Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][C][G]
[D][C][G]

[Verse 1]
When you're [G]lost
in the rain in [C]Juarez
And it's Eastertime too
And [G]your gravity fails
And neg[C]ativity don't
pull you [G]through
Don't [C]put on any airs
When you're down on Rue
Morgue [G]Avenue
They got some [D]hungry women there
And they really make a mess out of [G]you

[Verse 2]
[G]Now if you see Saint Annie
[C]Please tell her thanks [G]a lot
I cannot move
My fin[C]gers are all in [G]a knot
I [C]don't have the strength
To get up and take [D]another [G]shot
And my [D]be st friend, my doctor
Won't even say what it is [G]I've [D]got

[Verse 3]
[G]Sweet Melinda
The [C]peasants call her the
goddess of [G]gloom
She speaks good English
And she in[C]vites you up into [D]her [G]room
And you're [C]so kind
And careful not to go to her [D]too [G]soon
And [D]she takes your voice
And leaves you howling at [G]the moon

[Verse 4]
Up [G]on Housing Project Hill
[C]It's either fortune or fam[G]e
You must pick up one or the other
Though [C]neither of them are to
be what [G]they claim
If you're look[C]in' to get silly
You better go back to from
where [D]you [G]came
Because [D]the cops don't need you
And man they expect the same
[G]

[Verse 5]
[D]Now[G] all the authorities
[C]They just stand around [G]and boast
How they blackmailed
the sergeant- at- [C]arms
Into leav[D]ing his [G]post
And [C]picking up Angel who
Just arrived here from the [G]coast
Who [D]looked so fine at first
But left looking just like [G]a ghost

[Interlude 1]
[C]
[G][C][D]
[G][C]
[G][D]
[G]

[Verse 6]
I [G]started out on burgundy
But [C]soon hit the harder [G]stuff
Everybody said they'd
stand be[C]hind me
When the game [G]got rough
But the [C]joke was on me
There was nobody even
there to call [G]my bluff
I'm going back [D]to New York City

[Outro 1]
I do believe I've had [G]enough
[D][C][G]
[D][G][D][C][G]
[G][Em]
