Low dowDn leaving sun,i've done Did everything that needs done G Woe is me,why canD't i see B7 I best be leaE7ving well enough alone A Them neDon black nights,couldn't stay out of fights Them keep a-huanting me memories G There is one in every crowd,for crying Dout loud B7 Why was it alwE7ays turning out be me A
Chorus:
Where dDoes it go,the good Lord only knows It seems like it was just the other day G I was down at Green Gables,hawking Dthem tables B7 And generallyE7 blowing all my hard earned pay A Piano rDolled blues,danced holes in my shoes There weren't another other way to be G For loveable losers,no luck caDn't boozers B7 And honky toE7nk heroes like me A
Chorus. Thanks to David M. Potter (dmp12@cornell.edu) for the lyrics. Perret Charles-Amir : perret@diva.univ-mlv.fr
