Got his CD after hearing "Can't Get It Right Today", then I watched some
performances online (Which do him no justice I'm sure)
C G Darling I been down and out ever since you left town Am F G Well I ain't been the same, no matter how I try C G Sometimes we don't get to choose, the ones who wear the walking shoes Am F G I'm just a poor boy with the blues, no that ain't nothing new
Chorus:
C G I'm gonna fill this whiskey cup, I'm gonna pick me some banjo up Am F G I'm gonna play with the Tragedies, singing good time harmonies C G B. Wright don't you let me down, play that one called Sad Clown, Am F G You know that one's about me, I been thinking about leaving town
Interlude:
C G Am F G
C G Well sunshine she came out today, it don't matter anyways Am F G 'Cause I still see the water, and it's dripping down my door C G I used to hear the children play, I used to hear the birds sing Am F G One day they just stopped, and I don't hear them anymore
Repeat Chorus!
C G Am F G
C G Oh and I got caught in this whistling wind, doing my best to regret these sins Am F G Lord would you forgive me if you knew I'm gonna do it again? C G And it's not that I'm not sorry, Lord, no it's just that I'm not strong Am F G 'Cause when that woman looks at me I can't remember right from wrong
Repeat Chorus, overlap lyrics and get loud!
