[Verse 1]
[A5]
Prayed in the ghetto with my face in the cement,
[A5]
Heard the last moan of a boxer, seen the massacre of the innocent
[A5]
Felt around for the light switch, felt around for her face
[A5]
And treated like a farm animal on a wild goose chase
[Chorus]
[D5] [A5]
West of the Jordan, east of the Rock of Gibraltar,
[E5] [D5]
I see the turning of the page, curtain risin' on a new age,
[A5] [C5] [D5] [E5] [A5] | [A5] | % | % | % |
See the groom still waitin' at the altar.
[Verse 2]
[A5]
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,
[A5]
Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery,
[A5]
Got the message this morning, the one that was sent to me
[A5]
About the madness of becomin' what one was never meant to be.
[Chorus]
[D5] [A5]
West of the Jordan, east of the Rock of Gibraltar,
[E5] [D5]
I see the turning of the page, curtain risin' on a new age,
[A5] [C5] [D5] [E5] [A5] | [A5] | % | % | % |
See the groom still waitin' at the altar.
[Verse 3]
[A5]
Don't know what I can say about Claudette that wouldn't come back to haunt me,
[A5]
Finally had to give her up 'bout the time she began to want me.
[A5]
But I know God has mercy on them who are slandered and humiliated.
[A5]
I'd a-done anything for that woman if she didn't make me feel so obligated.
[Chorus]
[D5] [A5]
West of the Jordan, east of the Rock of Gibraltar,
[E5] [D5]
I see the turning of the page, curtain risin' on a new age,
[A5] [C5] [D5] [E5] [A5] | [A5] | % | % | % |
See the groom still waitin' at the altar.
[Verse 4]
[A5]
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
[A5]
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
[A5]
There's a wall between you and what you want and you got to leap it,
[A5]
Tonight you got the power to take it, tomorrow you won't have the power to
keep it.
[Chorus]
[D5] [A5]
West of the Jordan, east of the Rock of Gibraltar,
[E5] [D5]
I see the turning of the page, curtain risin' on a new age,
[A5] [C5] [D5] [E5] [A5] | [A5] | % | % | % |
See the groom still waitin' at the altar.
[Verse 5]
[A5]
Cities on fire, phones out of order,
[A5]
They're killing nuns and soldiers, there's fighting on the border.
[A5]
What can I say about Claudette? Ain't seen her since January,
[A5]
She could be respectably married or running a whorehouse in Buenos Aires.
[Chorus]
[D5] [A5]
West of the Jordan, east of the Rock of Gibraltar,
[E5] [D5]
I see the turning of the page, curtain risin' on a new age,
[A5] [C5] [D5] [E5] [A5] | [A5] | % | % | % |
See the groom still waitin' at the altar. (repeat and fade)
