Whitey Morgan- Drunken Nights in The City
G
I'll tell you a story about a night on the town
D
Started off drinking at five
By the time I was through
I'd near worn out my shoes
G
And visited every known dive
All the lights in the alley
Fall dim on the ground
C
When you're trying to see your way home
And the all night ladies
G
In their perfume so fine
D C G
Yeah, won't leave a poor boy alone
C
Drunken nights in the city
G
Showin' their toe
C G
They'll take you for more than you know
C
You can't judge a book
G
And you can't trust a crook
D C G
Down where the neon lights glow
G
Early next morning I rose up so bad
D
My eyes were as red as the light
My pockets were empty, so was my heart
G
I promised to put things right
I went down to the preacher, fell on my knees
C
Asked the preacher to right all the wrongs
G
But he just shoke his head, looked sorry when he said
D C G
"Son, you been on them streets far too long"
C
Drunken nights in the city
G
Showin' their toe
C G
They'll take you for more than you know
C
You can't judge a book
G
And you can't trust a crook
D C G
Down where the neon lights glow
C
Drunken nights on the city
G
Are showing their toe
C G
They'll take you for more than you know
C
You can't judge a book
G
And you can't trust a crook
D C G
Yeah, down where the neon lights glow
D C G
Yeah, down where the neon lights glow
