Impenetrable — текст песни (Graham Parker)

Intro: Am / Am+9 / Em7 / Dm7 (twice)
Am+9 means hammer the B, that is, Am 577555 Am+9 577557
Am
I`m in a trailer with some white trash.
Em7 Dm7
They`re drinkin` beer and smokin` grass
Am
There`s a dumb chick with peroxide hair.
Em7 Dm7
She`s got Axl Rose tattooed on her ass
Am
They`re holding me up like a trophy in a hall
Em7 Dm7
Like a deer skin or a bear`s head they bought from the mall
Am
I act like I`m with them but I`m behind a wall
Em7 Dm7
behind a wall in the darkness

CHORUS
Am Am+9 Em7 Dm7
Impenetrable I can`t get inside of it no
Am Am+9 Em7
Impenetrable I ca - ah - ah - ah - an`t
Am
Impenetrable (riff)

I wake up in a foreign bed.
The hotel is empty the porters are dead
The maids are diseased but the manager said:
I`ll buy you a drink in the bar pal
Because you`re our last customer. You`re our last hope
The city`s deserted, the Government`s broke
I act like I`m with him but I`m ready to bolt
out through the door into the darkness

CHORUS REPEAT

Guitar solos over verse

Out in the darkness the New Year`s crowd howl
It`s the same celebration for 20 years now
I found myself there once alone in a crowd
And the rules haven`t changed for a minute
They`re hoisting an effigy up on a pole
It`s someone I remember, it`s someone I know
I can`t place the face but when the gasoline flows
I feel the flames lick round my ankles

Fmaj7 Dm7 Fmaj7 Am
Aaaah oh aaah oh
Fmaj7 Dm7
Aaaah oh

CHORUS REPEAT
