Tom: C
C G
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
B. Wright don't you let me down, play that one called Sad Clown,
Am F 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
