Thin Wild Mercury Ukulele tab

	  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
