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
