[Intro]
   

[Verse]

When the icebe

rg hit,

Oh they must h

ave known,

God moves on t

he water
     
Like Casey Jon

es.


So I walked do

wntown
   
On my telephon

e,
    
And took a laz

y turn
             
Through the re

         
deye zone.


It was a five-

band bill,
  
A two-dollar s

how.
          
I saw the van 

out in front
     
From Idaho,

        
And the girl p

assed out

In the backsea

t trash.
          
There was no w

ay they'd make
             
Even a half a 

           
tank of gas.


They looked si

ck and stoned
   
And strangely 

dressed.
    
And no one sho

wed
         
From the local

 press.


But I watched 

them walk

Through the bo

ttom land,
       
And I wished I

 played
             
In a rock & ro

       
ll band.

[Break]
   

[Chorus]
        
...  Hey, hey,
             
It was the fou

             
rteenth day in

         
 April.

[Verse]

Well they clos

ed it down,
         
With the sails

 in rags.
         
And they swept

 up the fags
         
And the local 

rags.


Threw the plas

tic cups

In the plastic

 bags,
        
And the cooks 

cleaned the ki

tchen
             
With the stagg

              
ers and the ja

  
gs.

[Break]
   

[Verse]

Ruination day,

And the sky wa

s red.
       
I went back to

 work,
    
And back to be

d.


And the iceber

g broke,
        
And the Okies 

fled,
        
And the Great 

Emancipator
             
Took a bullet 

              
in the back of

        
 the head...


For the 2nd guitar just find a 1930s Epiphone and mess around in G.
