Three Pistols (Live At The Roxy May 3, 1991)

[Intro]
Thank you
"Three Pistols"
Ya know?

[Verse 1]
Well, Tom Thomson came paddling past
I'm pretty sure it was him
And he spoke softly in accordance
To the growing of the dim
He said, "I'll bring on a brand new renaissance
'Cause I think I'm ready
When I was shaking all night long
But my hands were steady"

[Chorus]
And three pistols came (Yeah, sweep them all away)
And three people went on their way
Three pistols strong
And three people spent

[Verse 2]
Well, he found his little, lonely love
His bride of the northern wood
But she took me to the opera house
Like he said she would
Then she sighed and she fell from the balcony
Shakespeare's bent to touch
She never had any time for me
'Cause I didn't protest enough

[Chorus]
And three pistols came (Yeah, sweep them all away)
And three people went on their way
Two pistols strong
And three people spent, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Alright, alright, alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, alright

[Verse 3]
Well, little girls come on Remembrance Day
Placing flowers on his grave
She waits in the shadows 'til after dark
Just to sweep them all away
I say, bring on a brand new renaissance
'Cause I think I'm ready
Well, I've been shaking all night long
But my hands are steady

[Outro Chorus]
And three pistols came (Yeah, sweep them all away)
And three people went on their way
One pistol strong
And three people spent, yeah, yeah, yeah
And three pistols came (Yeah, sweep them all away)
And three people went on their way
One pistol strong
And three people spent, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Alright, woo
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
