Wharf Rat - Grateful Dead
Asus2Old man down,
EmWay down down, down by the docks of the Asus2city.
Asus2Blind and dirty,
EmAsked me for a dime, a dime for a cup of Asus2coffee.
I Emgot no dime but I Dgot some time to hear his sAsus2tory.
My name is August West,
And I love my Pearly Baker best more than my wine.
More than my wine -
More than my maker, though he's no friend of mine.
Everyone said,
I'd come to no good, I knew I would Pearly, believe them.
Half of my life,
I spent doin' time for some other fucker's crime,
The other half found me stumbling 'round drunk on Burgundy AwineD A
G D G/D D A D G/D D
But I'll get back on my feet again someday,
The Cgood Lord wGillin', C G if He says I Dmay. Dsus4 D
I know that the Asus4life A I'm livin's no Emgood,
I'll Asus4get a new sAtart, Asus2 Alive the lA7ife I sEmhould.
Break
EmI'll get up and fly away,
I'll get up and fly away, Asus2fly away.
Pearly's been true,
True to me, true to my dyin' day he said,
I said to him,
I said to him, "I'm sure she's been."
I said to him, "I'm sure she's been true to you."
Got up and wandered,
Wandered downtown, nowhere to go but just hang around.
I've got a girl,
Named Bonnie Lee, I know that girl's been true to me.
I know she's been, I'm sure she's been true to me.
