Good looking body
_ _ _ [D] Close to _ mine
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [F#m] _
Hear the [D] whisper _ _ of the raindrops

Hope you enjoy it
[A] Ladies and gentlemen
[F#] _
We're [A] just going through the motions
[C#] _
[D] Of old parts we've learned to play _ _
[E] _ We're never quite together _ [A] like before
But [B] _ _ [F#m] _ _
[A] somehow, darling
_ Something good [D] got lost along the way _
[E] And our song ain't nothing special _
[A] anymore
_ _ _ [D] We ought to try just [A] one more time with me
And [D] darling, take it, take it from the top _
Let me [E] feel those tears of falling
I don't want to miss a one, a single [A] drop _
Darling, make believe
[A] You're making [C#] me [D] believe
These words you say
Try [E] it once more with feeling
And we'll call it [A] a day _
[D] Yes, we [E] will, darling
_ [A] _ I _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ was busted flat in Baton Rouge
I was waiting for a train
_ Feeling elevated as my [D] dream
_ [G] _ _
Bobby thought me to slow down
It was beginning to rain
_ Somewhere close to Jimilee
So I could go to [C] New Orleans
_ _ Well, I pulled my harpoon
Out of my dirty red bandana
I was blowing sad while Bobby [F] sang the blues
_ _ With them windshield wipers slapping time
[C] Bobby clapping hands
He finally [G] sang off
Every song that driver [C]
knew
Yeah, I'm telling you
[F] Freedom is just another _ _ clue
_ [G] Nothing ain't worth nothing
But it's [Am] free
_ [C] _ _
[F] Feeling good was easy, Lord
[C] _ _ _
_ _ [G] But it was good enough for me
_ _ _ _ Good enough for me and old Jerry Lee said
_ [C] _ _ _
Yeah, [G] Lord _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G#] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ Chris, this is one of the greatest songs you've ever written
_ [D] Nobody sang it any better, [G] huh? _
_ Just take [E] the ribbons from your [D] hair
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] Shake it loose, [G] lady, let it fall _ _ _ _
Lay it soft on [A] killer skin
_ [E] _ _
[A] _ _ Like the shadows [D] on the wall
_ _ _ Come and lay down by my _ side
Till _ the early [G] morning _ light _
_ _ All I'm taking [A] is your time
_ _ _ Help me make [D] it through the night
_ [G] _ _ _
I [E] don't care what's right or wrong _ _ _
_ _ Never tried to [D] _ _
_ understand
_ You'd let the devil take us to our [E] own
_ _ Right now, a killer needs [A] a friend _ _
_ _ _ Yesterday, [D] you didn't come _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Tomorrow's out of sight
Thank God for that, too
_ _ Anyway, son, [A] we ain't gonna be alone _
_ Why don't you help us make it through [D] the _ _ [G] night?
_ [D] _ _ _
