Intro

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

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