_ _ _ _ [G] Beneath the bare light [E] of a bush, she gazed [Am] into the eyes [E] of love.
_ [G] Bathed in the dirty [E] neon light, she [C] begged him don't [E] go out tonight.
_ _ If [A] we work out somehow, [G] maybe, we [D] can find a way out, baby.
And he laughed and said, [E] I've got to go.
_ _ And she cried, love. _ _ _ _

His [G] arms were warm and [E] strong and young.
I [Am] promised I won't hurt [E] no one. _ _
Oh [G] baby, when you gonna [E] learn, them [Am] folks uptown got [E] bread to burn. _ _
When they see [A] me [D] flash my [G] knife, they'll be [D] fearing for [A] me.
They will give [G] me [D] trouble [E] inside, love.
_ _ _ And she cried, love. _ _

_ The [G] night passed like a [E] thousand years.
[Am] The gentleman roommate [E] pulled the tears.
_ Then [G] came the knock [Em] upon the door, two [Am] men she'd never [E] seen before. _
_ Did [A] you know Johnny [G] Brown, miss?
We [D] hate to tell you [A] this, but [G] ask me a [E] relative you know. _ _
And she cried. _ _
