[Intro]
E5
[Verse]
Em Sometimes when I'm walking down this lonely street Em D Well, it sure don't seem like twenty years Em Since I went walking down this lonely street Em D And the smell of perfumed ladies filled the air
[Verse]
E5 E D E5 G This street ain't got no name, dead end is in the river E5 D C D And I lived where I hated life day by day E5 E D E5 G There wasn't nothing I could do to shake a cold night shiver E5 D C D 'Cause to move up Lonely Street you had to have some say
[Chorus]
A G Gambling is bad luck down on Lonely Street F G And it sure ain't no place to be when a man gets sore E5 E D You know I killed a man and I paid all I can E5 With twenty years on a chain gang G C E5 For the flesh and the blood on that jailhouse floor
[Verse]
E5 E D E5 E D Sometimes when I'm walking down this lonely street E5 D C D I get caught up in a dream that won't let me go E5 E D E5 G And as the bright lights flash up and down this lonely street E5 D C D My mind rolls back the years long time ago
[Chorus]
A G I see my baby stumblin' around with tears in her eyes F G And as I reach out for her she falls on the floor E E D E She mumbles through bloody lips about a black man, robber, raper G C E5 And in my gut I know I got one to score E5 Ay yeah!

E5 E D E D E The word was comin' down, down on Lonely Street D C D That the black man was a dead man if he crossed my trail E5 A5 B5 E5 E D E E D E Every night I'd walk up and down this Lonely Street D C D I get stinkin' drunk, and always in jail
[Chorus]
Am G One night they threw me in with a man they called the mangler F G He was caught on the street rapin' some old whore E5 E D I remember he was quite proud of that E5 So half-crazed I shot him G C Em G And I cried in the blood on that jailhouse floor Em C Em Oh, I don't want no more
