VERSE:
   G+G       D MajorD
When everything you own
   G+G         D MajorD
Will fit in a paper sack

And no one notice you leavin'
    G+G            D MajorD
Nobody ask you when you comin' back


VERSE:
   G+G        D MajorD
You live in a rented room

And every bowery bum
       G+G           D MajorD
You know was somebody's mothers son
  G+G         D MajorD
He never mean to hurt nobody
     G+G          D MajorD
Just a-drinkin' to have his fun


VERSE:
 G+G           D MajorD
Drinkin' away the good times
 G+G        D MajorD
Drinkin' away the bad

And nobody know where a poor man go
     G+G            D MajorD
When he lose everything that he had

Every man in the mission tonight

Where heaven is lined with bottles of wine

And deep sparkling meadooooooows
