Cm Fm
I like my town with a little drop of poison
G Cm
Nobody knows they're lining up to go insane
Cm Fm
I'm all alone I smoke my friends down to the filter
G Cm
But I feel much cleaner after it rains

Cm
And she left in the fall that's her picture on the wall
Fm Gm Cm
She always had that little drop of poison

Cm Fm
Did the devil make the world while God was sleeping
G Cm
There'll never get a wish from a bone
Cm Fm
Another wrong goodbye and a hundred sailors
G Cm
That deep blue sky is my home

Cm
And she left in the fall that's her picture on the wall
Fm G Cm
She always had that little drop of poison

Dm

Dm Gm
Well a rat always knows when he's in with weasels
A Dm
Here you lose a little every day
Dm Gm
Well I remember when a million was a million
A Dm
They all have ways to make you pay

Dm
And she left in the fall that's her picture on the wall
Gm A Dm
She always had that little drop of poison

Dm
And she left in the fall that's her picture on the wall
Gm A Dm
She always had that little drop of poison

If you want it to sound proper, strum similarly to the piano in the original, and slide up on every fourth beat (not fourth strum). For those who need exact instruction, this is how it should look when you slide:

Cm: slide up one fret so you bar 1st, 2nd, and 3rd strings at second fret
Fm: slide so fingers on 2nd and 4th strings are completely off, and holding second fret 4th string
G:Only slide 1st and 2nd string finders up to the first fret
Dm: Holding 1st and 2nd string first fret
Gm: no longer holding 1st string, 2nd string second fret, 3rd string first fret
A: It sounds funny to slide so I don't, but if you disagree4th string first fret
