A white man sings the blues

Selling roses of papier mache

     C                   D
With flecks of starlight dew

Em                     D
I swiped a bunch and I threw it your way

Where hazy moonlight glowed

End of the avenue

Run hide seek in your own backyard

Mama's backyard won't do

Am                 D
Moonlight wanes as hound dogs bay

Em          B         Em
Never quite catch the tune

Am                 D
Stars fall down in buckets like rain

Em                  B        Em
Till there ain't no standing room

Am                    B
Bright blue boxcars, train by train

Am                   B
Rattle while dreams unfold

Way down along Seminole Square

C                  G
Belly of the river tide

G               D         G
Call for me and I will be there

        C               D
For the price of a taxi ride

Em                         D
Night time double clutches into today

        C                     Bm
Like a truck downshifting its load
[Chorus]
C   G     A7/G       C/G        G
Way down, down along lazy river road

G                 D                 G
Thread the needle right through the eye

    C                   G
The thread that runs so true

G                D        G
All the others I let pass by

  C           D
I only wanted you

Em                    D
I never cared much for careless love

      C                       Bm
But, oh, how your bright eyes glowed
[Chorus]
