[Verse]
   D                           A7
Oh citizen hear me sing as im sitting here in the dust

   A7                          D
It's the wrong time for music but I feel like I must

   D                           G           Em7
I'm filled up with sadness, I'm in a dirty mood

   G                 D          A7            D
Tomorrow it might be better but it'll never be good

   G                 D          A7            D
Tomorrow it might be better but it'll never be good
[Verse]
   D                           A7
If I call my sweet honey, shell surely give me all the news

   A7                          D
And we'll handle love business, hell it gives me the blues

   D                     G            Em7
I don't think I can make it, but maybe I should

   G                    D               A7            D
After all, I might feel better though I never feel good

   G                    D               A7            D
After all, I might feel better though I never feel good
[Verse]
   D                           A7
So long pretty baby if I see you no more

   A7                          D
I might drop you some letter from a far away shore

   D                           G                Em7
Don't you cry then, sweet baby, you were doing real fine

   G                                D              A7            D
Though your coffee might have been bitter but your love was like wine

   G                           D             A7            D
Your coffee might have been bitter but your love was like wine
[Verse]
   D                           A7
Sometimes I get a headache or my stomach is ill

   A7                          D
Man, I go to the doctor and he gives me a pill

   D                           G           Em7
But if radio-active ashes fall down from the sky

   G                       D                 A7            D
Boy, you'll never get any better, you'll be dead by and by

   G                 D                 A7            D
You'll never get any better, you'll be dead by and by
[Verse]
   D                                A7
Lord, I don't understand, it is a sin and a shame

   A7                                    D
I don't know what keeps people fighting, I don't know who to blame

   D                                G           Em7
I'm just sittin' in the dust and I don't see the light

   G                   D              A7      D
I don't think it'll be better, still maybe it might

   G                   D             A7       D
I don't think it'll be better, still maybe it might
