David Francey - Ankle Tattoo
## NOTE: ~ ~ = Walk-Down from C to G ##
INTRO: C G D G C G D G
C G D G
I was at the bus station, that terminal place
C G D G
With the rest of the desperate, who've fallen from grace
C G D G
Where eyes are averted, where other eyes stare
C G D G
Man talking to somebody, nobody's there
C G D G
And the terminal cases, they're impossibly young
C G D G
And an old man is asking if I've seen his son
C G D G
And the cops do a walk through, bottles slip into bags
C G D G
And the beggar boy standing there, hanging in rags
CHORUS:
D
Nothing much changes
C G
Just the passing of time
C G
And the faces that wait here
D G
At the end of the line
CHORUS:
D
Nothing much changes
C G
Just the passing of time
C G
And the faces that wait here
D G
At the end of the line
BRIDGE:
D C G
And the eyes, they get raised to the blue of the screen
D C G
To the coming and going of men and machines
D C G
And I think, very likely, the departure of dreams
C G
The arrival of the midnight hour
INSTRUMENTAL: C ~ ~ G C ~ ~ G C G D G C G D G C G D G
BRIDGE:

And the eyes, they get raised to the blue of the screen
D C G
To the coming and going of men and machines
D C G
And I think, very likely, the departure of dreams
C G
The arrival of the midnight hour
C G D G
There's a girl with her legs crossed, got an ankle tattoo
C G D G
It's an ugly reminder in four shades of blue
C G D G
And the bad boys, the rude boys, they're into the game
C G D G
And they keep their eyes open for the halt and the lame
CHORUS:
D
And nothing much changes
C G
Just the passing of time
C G
And the faces that wait here

At the end of the line
