This is my first TAB, so I apologize to all (especially, Todd Snider) if I screwed up this fantastic song.
D A
Poor Phil Ochs, sad and low
G D
Hands in his pockets, wonderin' where to go
G D
Watching those tail lights leavin? him behind
A
Thrown from the limousine for speaking his mind
G
Like a red-eyed photo into a garbage can
D
At the corner of a hero and also ran
G
A fragile heart skipped a fragile beat
A
It's warm in a limousine, cold on the street
D A G D
Thin wild mercury
G D
And gold lame
G D
Things will go your way
A
Or they won't
D A G D
Thin wild mercury
G D
And gold lame
G D
You know what they say
A
Or you don't
D A
It was all over some new Dylan song
G D
That Phil had the nerve to say sounded wrong
G D
Dylan stopped the car, where it shook like a fist
A
"Phil, you ain't a writer, you're a journalist"
G
Death of a rebel, twist of fate
D
If he ever thought better, he thought too late
G
Poor Phil Ochs, he slipped through the cracks
A
Judas went electric and he never looked back
D A G D
Thin wild mercury
G D
And gold lame
G D
Things will go your way
A
Or they won't
D A G D
Thin wild mercury
G D
And gold lame
G D
You know what they say
A
Or you don't
No, you don't
D
No, you don't
