D Am G D
D Am G D
D Am
I walked in here off the dirty mile
G D
swaggered in with a prison style
D Am
aching bones and dirty feet
G D
needing a bed and something to eat
D Am
I played for you and I played it right
G D
I sang in tune and I danced all night
D Am
I looked at you as the only one
G D
I didn't know it could come undone
D Am
D Am G
D Am
D Am G
I hit the road when I was fifteen
when my mother died and my dad got mean
I've been locked up since twenty one
I was my mothers only son
forgotten most from the early days
but I remember what she used to say
little boy you're my pride and joy
the only good thing about old Fitzroy
D Am
D Am G
D Am
D Am G
D Am
I feel the walls are falling down around
D Am G
it makes me lower that town somehow
D Am
I've been drinking all the wrong things all night
.
D Am G
I've been thinking about what I've got to do to survive this life
D Am G D
D Am G D
