Blind Melon – Cheatem Street (Guitar)

 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
It was late one night in Southern Texas

 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
My dad was playing in a rock-n-roll band

 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
He took me along to a place called Cheatem Street

 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
My bags were packed, I was ready to meet you for the first time

 D (Re)      C#m (Do#m)       Bm (sim)
Oh but a phone call would have been nice

 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
I guess you're stuck with what was given to you

 C#m (Do#m)
And the world couldn't change my spirit

 D (Re)      C#m (Do#m)       Bm (sim)
This will remain the same

 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
You were young and living like you wanted to

 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
I understand because I packed up and left just like you did

 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
At 17 you think you got the whole world in your hands

 D (Re)      C#m (Do#m)       Bm (sim)
Oh in so many ways you did

 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
I don't want to have you worry no more

 C#m (Do#m)                                   D (Re)
Let's forgive and forget and finish what we started

 C#m (Do#m)       Bm (sim)
So we can move on

 G (Sol)                             D (Re)
I want you to know I really needed you then

 G (Sol)                                    D (Re)
I talked to you by listening to all of those stupid songs

 G (Sol)                                    D (Re) G (Sol) G#m (Sol#m) 
I would sit along side of the fence

 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
Now you're doing fine and you're gigging here and there

 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
It's been nice to know you for the past few years

 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
When you're living the same dream it's easy to read each other for sure

 D (Re)      C#m (Do#m)       Bm (sim)
Ohhh it could have turned out so different

 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
I guess you're stuck with what was given to you

 C#m (Do#m)
And the world couldn't change my spirit

 D (Re)      C#m (Do#m)       Bm (sim)
This will remain forever

 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
I don't want to have you worry no more

 C#m (Do#m)                                   D (Re)
Let's forgive and forget and finish what we started

 C#m (Do#m)       Bm (sim)
So we can move on
