[Verse 1]
[G] [Em]
The rain falls down on last year's man
[F] [C]
That's a Jews harp on the table, that's a crayon in his hand.
[G] [Em]
And the corners of the blue print are ruined since they rolled
[F] [C]
Far past the stems of thumb tacks that still throw shadows on the wood.
[F] [D] [G] [D]
And the skylight is like the skin for a drum I'll never mend
[G] [Em] [F] [C]
And all the rain falls down, Amen, on the works of last year's man.
[Verse 2]
[G] [Em]
I met a lady, she was playing with her soldiers in the dark
[F] [C]
Oh, one by one she had to tell them that her name was Joan of Arc.
[G] [Em]
I was in that army, yes I stayed a little while
[F] [C]
I want to thank you Joan of Arc for treating me so well.
[F] [D] [G] [D]
And tho' I wear a uniform I was not born to fight
[G] [Em] [F] [C]
All these wounded boys you lie beside; good night my friends, goodnight.
[Verse 3]
[G] [Em]
I came upon a wedding that old fam'lies had contrived
[F] [C]
Bethlehem the bridegroom Babylon the bride.
[G] [Em]
Great Babylon was naked Ah! she stood there trembling for me
[F] [C]
And Bethlehem inflamed us both like the shy one at some orgy.
[F] [D] [G] [D]
And when we fell together all our flesh was like a veil
[G] [Em] [F] [C]
That I had to draw aside to see the serpent eat its tail.
[Verse 4]
[G] [Em]
Some women wait for Jesus and some women wait for Cain
[F] [C]
So I hang upon my altar and I hoist my axe again.
[G] [Em]
And I take the one who finds me back to where it all began
[F] [C]
When Jesus was the honeymoon and Cain was just the man.
[F] [D] [G] [D]
And we read from pleasant Bibles that are bound in blood an skin
[G] [Em] [F] [C]
That the wilderness is gathering all its children back again.
[Verse 5]
[G] [Em]
The rain falls down on last year's man
[F] [C]
An hour has gone by and he has not moved his hand.
[G] [Em]
But everything will happen if he only gives the word
[F] [C]
The lovers will rise up and the mountains touch the ground.
[F] [D] [G] [D]
But the skylight is like skin for a drum I'll never mend
[G] [Em] [F] [C]
And all the rain falls down, Amen, on the works of last year's man.
