Handsome Molly

C  Am  C  Am  C  Am  C  Am

[Verse]
  C              Am
I park my cab on Water Street
    C             Am
I'm waiting for a fare
C                        Am
Watch the young girls in their first heels
          C                Am
Step like colts across the square

[Chorus]
F
Fire on the ocean
               C    Am  C  Am
Thunder on the sea
  G                        F
I think of Handsome Molly
                 C   Am
Wherever she may be

[Verse]
         C              Am
Now, I'm either in this cowboy bar
C            Am
Never in the choir
C                      Am
Sometimes howling and amazed
              C          Am
Like the wind hung up on barbed wire

[Chorus]
F
Fire on the ocean
               C    Am  C  Am
Thunder on the sea
  G                        F
I think of Handsome Molly
                 C   Am  C  Am
Wherever she may be

[Verse]
           C               Am
Well, it's pretty doe-eyed Molly
      C           Am
Could see so well at night
C                       Am
It was a hard trade she made
               C         Am
Just to see it black and white

[Instrumental]
F  C  Am  C  Am  G
F  C  Am  C  Am

[Verse]
C                             Am
Now the word's gone down this north coast
          C            Am
And it's "Boy you best take care
C                   Am
Cut yourself with a knife
             C              Am
Find all the salt that's in the air"

[Chorus]
F
Fire on the ocean
               C    Am  C  Am
Thunder on the sea
  G                        F
I think of Handsome Molly
                 C   Am  C  Am
Wherever she may be

[Verse]
        C                Am
Now the soldiers down on Water Street
     C       Am
They eye the little girls
        C               Am
And the little girls of Water Street
          C               Am
Will take them 'round the world

[Chorus]
F
Fire on the ocean
               C    Am  C  Am
Thunder on the sea
  G                        F
I think of Handsome Molly
                 C   Am  C  Am
Wherever she may be
