Chords with lyrics

:
   Chord diagramG+G  Chord diagramE MajorE
        I was running through the summer rain

        Trying to catch the evening train

        And kill that old familiar pain

        Weaving through my tangled brain
              Chord diagramD MajorD
        But when i tipped my bottle back
                                       Chord diagramG+G
        I smacked into a cop i didn't see


Verse 2:
      Chord diagramE MajorE
        That policeman said mister cool

        If you ain't drunk then you're a fool

        I said if that's against the law

        Tell me why i never saw
           Chord diagramD MajorD
        Chord diagramA augmentedA man locked in that jail of yours
                                             Chord diagramG+G
        Who wasn't just as low down poor as me

            Chord diagramD MajorD                                Chord diagramG+G
        And i wound up in jail to spend the night
                                              Chord diagramC/GC/G  Chord diagramA minorAm
        And dream of all the wine and lonely girls
             Chord diagramD MajorD                        Chord diagramG+G
        In this best of all possible worlds


Verse 3:
      Chord diagramE MajorE
        Well i woke up next morning

        Feeling like my head was gone

        And like my thick old tongue was lickin'

        Something sick and wrong
               Chord diagramD MajorD
        And i told that man i'd sell my soul
                                                Chord diagramG+G
        For something wet and cold as that old cell
Verse 4:
      Chord diagramE MajorE
        That kindly jailer grinned at me

        All eaten up with sympathy

        Then poured himself another beer

        And came and whispered in my ear
            Chord diagramD MajorD
        If booze was just a dime a bottle boy
                                    Chord diagramG+G
        You couldn't even buy the smell


Chorus2:
         Chord diagramG+G                                                         Chord diagramA minorAm  Chord diagramC majorC

            Chord diagramD MajorD                                    Chord diagramG+G
        But it takes more than that to bring me down
                                                        Chord diagramC/GC/G  Chord diagramA minorAm

                                             Chord diagramA augmentedA
        Everybody is so concerned about my health
