Sleep of the Just

CThe soldier asked my name abnd did I come here very often
Well I gthought that he was askiGng me to dance
In my Choly coat andb hat and him in his red bonnet
We'd have gmade a lovely couplGe but we never had the chance

[chorus:]
CAnd now you Gsay that you've got to go
CWell if you Gmust you must
CI suppose that Gyou need the Csleep of the CjustG    C    C 

Well it was a powerful day and there were black crows in the road
And I kept my strong opinions to my chest
I suppose I should have told them that I was on fire for you
When the bus burst into flames outside some place, 'The Poet's Rest'

[Repeat chorus; come out like this:] C G C C7

A Ggirl woke up in a nakebd light and said
Be even Glooked like her brother inC the army but she never mentions him
Be'll be B7tucked up in his bedg tonight with his dirty-pictures girl
Saying, G'You're some mother's daughter you know or is it

CimmaterC/Gial gC/Hirl?'C/G   

Now she's pinned up upon the barracks wall in her home town
All the soldiers taking turns with their attentions
And as they speculate what she'd look like beneath that thin nightgown
Bis family pride was rising up as he cast his eyes down

[Last chorus: come out of it with Gm then repeat verse chords
to fade]
