D#         A#
Run Molly run
C#                 A#
your hills are on fire
D#            A#
why don't you go downtown
C#                 A#   F C D D#
and get it on the wire


       A#
Now on easy street
     C#           A#
can sure get you laid
 D#             A#
doesn't matter what you've done
C#           A#
and you get paid


                        A#  F  G
        In the port of souls
                        A#  F  G
        in the port of souls
   F D#                     A#
        it's too much ocean ... too much sea
     D#                    A#
        no wonder that you ... buried me
G D# A#                   A#  A G D# A# F D#
        but its alright


Rose Connally
don't go in the field
you might find something underneath
underneath what is real


And stop pulling an eyelash
only you that I have had
and it makes me so tired
and it could be the end


        In the port of souls
        in the port of souls
        it's too much ocean, too much sea
        no wonder that you buried me
        but its alright


instrumental  = latter part of chorus starting with F D# ...
                then first four lined part of verse with bass, drums and low guitar feedback


Don't call John Henry
just kiss me goodbye
like John anyway
just simply goodbye



        In the port of souls
        in the port of souls
        it's too much ocean, too much sea
        no wonder that you buried me
        but its alright


                      A#
        I didn't get ... lonely dear
     D#                 A#
        I din't have a ... chance to see
G D# A#                    A#  A G D# A# F D#
        but it's alright

                        A#
        You don't have ... to say goodbye
     D#      A#
        no! ... No
G D# A#                    A#  A G D# A# F D#
        --------------


instrumental  = continue with latter part of chorus (like before), fading out after the third time
