Chords with lyrics
:
G+G E 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
D MajorD
But when i tipped my bottle back
G+G
I smacked into a cop i didn't see
Verse 2:
E 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
D MajorD
A augmentedA man locked in that jail of yours
G+G
Who wasn't just as low down poor as me
Chorus1:
G+G A minorAm C majorC
Well that was when someone turned out the lights
D MajorD G+G
And i wound up in jail to spend the night
C/GC/G A minorAm
And dream of all the wine and lonely girls
D MajorD G+G
In this best of all possible worlds
Verse 3:
E 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
D MajorD
And i told that man i'd sell my soul
G+G
For something wet and cold as that old cell
Verse 4:
E MajorE
That kindly jailer grinned at me
All eaten up with sympathy
Then poured himself another beer
And came and whispered in my ear
D MajorD
If booze was just a dime a bottle boy
G+G
You couldn't even buy the smell
Chorus2:
G+G A minorAm C majorC
I said i knew that there was something i liked about this town
D MajorD G+G
But it takes more than that to bring me down
C/GC/G A minorAm
Because there's still a lot of wine and lonely girls
D MajorD G+G
In this best of all possible worlds
Verse 5:(a tone higher)
A augmentedA F#F#
Well they finally came and told me
They was a gonna set me free
And i'd be leaving town
If i knew what was good for me
E MajorE
I said it's nice to learn that
A augmentedA
Everybody is so concerned about my health
Verse 6:
F#F#
I said i won't be leaving
No more quicker than i can
Because i've enjoyed about
As much of this as i can stand
E MajorE
And i don't need this town of yours
A augmentedA
More than i never needed nothin' else
Chorus3:
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD
Because there's still a lot of drinks that i ain't drunk
E MajorE A augmentedA
Lots of pretty thoughts that i ain't thunk
D MajorD B minorBm
And there is still so many lonely girls
E MajorE A augmentedA
In this best of all possible worlds
