VERSE:
      G              D
When everything you own

      G                  D
Will fit in a paper sack

    G                  D
And no one notice you leavin'

        G                       D
Nobody ask you when you comin' back
VERSE:
     G                D
You live in a rented room

      G                 D
Your money run out too soon

        G
You've pawned all your hopes

 D
Bummed all your smokes

          G                   D
And you leave by the quarter moon
CHORUS:
  F                      Em
Quarter moon better than none

           G         Dm    D
When you travel the night road

  F                       Em
Quarter moon better than none

          G       Dm    D   D  G  D
When you carry a light load
VERSE:
     G            D
And every bowery bum 

              G                     D  
You know was somebody's mothers son

    G                  D
He never mean to hurt nobody 

         G                   D
Just a-drinkin' to have his fun
VERSE:
  G                      D
Drinkin' away the good times

  G                D
Drinkin' away the bad

     G                   D          
And nobody know where a poor man go

         G                       D
When he lose everything that he had
CHORUS:
  F                      Em

When you carry a light load
BREAK:
 Am7              Em7
Every man in the mission tonight

     D
Is dreamin' whiskey shadows

       Am                   C         Em
Where heaven is lined with bottles of wine

     D               D      Am7   C   D G D   D G D
And deep sparkling meadooooooows
VERSE:
