[Verse 1]
C G G D C
Tonight's the night when the waters rise, you're groping in the dark
Em D
The ticket takers count the men who can afford the ark
C G G D C
The ticket takers will not board, for the ticket takers are tied
G D/F# Em C G
For five and change an hour, they will count the passers-by
[Verse 2]
C G G D C
They say the sky's the limit, but the sky's about to fall
Em D
Down come all them record books, cradle and all
C G G D C
They say before he bit it that the boxer felt no pain
G D/F# Em C G
But somewhere there's a gambling man with a ticket in the rain
[Chorus]
C G D G
Mary Anne, I know I'm a long shot
C G D
But Mary Anne, what else have you got?
C G G D C
I am a ticket taker, many tickets have I torn
G D/F# Em C G C G
And I will be your ark, we will float above the storm
[Verse 3]
C G G D C
Many years have passed in this river town, I've sailed through many traps
Em D
I keep a stock of weapons should society collapse
C G G D C
I keep a stock of ammo, one of oil, and one of gold
G D/F# Em C G
I keep a place for Mary Anne, soon she will come home
