Darling I been down and out ever since you left town
Am F G
Well I ain't been the same no matter how I try
C G
Sometimes we don't get to choose the ones who wear the walking shoes
Am F G
I'm just a poor boy with the blues no that ain't nothing new
Chorus:
C G
I'm gonna fill this whiskey cup I'm gonna pick me some banjo up
Am F G
I'm gonna play with the Tragedies singing good time harmonies
C G

You know that one's about me I been thinking about leaving town
Interlude:
C G Am F G
C G
Well sunshine she came out today it don't matter anyways
Am F G
Cause I still see the water and it's dripping down my door
C G
I used to hear the children play I used to hear the birds sing
Am F G
One day they just stopped and I don't hear them anymore
Repeat Chorus!
C G Am F G
C G
Oh and I got caught in this whistling wind doing my best to regret these sins
Am F G
Lord would you forgive me if you knew I'm gonna do it again
C G
And it's not that I'm not sorry Lord no it's just that I'm not strong
Am F G
Cause when that woman looks at me I can't remember right from wrong
