Em Cmaj7 G D
Em Cmaj7
There's a place way down in Bed Stuy,
G D
Where a boy lives behind bricks,
Em Cmaj7
He's got an eye for girls of eighteen,
G D
And he turns them out like tricks
Em Cmaj7
I went down to a place in Bed Stuy
G D
A little liquor on my lips
Em Cmaj7
I let him climb inside my body
G D
And held him captive in my kiss
Em Cmaj7
And there's a storm you're starting now
G D
And there's a storm you're starting now
Em Cmaj7
And there's a storm you're starting
Em
I'm a wanderess
Cmaj7
I'm a one night stand
G
Don't belong to no city
D
Don't belong to no man
Em Cmaj7 G D
I'm the violence in the pouring rain
Em
I'm a hurricane
Cmaj7 G D
Ha ah ah ha ah ah ah
Em
I'm a hurricane
Cmaj7 G D
Ha ah ah ha ah ah ah
Em
I'm a hurricane
Em Cmaj7
I went down to a place in Brooklyn
G D
Where you tripped on LSD
Em Cmaj7
And I found myself reminded
G D
To keep you far away from me
Em Cmaj7
And there's a storm you're starting now
G D
And there's a storm you're starting now
Em Cmaj7
And there's a storm you're starting
Em
I'm a wanderess
Cmaj7
I'm a one night stand
G
Don't belong to no city
D
Don't belong to no man
Em Cmaj7 G D
I'm the violence in the pouring rain
Em
I'm a hurricane
Cmaj7 G D
Ha ah ah ha ah ah ah

I'm a hurricane
Cmaj7 G D
Ha ah ah ha ah ah ah

He says, "Oh, baby, beggin' you to save me.
G D
Well lately, I like 'em crazy.
Em Cmaj7
Oh, maybe, you could devastate me.
G D
Little lady, come and fade me."
Em
I'm a wanderess
Cmaj7
I'm a one night stand
G
Don't belong to no city
D
Don't belong to no man
Em Cmaj7 G D
I'm the violence in the pouring rain
Em
Come and fade me
Cmaj7
Come and fade me
G D
I'm a hurricane
