Port of Souls Lyrics

PORT OF SOULS ?? Gun Club
Port of Souls is one of my favourite ??late era?? Gun Club songs. It??s pretty
straightforward too! It??s easiest to play all the rhythm guitar using a standard e-
major shape barre-chord.
I??ve lifted the lyrics from Jeffrey-Lee??s autobiography ??Go Tell the Mountain??.
Intro:
Run Molly run, your hills are on fire
Why don??t you go downtown, and get it on the wire?
Bridge: BB, F#F#, G#G#
Now, easy street, can sure get you laid
Doesn??t matter what you??ve done, and you get paid
EE, EE E B C#
In the Port of Souls
In the Port of Souls
Lead break over chorus:
Rhythm gtr: E E E A A A E E E C# A E
The above fits over these lines:
Too much ocean, too much sea
It is no wonder that you buried me
B C# A E B A (Hold ??A?? into next verse)
But its alright
Rose Connally don??t go in the field
You might find something underneath, underneath what is real
Bridge: BB, F#F#, G#G#
Now stop pulling an eyelash, only you that I have
And it makes me so tired, and this could be the end
Repeat chorus
There??s a bunch of feedback and stuff for half a verse, then?
Last half-verse:
Now don??t call John Henry, just kiss him goodbye
It don??t matter anyway, so simply goodbye
Repeat chorus
Second part of chorus repeats several times with different lyrics:
I didn??t get lonely dear,
I didn??t have a chance to see, but its alright
You don??t have to say goodbye
No! no
But its alright
And different lead breaks:
Rhythm gtr: E E E A A A E E E
b = bend
Last time round he??s just throttling the life out of the b string on the 16th fret
with lots of bend!
There we are then! Enjoy!
Cheers
