Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I b[G]een[D] ha[G]ngi[D]n' [G]out[D] uptown,[G]
Lord, in that low down rain
[D]Watchin' good time [Em]Charlie Francis
[G]drivin' me insane
[A]Up on shady [G]Charlotte Street
those green lights look red
I wish I was back [Em]home on the farm,
[A]Lord, in my feather [G]bed[D][G][D][G][Bm][A][G]
[D]

[Verse 2]
I found myself a [G]pa per friend
who's read yesterday's news
I [D]folded up [G]page twenty-one and
and stuck it in my [Bm]shoes
I [A]gave me a nickel [G]to the poor
my good turn for the [D]day
I folded up my [Bm]old billfold and I
[A]threw it far [G]away
And I got myself a [A]rockin' chair To see if I could [C]lose

[Verse 3]
[G]These
thin dime [Bm]hard times
[A]Hell on Chu[D]rch Street blues[G]
[D][G][Bm][A][G][D]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]
[A][G]
I [D]wish I had some gui[G]tar [D]strings
Old Black Diamond brand
I'd string up this [G]Martin box
and go and join some [D]band
But I [Em]guess I'll just [G]stay right
here and [D]pick and sing a while
Try to earn [A]me a [Bm]little change
and [A]give them folks [G]a smile
And I [D]got my[G]self a [A]rockin' chair

[Verse 5]
To see if I could [D]lose
These [G]thin [A]dime [Bm]hard [A]times
And I [D]got myself

[Verse 6]
a [G]rockin' chair
To [A]see if I could [C]lose
These [G]thin [D]dime [Bm]hard [A]times

[Outro 1]
Hell on Church Street [D]blues[G]
