] She had a halo, [Am]was a [Em]heroine
[C] She had a halo, [Am]was a [Em]heroine
[C] Well, I know I'm not [Em]loathe to show it
[C] I smile like a bandsaw [Em]
[C] I'm sorry, darling, but your [Em]roving poet's
Just a [C]footloose [Am]man-[Em]whore
Who [C]can't talk the talk [Am]any[Em]more
[C] We're just passing [Em]through
[C] Just passing [Em]through
[G] At ten o'clock is when I [Em]rise from my grave
[G] And cast my eyes over the [Em]ideas that I couldn't save
[G] Become regret and break [Em]upon me now wave after wave
[C] Bid me remember [Am]what I [Em]done
When [G]time doesn't tear you pay a [Em]fee to make it rip
The [G]ditch witch, the back hoe, the [Em]bobcat, the tip
[G]Soil from the hillock spilling [Em]over on that solemn lip
[C] It covers up the [Am]cedar [Em]mirror
Do you [C]ever see your weakness [Am]any [Em]clearer?
[C] We were winding up the [Em]road to the site
With the [C]windows down and the [Em]cigarettes alight
[C]Singing some rubbish about, "[Em]My soul's alright"
[C] I didn't know what [Am]I could [Em]do
(repeat x2)
It's just [C]you and I, some other [Am]guy, for[Em]ever passing through.
[C] We're just passing [Em]through
(Like a gall stone)
[C] Just passing [Em]through
(Like a rat through a snake)
[C] Just passing [Em]through
(Little rubbish through a rake)
[C] Just passing [Em]through
[D--C--](Incomprehensible)
C--Em-- (repeat as necessary)
