Intro

G# C#
When you're lost in the rain in Juarez
D#/C# C# G# C#/G# G#
And it's Eastertime too
And your gravity fails
C# D#/C# C# G# C#/G# G#
And negativity don't pull you through
C#
Don't put on any airs
G#
When you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue
D#7
They got some hungry women there
G# C#/G# G#
And they really make a mess outa you.
G#
Now if you see Saint Annie
C# D#/C# C# G# C#/G# G#
Please tell her thanks a lot
I cannot move
C# D#/C# C# G# C#/G# G#
My fingers are all in a knot
C#
I don't have the strength
G#
To get up and take another shot
D#7
And my best friend, my doctor
G# C#/G# G#
Won't even say what it is I've got.
G#
Sweet Melinda
C# G# C#/G# G#
The peasants call her the goddess of gloom
She speaks good English
C# D#/C# C# G# C#/G# G#
And she invites you up into her room
C#
And you're so kind
G# C#/G# G#
And careful not to go to her too soon
D#7
And she takes your voice
G# C#/G# G#
And leaves you howling at the moon.
G#
Up on Housing Project Hill
C# G#
It's either fortune or fame
You must pick up one or the other
C# D#/C# C# G# C#/G# G#
Though neither of them are to be what they claim
C#
If you're lookin' to get silly
G# C#/G# G#
You better go back to from where you came
D#7
Because the cops don't need you
G# C#/G# G#
And man they expect the same.
G#
Now all the authorities
C# D#/C# C# G# C#/G# G#
They just stand around and boast
C#
How they blackmailed the sergeant-at-arms
D#/C# C# G# C#/G# G#
Into leaving his post
C#
And picking up Angel who
G# C#/G# G#
Just arrived here from the coast
D#7
Who looked so fine at first
G# C#/G# G#
But left looking just like a ghost.

G#
I started out on burgundy
C# D#/C# C# G# C#/G# G#
But soon hit the harder stuff
C#
Everybody said they'd stand behind me
D#/C# C# G# C#/G# G#
When the game got rough
C#
But the joke was on me
G# C#/G# G#
There was nobody even there to bluff
D#7
I'm going back to New York City
G# C#/G# G#
I do believe I've had enough.
