E5E5

🎸 Verse:
E minorEm
Sometimes when I'm walking down this lonely street
E minorEm                  D MajorD
Well, it sure don't seem like twenty years
E minorEm
Since I went walking down this lonely street
E minorEm                     D MajorD
And the smell of perfumed ladies filled the air

🎸 Verse:
   E5E5        E MajorE D MajorD     E5E5      G+G
This street ain't got no name, dead end is in the river
   E5E5            D MajorD  C majorC D MajorD
And I lived where I hated life day by day
       E5E5        E MajorE D MajorD      E5E5      G+G
There wasn't nothing I could do  to shake a cold night shiver
     E5E5                D MajorD  C majorC  D MajorD
'Cause to move up Lonely Street you had to have some say

🎸 Chorus:
A augmentedA          G+G
Gambling is bad luck down on Lonely Street
FF                        G+G
And it sure ain't no place to be when a man gets sore
E5E5                 E MajorE   D MajorD
You know I killed a man and I paid all I can
   E5E5
With twenty years on a chain gang
    G+G       C majorC       E5E5
For the flesh and the blood on that jailhouse floor

🎸 Verse:
  E5E5            E MajorE D MajorD E5E5        E MajorE D MajorD
Sometimes when I'm walking down  this lonely street
   E5E5               D MajorD  C majorC D MajorD
I get caught up in a dream that won't let me go
      E5E5              E MajorE D MajorD  E5E5     G+G
And as the bright lights flash up and down this lonely street
  E5E5            D MajorD  C majorC  D MajorD
My mind rolls back the years long time ago

🎸 Chorus:
A augmentedA               G+G
I see my baby stumblin' around with tears in her eyes
FF               G+G
And as I reach out for her she falls on the floor
  E MajorE            E MajorE D MajorD    E MajorE
She mumbles through bloody lips about a black man, robber, raper
G+G        C majorC         E5E5
And in my gut I know I got one to score
E5E5
Ay yeah!

The word was comin' down, down on Lonely Street
                    D MajorD    C majorC D MajorD
That the black man was a dead man if he crossed my trail
E5E5 A5A5 B5B5 E5E5              E MajorE D MajorD E MajorE       E MajorE D MajorD E MajorE

              D MajorD  C majorC D MajorD
I get stinkin' drunk, and always in jail

🎸 Chorus:
A minorAm            G+G
 One night they threw me in with a man they called the mangler
FF                      G+G
 He was caught on the street rapin' some old whore
  E5E5            E MajorE D MajorD
I remember he was quite proud of that
    E5E5
So half-crazed I shot him
G+G         C majorC            E minorEm  G+G
And I cried in the blood on that jailhouse floor
E minorEm     C majorC    E minorEm
Oh, I don't want no more

E minorEm E minor 7Em7 E minorEm
D MajorD E minorEm
