verse 1
C G
Well a town's a town when you're upside down,
F Am Am7/G F
Lay your bones on a bed, it's that easy
G C G
To have a kind of home
C G
Where the money goes I know too well
F Am Am7/G F
Spreads out like the jobs I've worked so many
C G
Hard days don't seem to end
Pre-Chorus 1
Am Em F C
Well I'm wasting time, wasting time
F C G
And I only know one way to go to start again
C G
Let it roll, let it roll
Am Em
Down the banks of the Ohio
F C
When you can't rely on what you make
F G
To pay the rent on time
C G
So I'm goin' away,
Am Em
Down to the fortifio (?)
F C G
Oh way down there in Cairo, IL
C
I'm gonna stay

C G
Now what do you say when the bottom falls out,
F Am Am7/G F
Try to make amends with anybody

That ever caused you pain

It's no fault of mine that it should end this way
F Am Am7/G F
And I wont' apologize to anybody
C G
For a thing that I can't change

Woah Cairo, you build your levies tall,

I want to sit beside the water

Oh way down there in Cairo, IL

I'm gonna stay
