Late John Garfield Blues--Kris Kristofferson
written by John Prine
From the album "Live at the Philharmonic"
I've added a lot of base-notes and such...they aren't necessary, they just add flavor
when you're playin' by your lonesome.

INTRO: D/A D (4x)

D/A                     D
Black faces pressed against the glass
           G       G/B          D/A
Where the wind had leaned its weight
                      D
Wind blown scars and top-down cars
      E        E7       A
All share one western trait
G        G/B           D/A
Sadness leaks through tear-stained cheeks
     F#m                  G*
From winos to dime store jews
                          D/A
Probably don't know they gave me 
      A            A7      D/A
These late John Garfield blues


Midnight fell on Franklin St.
And the lamp bulbs all was broke
For the life of me I could not see
But I heard a brand new joke
2 men were standing on a bridge
One jumped and screamed you lose
Just left the odd man holding
These late John Garfield blues


I'm going away to the last resort
In a week or two real soon
Where the fish don't bite but once a night
In the moonlight of the moon
The horses scream their nightmares dreams
And the dead men all wear shoes
'Cause everybody's dancing
These late John Garfieldfield blues
