[Verse 1]
C Dm7 Em7 Dm7 Mama's air conditioning went out in July Em7 Dm7 G G7 She bought me this guitar, never said why C Dm7 Em7 Dm7 I hastily moved in with a friend of a friend Em7 Dm7 C Who danced in Silver City late at night
[Chorus]
Dm7 F C She danced in Silver City way back when Dm7 F Am Takin' easy money off the good time men Dm7 F Am The skyline shined like emeralds in her eyes Dm7 F C As she danced in Silver City late at night
[Verse 2]
Dm7 Joshua, my brother Em7 Dm7 Said he'd help me out Em7 Dm7 G G7 When I took up his offer, I had my doubts C Dm7 Everybody went to prison Em7 Dm7 Who didn't die to pay their debt Em7 Dm7 C I woke up in New York City soaking wet
[Chorus]
Dm7 F C I woke up in New York City without a name Dm7 F Am7 Wasn't long before I learned the hustler's game Dm7 F Am Just a poor boy from south Texas, you can bet Dm7 F C I woke up in New York City soaking wet
[Verse 3]
Dm7 Then I met a sparkling woman Em7 Dm7 Who's first name was Nell Em7 Dm7 G She said, "Boy, you're a star and I can tell" C Dm7 But the young are often desperate Em7 Dm7 And hardly take their rest Em7 Dm7 C I fell apart the way you might'a guessed
[Interlude]
Dm7 Em7 Dm7 Em7 F G
[Chorus]
Dm7 F C She danced in Silver City way back when Dm7 F Am Takin' easy money off the good time men Dm7 F Am The skyline shined like emeralds in her eyes Dm7 F C As she danced in Silver City late at night
[Outro]
Dm7 F Am
