*****DO NOT ADD STRUMMING PATTERNS TO MY TABS*****
Anthony John Clarke - The Only Life Gloria Knows
CAPO: 6th Fret
[Verse 1]
C G Am F
The smoke on the street from the hamburger stand, it's
C G F
Hurting her nose and her eyes
C G Am F
Each doorway's a bedroom for Gloria now
C G F
And it's there that one day she may die
[Verse 2]
C G Am F
She sells her papers without ( ? ? ) off her
C G F
She sleeps every night in her clothes
C G Am F
Gloria's out on the street tonight
C G F
It's the only life Gloria knows
[Verse 3]
C G Am F
Drinking, she'll dance for the man on her own, or
C G F
She'll go for a ride in their car
C G Am F
And the seat's nice and warm when you've stood for so long
C G F
And those men ain't so bad before dark
[Verse 4]
C G Am F
But they never pay much and their touch is so rough
C G F
They say, she's no life in her soul
C G Am F
Gloria's out on the street tonight
C G F
It's the only life Gloria knows
[Verse 5]
C G Am F
Her days on the street wear the shoes from her feet
C G F
And the wind puts a knife in her arm
C G Am F
She grabs at his throat and refuses a coat
C G F
From a young man who means her no harm
[Verse 6]
C G Am F
She loved to chat, if the kids will chat back
C G F
But most of her time she's alone
C G Am F
Gloria's out on the street tonight
C G F
It's the only life Gloria knows
[Instrumental]
C G Am F C G F (2x)
[Verse 7]
C G Am F
She misses her brother, can't speak to her mother
C G F
Since her own father told her to go
C G Am F
Evening is falling, she thinks about calling
C G F
But something inside her says 'no'
[Verse 8]
C G Am F
She spends her loose change on a bottle again
C G F
Drinks it all down in one go
C G Am F
Gloria's out on the street tonight
C G F
It's the only life Gloria knows
[Verse 9]
C G Am F
There's trouble in life between husband and wife
C G F
And the bad days can bring you right down
C G Am F
But be sure that you know where the little ones go
C G F
And always have enough love to go 'round
[Verse 10] (fade to end)
C G Am F
Gloria sleeps in a doorway
C G F
And the wind bites her fingers and toes
C G Am F
Gloria's out on the street tonight
C G F
It's the only life Gloria knows
C G Am F
Gloria's out on the street tonight
C G F
It's the only life Gloria knows
C G Am F
Gloria's out on the street tonight
C G F
It's the only life Gloria knows
