DON MCLEAN - MAGDALENE LANE


G G C C G G C C
The angels are lost in the city of stars
G G C C G G C C
the wise men are down on their knees.
G G C C G G C C
And the fruitman of freeway will sell you his cars
G G C C G G C C
when he's sure that you can't find the keys.

Am Am D D G G
And the ladies on Magdalene lane
Am Am D D G G
all worship the sun and the sand.
Am Am D D G G
And the migrants who come can't complain
C C Am Am D D
for this is their promised land.

G G
La la la la la la la la la,
Am Am
la la la la la la la.
C C D D G G
La la la la la la la la la,


G G C C G G C C
MGM studios can't make the nut
G G C C G G C C
they're auctioning Dorothy's shoes.
G G C C G G C C
Gable is gone, the good witch is a slut
G G C C G G C C
and I've got the parking lot blues.


Am Am D D G G
The wizard brought benzadrine smiles
Am Am D D G G
and he never let Dorothy doze.
Am Am D D G G
She died as she walked down the aisle
C C Am Am D D
and all that remains is her clothes.

C C D D G G Am Am
Over the rainbow a Kansas tornado
C C D D G G
can twist up a little girl´s head.
C C D D G G Am Am
Aunt Em Em's on relief and the tinman's a thief
C C Am Am D D
and even the wizard can't wake the dead.

G G
La la la la la la la la la,
Am Am
la la la la la la la.
C C D D G G
La la la la la la la la la,,

G G C C G G C C
The prophet has come to this kingdom of lights
G G C C G G C C
but there's no one to listen or learn.
G G C C G G C C
And the savior performs for the prophet's delight
G G C C G G C C
while dissenters are banished or burned.

Am Am D D G G
And the heretics beg to be heard
Am Am D D G G
but the savior's on tour for the week.
Am Am D D G G
Salvation is found in his word
C C Am Am D D
if only he'd learn how to speak.

C C D D G G Am Am
And Lincoln is laughing with Amos 'n' Andy
C C D D G G
concerning the Great Civil War.
C C D D G G Am Am
And Paul Revere sleeps with the worst looking creeps
C C Am Am D D
while revolution's knocking at his door.

G G
La la la la la la la la la,
Am Am
la la la la la la la.
C C D D G G
La la la la la la la la la,


(single strum)
G G C C G G C C
Magdalene Lane is the red light domain
G G C C D D
where everyone's soul is for sale.
G G C C G G C C
A A piece of your heart will do for a start
G G D D G G
but you can send us the rest in the mail.

Am Am D D G G
For we have our own families to feed
Am Am D D G G
and we can't let them starve just for you.
Am Am D D G G
Well, we'd rather not watch while you bleed
C C Am Am D D
so come back in an hour when you're through.

G G D D Am Am
It's just another city full of sorrow,
C C D D G G
it makes no difference why I came.
C C D D G G Am Am
I only know I'm leaving here tomorrow
C C Am Am D D G G
and only the motel man knows my name
