Intro

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

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