G 
Steam risin' off of the river at the break of day 
G                                   Am 
Light creepin' into Room 218 at the Beaujolais 
C 
Left you crawlin' 'cross the floor 
     Am 
Head ringin', your eyes so sore 
G                              D                    Am 
Bloodshot, drownin', while you down another bottle away 

    G 
The ashtray is overflowin', it's full of gray days 
    G                                                  Am 
The devil that you knew one time, may be the devil you save 
C 
Get up and find your shoes 
              Am 
There're some things that you just don't lose 
    G                               D                     G     G7 
The street's been creepin' with the barefootin' blues for days

Call me from the second line 
C                            G  
Pour us up some cheap French wine 
C                  G                          Am 
Pick up your feet; leave your blues fadin' to gray 
            C                        D                      G  
Come on now cut your soul loose, the second line's dancin' away 

          G 
There's a crowd down under the window in a big parade 
           G                                               Am 
They got a brass band dancin' in front, oh, umbrellas they wave 
           C 
They gonna shake it 'til the sun come down 
          Am 
They just laid old Moses deep in the ground 
G                         D                               G     G7 
Get yourself together an' walk yourself right out of your grave

You got to rise up and put on your hat 
          C                        G 
You ain't good, but you ain't that bad 
    C                  G                        Am 
The dirge is over; the band's just beginnin' to play
