236-6132 is the number of my love
C D Am D G
Even though it's been some time since he made fair to answer
C A D Em
'Cause he feints and fades from view like a fighter ducks a glove
C D Am D Em
Though I play the highway kind and he the china dancer
C D
If I was afraid to break or bleed
Em C Em C D
I would find someone much easier to need
G C A D Em
But when drifters' dreams come true and when push comes round to shove
C D C D G C C/BA D
236-6132 is the number of my love
G C Am D Em
236-6132 is the number I must call

When Casey's at the bat, and Sleeping Beauty slumbers
C A D Em
When the frost is on the dew, and my teardrops trip and fall
C D Am D Em
'Til the world is frozen flat, and the long night snows me under
C D
On the icy nails of no return
Em C Em C D
We will strike the match and set the night to burn
G C A D Em
'Cause when Beauty wakes anew and when Casey cracks the ball
C D C D
236-6132 is the only number
Em D Am C
I am not looking for no champion of my freedom
G C G C Am D
I am anything but anybody's foundling
Em Bm Am
Sometimes I feel like I am wandering
C G C G
An old balloon on broken string
C G C G
A bubble in a baby's dream
C G C G
A lost and lonely buzzardling
C G C G
A vulture beating creaky wings
C G C Am D
While angry storms go gathering around me
G C Am D Em
236-6132 is the number of my love
C D Am D G
When the clouds are howling rain and the sky is black as ashes
C A D Em
'Cause it's sunlight where we flew, though the trail is cold above
C D Am D Em
And the raven quakes in vain while the lightning barks and flashes
C D
Still the clouds will fade to grey cocoons
Em C Em C D
And spring the winking monarchs, nodding never-blinking moons
G C A D Em
When the crows come home to roost and eagle weds the dove
C D C D G C C/BA D
236-6132 is the number of my love
G C C/BA D
