DAYS OF PEARLY SPENCER  David McWilliams



        A [Am]tenement, a dirty street
        Wa[Em]lked and worn by shoeless feet
        In s[Am]ilence long and so complete
        Watched [C]by a shivering s[G]un
Old eyes in a small child's face
Watching as the shadows race
Through walls and cracks that leave no trace
And daylight's brightness shun
Chorus (w/filtered vocal):
        [Dm]      [Em]   The days of Pearly Sp[Am]encer
        Ahh..[Dm]ahh [Em]   the race is almost [Am]run
Verse 2:
Nose pressed hard on frosted glass
Gazing as the swollen mass
On concrete fields where grows no grass
Stumbles blindly on
Iron trees smother the air
But, withering, they stand and stare
Through eyes that neither know nor care
Where the grass has gone
(repeat chorus)
Verse 3:
Pearly, where's your milk-white skin
What's that stubble on your chin
It's buried in the rotgut gin
You've played and lost, not won
You played a house that can't be beat
Now look, your head's bowed in defeat
You walked too far along the street
Where only rats can run
(repeat chorus; fade 2nd time)
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
