Simon & Garfunkel - A Poem on the Underground Wall: chords

     G    D/F#     D
The last train is nearly due
     D    A/C#       Bm
The underground is closing soon
G           D/F#   D
And in the dark deserted station
 D      A/C#   Bm
Restless in anticipation
   G        G/F#     D    D A/C# Bm
A man waits in the shadows

His restless eyes leap and scratch
At all that they can touch or catch
And hidden deep within his pocket
Safe within it's silent socket
He holds a colored crayon

Now from the tunnel's stony womb
The carriage rides to meet the groom
And opens wide and welcome doors
But he hesitates, then withdraws
Deeper in the shadows

         Bm                          A
And the train is gone suddenly, on wheels
clicking silently
        G                 Em
Like a gently tapping litany,
        Bm               Em
and he holds his crayon rosary
 G              D   Bm
Tighter in his hand.

Now from his pocket quick he flashes
The crayon on the wall he slashes
Deep upon the advertising
A single worded poem comprised
Of four letters

And his heart is laughing, screaming, pounding
The poem across the tracks rebounding
Shadowed by the exit light
His legs take their ascending flight
To seek the breast of darkness and be
suckled by the night
