[Verse]
C G C
Down in the dark and the doom of the city
G D
There's a monstrous old gathering hall
C G Em
And a man there making a windy long speech
C D
To the lords and ladies all
[Verse]
G C G
Fifteen thousand, twenty thousand people
C D
Milling and murmuring there
Em D C G
"And this ain't the place," says I to myself
C D G D
"For a fellow that needs the fresh air"
[Verse]
G Em G
So I asked for directions to get me outside
C D
And I followed them all for sure
Em D C G
And I ended up down, ten floors underground
C D G D
And I never saw an exit door
[Verse]
G Em G
The first live soul I saw was a policeman
C D
He was long, he was leaning on a rail
Em D C G
I says "I'll get to him before he sees me
C D
And ferries me off to the jail"
[Verse]
G Em G
So I ease myself up on his starboard quarter
C D
I says "Excuse me, your honour, for sure
Em D C G
But if you've got a minute and nothing to do
C D G D
Could you head me out toward the air?"
[Verse]
G Em G
Well, he pointed his finger back over me shoulder
C D
And I peered away through the gloom
Em D C G
And there, sure enough, was an exit sign
C D D7
Bright as the crack of doom
[Verse]
G C G
Well, I thanked him as nicely as ever I knew
Em D
And I eased my way toward the door
Em D C G
But he fell into step with me, right alongside
C D G D
I could hear his heels on the floor
[Verse]
G Em G
Well, he smiled like the sharks out off Little Green Island
C D
He had teeth all over his face
Em D C G
He says, "You know there's folks'd give an arm and a leg
C D
Just to get inside this place"
[Verse]
G C G
"Oh boy!" thinks I, "I've got my foot in it now
C D
I never should have come to this town"
Em D C G
And I don't know what I'm doin' here now
C D G D
But I'm sure I'm doin' it wrong
[Verse]
G Em G
He says, "There's people travel all over the country
C D
Just to come and see this thing
Em D C G
But if I know your type, you'd rather sit around home
C D G
And listen to Little Red sing"
[Verse]
C G
"Little Red," I said, "I'll be damned," I said
C D
"I got a friend by that name back home"
Em D C G
And he smiles and says, "Look, in this crazy world
C D
You got to call them like they come"
[Verse]
G Em G
"And I can tell a Maine man any-damn-where
C D
I can tell him by his tongue
Em D C G
And you ain't that far from the exit door
C D G D G
But you're a damn long way from home"
[Verse]
Em G
Well, he laughs till the echoes laugh again
C D
He says "Okay, hold out your paws"
Em D C G
So I closed my eyes, and I held out my hands
C D
Like my fingers were breaking the laws
[Verse]
G C
And there was blueberries, blackberries
G D
Tumbled into my hand
C G Em
Rosehips bright with the smell of the night
C D
From off of the summer land
[Verse]
G C
He says, "Little sister stayed home on the island
G D C
She visits us now and again
G Em
Brings us all she can pick from the hills
C D
And it sure does taste like home"
[Instrumental]
G C G D
D G D G
[Verse]
G
Well, we stood in the darkness chomping them berries
C D
Eating them our of our hand
Em D C G
And my heart went away to the rocks and the bays
C D
And my friends in that lonesome land
[Verse]
G C G
He says "Tell me, speaking of our mutual friend
C D
How that tough little fast picking fool
Em D C G
Can find his way through the brambles and rocks
C D
Of a homesick Maine man's soul"
[Verse]
G Em G
"Ah, but I guess he knows when the days get too long
C D
And the morning comes too soon
Em D C G
There's nothing will knock off the edge of your troubles
C D G
Like picking an old-time tune"
[Instrumental]
C G D G
[Verse]
Em G
Well, he stowed the empty bag away in his pocket
C D
Turned on his heel to go
Em D C G
And he says, "Well, good luck, and if you see Little Red
C D G
Tell him Pearly says 'Hello'"
[Outro]
C G D G
