Tonart: Bb major
Verse 1
Bb
I was a stumble bummin' down
Eb
the neon Music City sidewalks
F
With the Junkie and the Juicehead who
Eb
Bb
had problems of their own
Stuck with luck it kept me standin'
Eb
just a step away from starvin'
F
And the talent that I swore I'd show
Eb
Bb
before I'd go back home
Verse 2
Eb
Ninety days I looked the army makin'
neither love nor money
Bb
And my only set of clothes was
C
F
gettin' closer to the bone
Bb
And the Junkie placed an order
Eb
with the Prophet on the corner
F
And he told him of the soul that he'd
Eb
been sellin' for a song
Bb
Verse 3
Eb
He said my future was my fortune
Bb
but I let it slip away
F
Slowly smokin' myself broke on
Bb
eighty cigarettes a day
Eb
Findin' out that crime ain't all
Bb
there is that doesn't pay
Eb
And writin' words that no one's
F
gonna see but did you said it who said it
Verse 4
Eb
I can read my fortune in
Bb
the bottom of a glass
F
And I can see it's time for me
Bb
to make my last request
Eb
Won't you fill my grave with whiskey
Bb
when I'm laid away to rest
F
So the boys can say I drank
Well I drank the whole thing over
Eb
puttin' one and two together
F
And it added up to more of
Eb
Bb
what I didn't want to be
I ain't blamin' Music City but
Eb
it's only gonna see me
F
One more day and the wake up and
Eb
the time it takes to leave
Bb
Verse 5
Eb
'Cause I got a dirty picture of
what could have been my future
Bb
In a Prophet pushin' day dreams
C
F
on a corner for a fee
Bb
And the wino lookin' lonely
Eb
at a bottle gettin' empty
F
And a hungry lookin' junkie
Eb
Bb
huntin' tea in sympathy
Verse 6
Eb
And I bet that junkie's laughin' after
Bb
the life he threw away
F
Slowly smokin' himself broke on
Bb
eighty cigarettes a day
Eb
Pleadin' down the Prophet to
Bb
a price that he can pay
Eb
And writin' words that no one's gonna
F
Eb
see but did you said it who said it
Verse 7
Every empty bottle is my
Bb
private crystal ball
F
And starin' into the future findin'
Bb
nothin' there at all
Eb
Which is what I'll miss tomorrow
Bb
when the neon shadows fall
F
Bb
On the Junkie and the Juicehead minus me
