5.15 a.m.
Capo: 1
Chords:
[3x0002]
Intro:
5.15 a.m.
snow laying all around
a collier cycles home
from his night shift underground
past the silent pub
primary school, workingmens club
on the road from the pithead
the churchyard packed
with mining dead
then beneath the bridge
he comes to a giant car
a shroud of snow upon the roof
a mark ten jaguar
he thought the man was fast asleep
silent, still and deep
both dead and cold
shot through
with bullet holes
the one armed bandit man
came north to fill his boots
came up from neyland
e-type jags and flashy suits
put your money in
pull the levers
watch them spin
cash cows in all the pubs
but he preferred the new nightclubs
nineteen sixty-seven
bandit men in birdcage heaven
la dolce vita, sixty-nine
all new to people of the tyne
who knows who did what
somebody made a call
they said his hands
were in the pot
that heâd been skimming hauls
he picks up the swag
they gaily gave away
drives his giant jag
off to his big pay day
the bandit man
came north to fill his boots
came up from neyland
e-type jags and flashy suits
the bandit man
came up the great north road
up to geordieland
to mine
the mother lode
seams blew up or cracked
black diamonds came hard won
generations toiled and hacked
for a pittance and black lung
crushed by tub or stone
together
and alone
how the young and old
paid the price of coal
eighteen sixty-seven
my angelâs gone to heaven
heâll be happy there
sunlight and sweet clean air
they gather round the glass
tough hewers and crutters
child trappers and putters
the little foals and half-marrows
who pushed
and pulled the barrows
the hod boys
and the rolleywaymen
5.15 a.m.

the trawlermanâs song
Capo: 3
Chords:
G7addF [323001]
Intro:
weâre taking on water
diesel and stores
laying up awhile
before iâm back on board
theyâre patching her up
to go fishing again
theyâre welding her rudder
scrubbing her keel
scars on her belly
need time to heal
in the dock
with the trawlermen
i know all the people
thereâs nobody new
soon weâll be leaving
with the same old crew
on the green water
the tumbling sea
they ainât running
like the good old days
timeâs just slipping
down the old slipways
in the dock
so dear to me
dark is the night
i need a guiding light
to keep me
from foundering
on the rocks
my only prayer
is just to see you there
at the end
of my wandering
G7addF
back in the dock
| | | |
| | |
i could use a layoff
getting my strength back
but thereâs a loan to pay off
and a few skipjack
so itâs a turnaround
back in the southerly wind
pirates coming in
to steal our gold
you can count yourself lucky
with a profit in the hold
in the dock
when we come in
dark is the night
i need a guiding light
to keep me
from foundering
on the rocks
my only prayer
is just to see you there
at the end
of my wandering
back in the dock

back to tupelo
Capo: 2
Chords:
[x32000]
around the time of âclambakeâ
movie number twenty-five
you and the lying dutchman
are still in overdrive
youâre as strong as when you started
mississippi in your soul
you can still be marlon brando
and the king of rock and roll
it isnât just the records
no, you must have hollywood
the songs alone are not enough
that much is understood
youâll soon be back in memphis
maybe then youâll know what to do
the storylines theyâre giving you
are just not ringing true
/
oh, itâs a ways to go
/
back to tupelo
/
oh, itâs a ways to go
/
back to tupelo
| | |
| | |

when youâre young and beautiful
your dreams are all ideals
later on itâs not the same
lord, everything is real
sixteen hundred miles of highway
roll back to the truth
and a song to give your mother
in your first recording booth
around the time of âclambakeâ
that old dreamâs still rolling on
sometimes thereâll be the feeling
things are going wrong
the morning star is fading
lord, the mississippiâs cold
you can still be marlon brando
and the king of rock and roll
but itâs a ways to go
back to tupelo

song for sonny liston
Capo: 4
Chords:
[x022xx]
A7 [x05655]
Am6 [x04555]
so many mouths
to feed on the farm
sonny was the second
to the last one born
his mamma ran away
and his daddy beat him bad
and he grew up wild
good love he never had
he had a left
like henryâs hammer
a right like betty bamalam
rode with the muggers
in the dark and dread
and all them sluggers
went down like lead
well he hung with the hoods
he wouldnât stroke the fans
but he had dynamite
in both his hands
boom bam
like the slammer door
the bell and the can
and the bodies on the floor
beware the bearâs in town
somebodyâs money says
the bearâs going down
yeah, the bear never smiles
/
sonnyâs going down
/
for miles and miles
/
sonnyâs going down
for miles and miles
the writers didnât like him
the fight game jocks
with his lowlife backers
and his hands like rocks
they didnât want to have
a bogey man
they didnât like him
and he didnât like them
black cadillac
alligator boots
money in the pockets
of his sharkskin suits
A7
some say the bear
Am6
took a flop
A7
they couldnât believe it
when they saw him drop
he had a left
like henryâs hammer
a right like betty bamalam
rode with the muggers
in the dark and dread
and all them sluggers
went down like lead
joe louis was his hero
he tried to be the same
but a criminal child
wears a ball and chain
so the civil rights people
didnât want him on the throne
and the hacks and the cops
wouldnât leave him alone
beware the bearâs in town
somebodyâs money says
the bearâs going down
yeah, the bear never smiles
sonnyâs going down
for miles and miles
sonnyâs going down
for miles and miles
at the foot of his bed
with his feet on the floor
there was dope in his veins
and a pistol on the drawer
there was no investigation
as such
he hated needles
but he knew too much
criss-crossed
on his back
scars from his daddy
like slavery tracks
the second-last child
was the second-last king
never again was it the same
in the ring
he had a left
like henryâs hammer
a right like betty bamalam
rode with the muggers
in the dark and dread
and all them sluggers
went down like lead
they never could be sure
about the day he was born
a motherless child
set to working on the farm
and they never could be sure
about the day he died
the bear was the king
they cast aside
beware the bearâs in town
somebodyâs money says
the bearâs going down
yeah, the bear never smiles
sonnyâs going down
for miles and miles
sonnyâs going down
for miles and miles
