Intro: F#m, E, F#m, E, A, Asus4, A

A E F#m A
Ginger dyed her hair red to fit her name
F#m A E E
Burny pocked his arms with a pack of camel lights
A E F#m A
long sleeves outdoors to keep the kids from crying
F#m A E A
and Ginger climbed the high wire just to make them cheer.

E F#m A
trapeze float in a buttercup parade
F#m A E
with clowns and plastic parachutes three red the same
A E F#m A
clutched arms fire dropped in a bar in New York City
F#m A E A
and it’s not so far to go
F#m A E A
no it’s not so far to go to find trouble

A E F#m A
A bus rattles downstairs, downtown flying
F#m A E E
with a green seat empty and a window cracked
A E F#m A
sleepung John snores dreaming oceans and whores
F#m A E A
all the while gluing title on basement doors.

E F#m A
He’s Burny Arm’s brother, Ginger’s other mate
F#m A E
and it’s too late to tap the till, the money’s gone
A E F#m A
arm holes long locks a house with nothing in it
F#m A E A
and it’s not so far to go to find trouble.
F#m A E A
and it’s not so far to go to find trouble.

A E F#m A
A thousand mile handhold might keep the party still
F#m A E E
if the holes heal well and the air stays red
A E F#m A
we’ll climb another roof top and scare the crooks away
F#m A E A
a gypsy and a singer in the bone yard.

E F#m A
we walking the moonlight, losing the sign
F#m A E E
sleeping John wakes, he doesn’t know where he is
A E F#m A
a bus stop in up state a bar in New York City
F#m A E A
it’s not so far to go
F#m A E A
it’s not so far to go
F#m A E A
no, it’s not so far to go
F#m A E A
it’s not so far to go to find trouble.
