The New Basement Tapes - Liberty Street Chords

       G               Em
He came from the old religion,
       C
But possessed no magic skill
  G                Em     A7
Descending from machinery,
        D
He left nothing in his will,
    G                      F
The crops are failing, the women wailin’,
            C    Cmaj7/E     Am
It’s in the papers at your feet
    G                D
Six months in Kansas City,
        C           G
Down on Liberty Street


       G            Em
It was sad to see it,
            C
that little lady goin’ in
   G         Em  A7
Arrested for arson 
          D
once they asked where she’d been
G                      F
Down on her knees, not even a breeze,
        C    Cmaj7/E    Am
Another victim of the heat
    G                D
Six months in Kansas City,
        C            G
Down on Liberty Street

       G                      Em
Things sure don’t look too pretty!
        C
Cause a man to rob and steal,
        G             Em      A7
I got a full six more months out here
         D
Can’t be begging for my meals
          G                        F
Now, look here, Baby Snooks, don’t matter what books
         C     Cmaj7/E    Am
you keep underneath your seat
    G                D
Six months in Kansas City,
        C            G
Down on Liberty Street
    G                D
Six months in Kansas City,
        C            G
