Alex McMurray – The Day After Mardi Gras Day chords

[Verse]
DYour pocket’s a little lighter
                      GYou’re reeling in the dawn
    Dyou make you way down Esplanade
       A7after everybody’s gone
    Dyou stand outside her window
                   Gshe turns her head away
       D         A7          Don the day after Mardi Gras day


[Verse]
DLet’s all go get our ashes
                       GLet’s get down on our knees
      Dwhile bits of broken costumes
        A7hang in tatters in the trees
Dlord, I’m not a praying man,
                       Gbut I can see no other way
       D         A7         Don the day after Mardi Gras day
            D          A7         Dhey, on the day, after Mardi Gras day


[Verse]
Dthey say it takes only forty days
                   Gto make that Jesus die
   D                            A7so why’s it got to happen every year?
Dwe're never going to get it right
                     Gso what’s the use in trying?
Dguess I’ll just sell my car
    A7and disappear


[Verse]
DLet’s sleep here in our makeup
                     Gwith the garbage all around
Dlet’s learn to live another day
         A7with our trinkets on the ground
Dcause she’s probably on a bus by now
            Gto Miami or L.A.
D                 A7         Don the day, after Mardi Gras day
            D          A7         Dhey, on the day, after Mardi Gras day
