I'm not sure if that's played on a bass or some kind of keyboard.
Em
I remember setting out just to see what I could see
Streetcars rolling by and airplanes flying high they all meant nothing
to me
No one ever looked my way or knew that I was there
I kept walking and the rain kept raining until all the streets were bare
D
Ooh ooh, feeling fine mama
Em D
Painted ladies and a bottle of wine mama
D
Ooh ooh, feeling good mama
Em D
They took my money like I knew they would

Repeat intro
Em
City lights were shining on me through my window pane
I kept thinking ^Ñbout the day when I'd be home again
Rocking chairs and summer fairs and swimming in the sea
I kept drinking, sinking, till there was nothing left of me
Ooh ooh, feeling fine mama
Painted ladies and a bottle of wine mama
Ooh ooh, feeling good mama
They took my money like I knew they would
La la la la la, la la
La la la la la
La la la la la, la la
La la la la la
La la la la la, la la
La la la la la
La la la la la, la la
La la la la la
Repeat intro
Em to fade out
I couldn't figure out the stuff at the end. Sorry! The song would be
kind
of boring to play without it, but oh well.
