Mexican War Streets Revisited

	  		
Intro Dm 

verse 1 
Dm 
Though by the path I lead The passing of time and the pouring of tea 
Bb             F        C 
Are all I've lately seen 
Dm 
Until our temporal bridge be burned Until our anchor stocks hold firm 
Bb                               F             C 
Where the hands of clocks don't turn, O my soul 
Dm 
May our lips remain discreet While your traps are beneath our feet-- 
        Bb               F         C 
but how long before our tails are caught 
              Dm 
by our "free" thought? 
 
Bb                  C      Bb 
Sugar in the cane, candles low 
Gm                F             Gm      F 
Kettle low on the flame for the teapot? No 
Bb                  C      Bb  Dm 
Sugar in the cane, candles low
 

verse 2 
      F 
On the Streets of Mexican Wars 
                  Eb 
I battle with the memory of a first fight 
       F 
In our contemptible youth, quoted White Nights 
         Eb 
Thinking I’d get rid of you, Waited with a stone in my hand 
                              Bb 
but you were right and Nature had another plan 
                   Dm 
Nature had another plan 

Bb                  C       Bb 
Sugar in the cane, candles low 
       Gm       F              Gm          F 
On the West End Bridge looking down at the Ohio 
Bb                  C       Bb 
Sugar in the cane, candles low 
    Gm           F              Gm        F 
You panic like a mouse when the lights go on 
Bb                  Dm 
Sugar in the cane, candles low
