E A
When you're lost in the rain in Juarez
B/A A E A/E E
And it's Eastertime too
And your gravity fails
A B/A A E A/E E
And negativity don't pull you through
A
Don't put on any airs
E
When you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue
B7
They got some hungry women there
E A/E E
And they really make a mess outa you.
E
Now if you see Saint Annie
A B/A A E A/E E
Please tell her thanks a lot
I cannot move
A B/A A E A/E E
My fingers are all in a knot
A
I don't have the strength
E
To get up and take another shot
B7
And my best friend, my doctor
E A/E E
Won't even say what it is I've got.
E
Sweet Melinda
A E A/E E
The peasants call her the goddess of gloom
She speaks good English
A B/A A E A/E E
And she invites you up into her room
A
And you're so kind
E A/E E
And careful not to go to her too soon
B7
And she takes your voice
E A/E E
And leaves you howling at the moon.
E
Up on Housing Project Hill
A E
It's either fortune or fame
You must pick up one or the other
A B/A A E A/E E
Though neither of them are to be what they claim
A
If you're lookin' to get silly
E A/E E
You better go back to from where you came
B7
Because the cops don't need you
E A/E E
And man they expect the same.
E
Now all the authorities
A B/A A E A/E E
They just stand around and boast
A
How they blackmailed the sergeant-at-arms
B/A A E A/E E
Into leaving his post
A
And picking up Angel who
E A/E E
Just arrived here from the coast
B7
Who looked so fine at first
E A/E E
But left looking just like a ghost.

E
I started out on burgundy
A B/A A E A/E E
But soon hit the harder stuff
A
Everybody said they'd stand behind me
B/A A E A/E E
When the game got rough
A
But the joke was on me
E A/E E
There was nobody even there to bluff
B7
I'm going back to New York City
E A/E E
I do believe I've had enough.
