Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]When you're lost in the rain in Juarez
And [C]it's [G]Eastertime, too
And your gravity fails
And negativity don't pull you through
Don't [C]put on any airs
When you're down on
Rue [G]Morgue Avenue
They got [D]some hungry women there
And they [G]really [C]make a mess [G]out of you

[Verse 2]
Well, [G]if you see Saint Annie
[C]Please, tell her, "Thanks a [G]lot"
I cannot move and my fin[C]gers
They are all in [G]a knot
I haven't [C]got the strength
To get up and take another [G]shot
And my [D]best friend, the doctor
Won't [C]even say what [D]I've [G]got

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]Sweet Melinda
The peas[C]ants call her
the goddess of [G]gloom
She speaks good English
And she in[C]vites you up into her [G]room
And you're [C]so kind
And careful not to go to her too [G]soon
And she [D]takes your voice
And [C]leaves you howling [D]at the moon
[G]

[Verse 4]
Well, up on Housing Project Hill
[C]It's either fortune or fam[G]e
You can pick one or the other
Though [C]neither of them are
to be what they [G]claim
And if you're [C]lookin' to get silly
You better go back to from
where [G]you came
Because the [D]cops don't need you
An[C]d man, they exp[D]ect the same
[G]

[Verse 5]
Now, all the authorities
[C]They just stand around and [G]boast
How they blackmailed the
sergeant- at- [C]arms
Into leaving his [G]post
And picking up [C]An gel
Who just arrived here from
[G]the coast
Who looked so [D]fine at first
And [C]left looking just [D]like a [G]ghost

[Interlude 2]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 6]
Well, I [G]started out on burgundy
But [C]soon hit the harder [G]stuff
Everybody said they'd
stand be[C]side me
When the game got [G]rough
Well, you know, [C]the joke was on me
There was nobody even there [G]to bluff
I'm going [D]back to New York City
I [C]do believe I've [D]had enough

[Outro 1]
[G][C][G]
