  G+G
I came in three days early
         C/GC/G
To meet my boat
  G+G            Gadd9Gadd9
It ain?t the life of Riley
     E minor 7Em7     C/GC/G
But it?s keeping me afloat


   G+G
It?s quiet over Christmas
            C/GC/G
If you got no place to go
  G+G        Gadd9Gadd9
I got my home from river rats
  E minor 7Em7      CMaj7/G G+G Gadd9Gadd9 G+G
The only home I know


  G+G
I found myself a flophouse
             C/GC/G
And I hit the streets at nine
 G+G         Gadd9Gadd9
Get some grub and drink a beer
 E minor 7Em7        CMaj7/G
Maybe go down the line


    G+G
These chips will take your money
          C/GC/G
Shake a young man down
     G+G      Gadd9Gadd9
It?s the same in every one of these
 E minor 7Em7     C/GC/G
Sorry river towns

 G+G      Gadd9Gadd9
River towns
 G+G         C/GC/G
Sorry river towns
 G+G      Gadd9Gadd9 E minor 7Em7 CMaj7/G
River towns
 G+G      Gadd9Gadd9
River towns
 G+G         C/GC/G
Sorry river towns
 G+G      Gadd9Gadd9 G+G
River towns

    G+G       Gadd9Gadd9
Well I picked me up a bottle
  G+G        CMaj7/G
To take back to the room
    G+G         Gadd9Gadd9
Then I saw a young girl standing
   E minor 7Em7       C/GC/G
In a doorway in the gloom


   G+G       Gadd9Gadd9
We?d hardly started talking
  G+G       C/GC/G
The old scenario
      G+G       Gadd9Gadd9
And I just let her work me over
   E minor 7Em7   C/GC/G
Down by the Ohio


 G+G      Gadd9Gadd9
River towns
 G+G         C/GC/G
Sorry river towns
 G+G      Gadd9Gadd9 E minor 7Em7 C/GC/G
River towns
 G+G      Gadd9Gadd9
River towns
 G+G         C/GC/G
Sorry river towns
 G+G      Gadd9Gadd9 G+G
River towns

    G+G
When I asked her if she?d like to stay
              C/GC/G
She was down my stairs so quick
    G+G
I never asked what got her started
     E minor 7Em7     C/GC/G
With the sorry river tricks


   G+G       Gadd9Gadd9
So I get the bottle open
   G+G         C/GC/G
But something?s hit a nerve
     G+G       Gadd9Gadd9
And I?m looking in the mirror
    E minor 7Em7      CMaj7/G
At the face that I deserve


 G+G      Gadd9Gadd9
River towns
 G+G         C/GC/G
Sorry river towns
 G+G      Gadd9Gadd9 E minor 7Em7 C/GC/G
River towns
 G+G      Gadd9Gadd9
River towns
 G+G         C/GC/G
Sorry river towns
 G+G      Gadd9Gadd9 G+G
