One Crowded Hour

[A]
[G]pect to see something that [Am]you hadn't seen in some-
[Bm]body you've known since [C]you were sixteen and if
[D]Love is a [Em]bolt from the blue then
[C]What is a bolt but a [G]glorified screw and that
[C]Doesn't hold nothing to-[D]gether[D]  far from these

[A]
[G]Nonsense bars and their [Am]nowhere music it's
[Bm]Making me sick and I [C]know it's making you sick there's
[D]Nothing there it's like[Em]  eating air it's like
[C]Drinking gin with [G]nothing else in and
[C]That doesn't hold me to-[D]gether[D]  but for

[G]One crowded [Am]hour you were the [Bm]only one in the [C]room I
[D]Sailed around all those [Em]bumps in the night to [C]your beacon in the [G]gloom I
[B]Thought I had found my [C]golden September in the [G]middle of that purple [Em]June but
[G]One crowded [Am]hour would [C]lead to my [D]wreck and [G]ruin now I know you like

[B]
[G]Your boys who take their [Am]medicine from the
[Bm]Bowl with a silver [C]spoon who
[D]Run away with the dish and [Em]scale the fish by
[C]The silvery light of the [G]moon who were

[C]
[B]Taught from the womb to be-[C]lieve till the tomb that as
[G]Far as their bleeding eyes [Em]see is a
[G]Pleasure pen meant for them [Am]build-ed and rent for them
 [C]Not for the [D]likes of [G]me no not for the
[C]Likes of you and [D]me__[D]__ and for

[G]One crowded [Am]hour you were the [Bm]only one in the [C]room and I
[D]Sailed around all those [Em]bumps in the night to [C]your beacon in the [G]gloom I
[B]Thought I had found my [C]golden September in the [G]middle of that purple [Em]June but
[G]One crowded [Am]hour would [C]lead to my [D]wreck and [G]ruin oh but the

[D]Green-eyed [D]harpy of the [Bm]salt [Am]land[G]__ she
[D]        [D](F
Takes in-to hers     my  hand__ and she says
[Em]                  [A9]  '[Bm]      '[Am]         [D]     [D](F
  Boy I know you're lying  oh but then so am I and to this I said oh

[G]   [Am]     [C]    [D]  Now

[B]
[G]Put me in a cage full of [Am]lions I'll learn to speak
[Bm]Lion in fact I [C]know the language
[D]Well I picked it [Em]up while I was
[C]*(G-bass)            [G]*
Versing myself in the languages they speak in

[D]
[Am]Hell that night that [Bm]silence gave birth to a [C]baby they
[D]Took it away to her [Em]silent dismay and they
[C]  Raised it to be a [G]lady now she
[C],                   [D],  [D],(F
Can't keep her mouth shut__ and for

[G]One crowded [Am]hour you were the [Bm]only one in the [C]room and I
[D]                       [Em],                   [C]*(G-bass)         [G]*
Sailed around all those bumps in the night to your beacon in the gloom I
[B]Thought I had found my [C]golden September in the [G]middle of that purple [Em]June but
[G]One crowded [Am]hour would [C]lead to my [D]wreck and [G]ruin and yes that

VARIATION:
[G]One crowded [Am]hour you were the [Bm]only one in the [C]room and I
[D]Played a few songs for those [Em]bumps in the night in fact
[C]*(G-bass)         [G]*
I played this very tune but you said
[B]What is this six string-ed [C]instrument but an[G]  adolescent loom[Em]__ and
[G]One crowded [Am]hour would [C]lead to my [D]wreck and ruin[G]__

Barre chord voicings:
  *  root on 6th-string
  ,  root on 5th-string

Organ plays a G-note drone through several chords.
These voicings mimic the ensemble harmony:
   [Am]     [Bm]         [D]
   [Am7]   [Gmaj7] [B]   Dadd11  [A9]
E|--0------2---------2-----3--|
B|--1------0---------3-----0--|
G|--0------0---------0-----2--|
D|--2------0---------0-----2--|
A|--0------2---------0-----0--|
E|----------------------------|

The chord progression is not consistent
hence the labelling of verses A B C D.
