| Am7 = x02010
| * = Pick notes downstrum one by one skipping both E and e strings.[Verse 1]
G C* The lights go out each evening at eleven G C* And up and down our block there's not a sound G C* I close my eyes and search for peaceful slumber F G C* And just then the local memory comes around
[Chorus 1]
F Piles of blues against the door C To make sure sleep will come no more Am7 C G He's the hardest working memory in this town F Turns out happiness again C And then lets loneliness back in F G C C And each night the local memory comes around
[Verse 2]
G* C* Each day I say tonight I may escape him G* C* I pretend I'm happy and never even a frown G* C* But at night I close my eyes and pray sleep finds me F G C But again the local memory comes around
[Chorus 2]
F Rids the house of all good news C Then sets out my crying shoes Am7 G What a faithful memory never lets me down F We're both up till light of day C Chasing happiness away F G C C And each night the local memory comes around
