[Verse 1]
When [G]you're
lost in the rain in
Juarez [C]and it's
Easter time [G]too[C][G]
Don't put [C]on any airs when you're down
out of room or you have [G]a news
They got some [D]hungry women there who
[C]really make a wreck out of [G]you
Now if you see
St.
Annie, [C]please tell her thank[G]s a lot
I cannot move, my fin[C]gers are all in a [G]knot
I [C]don't have the strength to get
up and take another [G]shot
But my best [D]friend, my doc,
he won't [C]even tell me what it is [G]I've got
Sweet
Melinda, the [C]peasants call
her the goddess of [G]blues
She speaks good
English and in[C]vites you up into [G]her room
But [C]you're so kind,
and careful not to go to her too [G]soon
[D]But she takes your voice,
and [C]leaves you howlin' at the [G]moon[C][G]
Up on
High
House at
Project
Hill, [C]you'll see the fortune of [G]fame
You must pick one or the other,
because [C]neither of them is to be what they [G]claim
And if [F]you're look[C]ing to get silly, oh,
you better go back to from where you [G]came
Because the [D]cops don't need you,
and [C]men, they expect the [G]same
Now all the authorities,
[C]they just stand around and [G]boast
About how they blackmailed the sergeant
-at [C]-arms into leaving his [G]post
And pick[C]ing up angels who just
arrived here from the [G]coast
Who looked so [D]fine at first, but who [C]left looking just like a [G]ghost[C][G]

[Verse 2]
I [G]started on burgundy and soon hit
the hardest [C]stuff[G]
Everybody said then,
stick [C]around me when the game [G]got [C]rough[G]
[F]But the [C]joke was on me,
there's no one even left for me to [G]bluff
I'm going [D]back to
New
York
City, I [C]do believe I've
had [G]enough[C][G]
I'm going [D]back to
New
York
City, I [C]don't believe I've
had [G]enough[C][G]
I'm [D]going back to
New
York
City, I [C]don't believe I've had
[G]enough[C][G][C][G][C][G]
