[Intro 1]
[D][C][G][D][C][G]

[Verse 1]
When you're [G]lost in the rain
in [C]Juarez and it's Easter [G]time too
And your gravity fails and negat
[C]ivity won't pull you [G]through
Don't [C]put on any airs when you're
down on Rue Morgue [G]Avenue
They got [D]some hungry women there
And they'll [Dsus4]really make
[D]a mess out [G]of you

[Verse 2]
Well, if [G]you see Saint Annie
[C]please tell her thanks [G]a lot[C][G]
I cannot move and my fin
[C]gers they are all in a [G]knot
I [C]don't have the strength to get
up and take another [G]shot
And my [D]be st friend the doctor won't
even [Dsus4]say what it is I [G]got

[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 [C]you're so kind and careful
not to go to her too [G]soon
And [D]she takes your voice and she leaves you

[Interlude 1]
howling at the moon
[G][D][C][G][C][G][D][C]
[G]

[Verse 4]
Well, up on [G]housing project hill
[C]It's either fortune or [G]fame[D][G]
You must pick one or the other
Though [C]neither of them are
to be what they [G]claim

[Verse 5]
And if you're [C]looking to get silly
You better go back to from
where you [G]came
Because [D]the cops don't need you
And man they expect [G]the same
[D][G]

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

[Verse 6]
Now [G]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]Angel who just arrived
here from the [G]coast[D][G]
Who looked [D]so fine at first and she
left looking just like a ghost
[G]

[Verse 7]
Well, I started out on burgundy [C]but soon
hit the harder [G]stuff
Everybody said they'd stand beside
[C]me when the game got rou[G]gh
But [C]the joke was on me there was
nobody even there [G]to bluff
I'm going [D]back to New York City, I do believe I've had enough
