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

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