Rain started fallin' on the roof that mornin', it was early summertime
          G                             D                     A
We fogged up the rear window of my '67 three-hundred, in-line

My lungs have been hurtin' and it’s likely my liver has taken a lickin' too

Them Beale Street boys are handy with a clap on four and two
    G                                 D                  A
The thrill is gone so slow and easy, won't you love me tender?

The way you move’s a drug and I am on a life-long bender
   G                                  D                  A
So rest them tired eyes and let your dress fall to the ground
          G                        D             A
We're the only onеs left who love Otis in this town

G                                           D                  A
Cracked up skies tried on a couple lives to find the one that fit
G                                                    D               A

Pictures on the wall say it all with the kind-a-conviction make a river burn
          G                                                  D                A
You got a skeleton key on a chain around your neck, I got a chain around my heart
G                                                       D                     A
Church bells ringing in the air down the hill from the house where you were born
       G                                                          D                  A
