Chords

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!
