Well ^CI don't care if I get arr^D7ested, 'Cos to^Gnight they'll need more than a ball and ^Cchain, ^G ^CI don't care who's inte^D7rested, I'm ^Gcoming into town just the ^Csame. ^G I've been ^Cso alone, I've been ^C7feeling blue, I ^Fthink I need a little ^F#dimdrink or two, ^CBe my friend, tell me where the ^D7place is, Where the ^Gwhiskey flows and the dices roll till ^Cdawn? ^G

My ^Cbaby's done me wrong you must have ^D7guessed it, My ^Gheart's so low I think it must be ^Ctold, ^G That ^CI don't wanna know where east or ^D7west is, 'Cos ^Gpretty soon I won't feel the ^Ccold. ^G When I'm ^Cwalking down mainstreet, ^C7feeling no pain, A^Flong comes a cop, he can ^F#dimtake my name, And ^Cexplain to me what a federal ^D7case is, I'm ^Gmixing the barley with the grape ^Cagain.

^EBright city ^Amlights, ^Emake me feel al^Amright, ^D7I'm right or wrong and to^Gmorrow never ^G7comes.

^CI don't care if I get investi^D7gated, And the ^Gcity fathers they all black my ^Cname. ^G

I'm ^Cpretty sure that you can smell the ^D7traces, For to^Gmorrow morning, I'll take all the ^Cblame. ^G I've been ^Cfeeling bad and ^C7feeling blue, I ^Fthink I need a little ^F#dimwhiskey or two, ^CGod, brother, you look like you could do with it too.^D7 (That's true) ^GTonight I'll sleep on a walking-cane.^C ^G

^EBright city ^Amlights, ^Emake me feel al^Amright, ^D7I'm right or wrong and to^Gmorrow never comes.^G7 ^CI don't care if I get ar^D7rested, Cause to^Gnight they'll need more than a ball and ^Cchain. ^G

^CI don't care who's inter^D7ested, I'm ^Gcoming into town just the ^Csame, ^G I've been ^Cfeeling alone and I've been ^C7feeling blue. I ^Fthink I need a little ^F#dimdrink or two.

Hey, ^Cbe my friend, tell me where the ^D7place is, Where the ^Gwhiskey flows and the dices roll till ^Cdawn? ^G
