Chords with lyrics

Intro:
D MajorD

    D MajorD                G+G
I was stumblin' bumblin' down them neon Music City sidewalks
    A augmentedA               G+G         D MajorD
With a Junkie and a Juicehead who had problems of their own
                       G+G
Stuck with luck that kept me standin' just a step away from starvin'
     A augmentedA               G+G        D MajorD
And some talent that I swore I'd show before I'd go back home

  G+G
80 days out of the Army, makin' neither love nor money
    D MajorD                A augmentedA      A7A7
And my only set of clothes was gettin' closer to the bone
     D MajorD                G+G
Then the Junkie placed an order with the prophet on the corner
      A augmentedA                 G+G       D MajorD
While he told us of the soul that he'd been sellin' for a song

      G+G              D MajorD
He said my fortune was my future but I let it slip away
    A augmentedA              D MajorD
Slowly smokin' myself broke on 80 cigarettes a day
G+G                   D MajorD
Findin' out that crime ain't all there is that doesn't pay
    G+G              A augmentedA
And writin' songs for no one but myself, and the Juicehead who said

G+G                 D MajorD
If I can read my fortune, in the bottom of a glass
   A augmentedA               D MajorD
Then I can see it's time for me to make my last request
     G+G                  D MajorD
Will you fill my grave with whiskey when I'm laid away to rest
    A augmentedA                D MajorD
So the boys can say I drank my way to hell

    D MajorD               G+G
Well I drank the whole thing over, put 1 and 2 together
    A augmentedA              G+G      D MajorD
And it addered up to more of what I didn't wanna be
    D MajorD              G+G
I ain't blamin' Music City but it's only gonna see me
     A augmentedA               G+G         D MajorD
One more work day and a wake up and the time it takes to leave

     G+G
'Cause I got a dirty picture of what could've been my future
   D MajorD               A augmentedA       A7A7
In a prophet pushin' daydreams on a corner for a fee
    D MajorD            G+G
And a wino lookin' lonely at a bottle gettin' empty
    A augmentedA               G+G       D MajorD
And a hungry lookin' Junkie hauntin' tea and sympathy

   G+G                 D MajorD
And I bet that Junkie's laughin' at the life he threw away
      A augmentedA              D MajorD
While he's smokin' himself broke on 80 cigarettes a day
G+G                D MajorD
Pleadin' down the prophet to a price that he can pay
  G+G                 A augmentedA
And writin' words that no one's gonna see, but the Juicehead who said

G+G             D MajorD
Every empty bottle is his private chrystal ball
     A augmentedA                D MajorD
Where he stares into the future findin' nothin' there at all
     G+G                D MajorD
Which is all I'll miss tomorrow when them neon shadows fall
   A augmentedA              D MajorD
On a Junkie and a Juicehead minus me
