Chords

There are not really minor and major chords, I did it this way coz, well, that way it sound nice. But all in all those are just tips, playing this song just with chords doesn't "complete" it.

C#  C    G# G  F#  F
[tab]        Ab         G    F#  F
And the stars wash down the sink

         Eb          D
I am the king of the blues

  C#                    C
I scape the clay off my shoes

    G    Ab       Hb    Ab G       F
And wade down the gutter   and the moon

C#  C    G#        G        F#   F
The moon blinds my eye with opal cataracts

     Ab              G             F#  F
As I cut through the saw-mills and the stacks,

        Eb       D
Leaping over the gully where I would 

C#           C
one day take Lucy

     G    Ab    Hb           Ab G          C
Then wash up my hands in the gully and the moon.

C C# C C# C C# (not sure here)

       C    C#       Eb            C#
Such a long way from home, just me and

C#  C    G# G  F#  F
The moon is in the gutter

       Ab        G            F#  F
All my plans are flushed down the drain

         Eb          D
I wander lonely as a cloud

C#                     C
  Over memories at her mound

     G   Ab          Hb    Ab G      F
Then lie down in the bitter   gutter moon.
