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

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