Lyrics by Woody Guthrie
[Verse 1]
A Asus2 D Gm/C Every day, several times a day, a thought comes over me A Asus2 D Gm/C I owe more debts than I ever can pay back, more money than I'll ever see A Asus2 D Gm/C I walk around the streets of Coney Island, I look through the windows of every store A Asus2 D A I peep through the hallways and the doorways and, I think of this debt I owe A Asus2 D A I peep through the hallways and the doorways and I think of this debt I owe
[Verse 2]
A Asus2 D Gm/C I feel like a piece of crushed wreckage, some smashed car in a salvage yard A Asus2 D Gm/C A vision of an old newspaper blown across an old navy yard-aah A Asus2 D Gm/C Curbstone chipped and beaten, a piece of gum stuck to a shoe A Asus2 D Gm/C An empty pack of used matches, an empty version of you A Asus2 D Gm/C An empty pack of used matches, an empty version of you

[Verse 3]
A Asus2 F Dm6 People stroll and they saunter, like paper cups thrown in the trash A Asus2 F Dm6 They're crawling all over the sidewalks, their wallets stuck in their pants A Asus2 F Dm6 And it comes over me like a mist rising, a fog falling over a ship A Asus2 F Dm6 The bell is ringing out danger, but it's too late to cancel this trip
[Verse 4]
A Asus2 D Gm/C I see the mist rising before me, my hand reappears by my face A Asus2 D Gm/C By my waist a cold empty pocket, on my wrist the tears from your face A Asus2 D Gm/C And I think of what I thought this cold morning, it's the same thing I'm thinking at three A Asus2 D Gm/C I owe more than I can ever pay back, more than I'll ever see
[Verse 5]
A Asus2 D Gm/C And I think of what I thought this cold morning, I think of what I'm thinking at three A Asus2 D Gm/C I owe more than I can ever pay back, more than I'll ever see A Asus2 D Gm/C At ten and at midnight the same damn thing, I wish this debt was about money A Asus2 D Gm/C At ten and at midnight the same damn thing, I wish this debt was about money
