Via Dolorosa
Mike Mcclure

VERSE 1:
                    D
Angel circlin' the heavens
                             A
thoughts drift by on silver clouds

a weathered crack deep in the sidewalk
                                A
from too much hustle, too much crowd
                                 D
there's too much time left on my hands
                                  G
there's too much heartache in my soul
                                      D      
there's too much hangin' round this pay-phone
 A                          D
there's too much loss of self-control

CHORUS:
                               G
and i guess your love is like nails
             D
so you can crucify me
                        A
and lay down upon your rails
                             D
so you could locomotive over me
                          G
yeah you stone me when i stumble
                             D
and thorns are woven in your talk
 
and i come with you as always
         A                   G
down the via dolorosa when i walk
   G
i walk

VERSE 2:
                                 D
my demons come around with the sundown
                                    A
and they dance their circles in my head

and how they twirl your memory all around
                             A
and lay you down on burning beds

i pity you my saving angel
                        G
i wish i may, i wish i might
                                  D
have you saved your last prayer for me
A                      D
wherever god has you tonight

(chorus)
