Checkpoint Charlie
VERSE 1
[A]I had a[D] drea[A]m I was in [F#m]New Orleans
[E]May[D]be it was[A] heaven
[A]All I[D] know I wasn[A]'t lonesom[F#m]e anymore
[E]And the[D] saints were march[A]ing in
VERSE 2
Then I met a man chiseled from stone
Shared my table at the square
Maybe it was Jesus, maybe Iggy Pop
We smoked my last cigarette

CHORUS 1
[A]What does it[D] mat[A]ter heaven or [F#m]the latter
[E]“I'll pay the[D] tab” said the N[A]azarene
[A]We can take all you've[D] g[A]ot good times[F#m] or not
[E]With Iggy and[D] Jesus in New [A]Orleans
VERSE 3
It was daybreak way out on the levee
Iggy is playing washtub in three-quarter time
Down by the river I heard some clawhammer banjo
Me and Jesus went fishing
CHORUS 2
What does it matter the Bayou or El Paso
“I'll pay the tab” said the Nazarene
High as a fruit bat in Napa Valley
With Iggy and Jesus in New Orleans
VERSE 4
Was it purgatory, was it Checkpoint Charlie's
I decided I was staying forever
That ol' morning sun maybe it was voodoo
I woke up to the whistling southbound train
