Вступление
:
G E
I was running through the summer rain
Trying to catch the evening train
And kill that old familiar pain
Weaving through my tangled brain
D
But when i tipped my bottle back
G
I smacked into a cop i didn't see
Verse 2:
E
That policeman said mister cool
If you ain't drunk then you're a fool
I said if that's against the law
Tell me why i never saw
D
A man locked in that jail of yours
G
Who wasn't just as low down poor as me
Chorus1:
G Am C
Well that was when someone turned out the lights
D G
And i wound up in jail to spend the night
C/G Am
And dream of all the wine and lonely girls
D G
In this best of all possible worlds
Verse 3:
E
Well i woke up next morning
Feeling like my head was gone
And like my thick old tongue was lickin'
Something sick and wrong
D
And i told that man i'd sell my soul
G
For something wet and cold as that old cell
Verse 4:
E
That kindly jailer grinned at me
All eaten up with sympathy
Then poured himself another beer
And came and whispered in my ear
D
If booze was just a dime a bottle boy
G
You couldn't even buy the smell
Chorus2:
G Am C
I said i knew that there was something i liked about this town
D G
But it takes more than that to bring me down
C/G Am
Because there's still a lot of wine and lonely girls
D G
In this best of all possible worlds
Verse 5:(a tone higher)
A F#
Well they finally came and told me
They was a gonna set me free
And i'd be leaving town
If i knew what was good for me
E
I said it's nice to learn that
A
Everybody is so concerned about my health
Verse 6:
F#
I said i won't be leaving
No more quicker than i can
Because i've enjoyed about
As much of this as i can stand
E
And i don't need this town of yours
A
More than i never needed nothin' else
Chorus3:
A Bm D
Because there's still a lot of drinks that i ain't drunk
E A
Lots of pretty thoughts that i ain't thunk
D Bm
And there is still so many lonely girls
E A
In this best of all possible worlds
