Tonart: G major•
Verse 1
G
E
I was runnin' through the summer rain,
try'n' to catch that evenin' train
A
And kill the old familiar pain weavin'
through my tangled brain
D
When I tipped my bottle back and
G
smacked into a cop I didn't see
E
That police man said, "Mister Cool,
if you ain't drunk, then you're a
fool."
A
I said, "If that's against the law,
then tell me why I never saw
D
A man locked in that jail of yours who
wasn't neither black or poor as
G
me?"
D
Well, that was when someone
G
A
Am
turned out the lights
And dream of all the wine
C
Am
and lonely girls
D
G
In this best of all possible worlds.
E
Well, I woke up next mornin'
feelin' like my head was gone
A
And like my thick old tongue was
lickin' something sick and wrong
D
And I told that man I'd sell my soul for
something wet and cold as that
E
That kindly jailer grinned at me,
all eaten up with sympathy
A
Then poured himself another beer and
came and whispered in my ear,
D
"If booze was just a dime a bottle boy,
G
you couldn't even buy the smell"
Em
D
I said, "I knew there was something
A
Am
I liked about this town."
A
D
G
But it takes more than that to bring me down,
down, down.
'Cause there's still a lot of
C
Am
wine and lonely girls
D
G
A
In this best of all possible worlds
F#
Well, they finally came and told me
they was a gonna set me free
B
And I'd be leavin' town if I
knew what was good for me
E
I said, "It's nice to learn that ev'rybody's
so concerned about my
A
health."
(They were obsessed with it)
F#
I said, "I won't be leavin' no
more quicker than I can
B
'Cause I've enjoyed about as
much of this as I can stand
E
And I don't need this town of yours
more than I never needed nothin'
A
else."
'Cause there's still a lot of drink
B
A
B

In this best of all possible worlds.
