_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
He was sitting in the [A] lounge of the Empire Hotel.
He was drinking for [C] diversion, he was thinking for himself.
A little money riding on the maple leaves.
_ Along comes a lady in lacy sleeves.
[F] She says, let me sit down, you know, bring me no [C] lonesome shame.
The shame is a crime, shame.
[D] [G] Oh, God, _ [F] _ _ _
[C] don't be mean. _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ You got love to cash. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

[F] pretty good cook, sitting on my [C] grocery.
_ _ _ _ _ In [G] _ my kitchen [F] I'll show you my [C] nasty _ _ _ _ fear.
[F] I try and _ I can't save the sin.
_ I'm a midnight cook, crying to make my rent.

[F] We had a little money once, it was a push _ _
[C] _ away.
_ _ _ If I ever [G] _ _ _ [F] had it, I should have seen it fly.
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ First [F] we bought a 57th, it's gaining more than vintage.
He drinks up all the rest, that son of a bitch. _
[Bb] He's got bad [G] whiskey, I was raised on [C] robbery. _ _ _ _ _ _

[F] You know you ain't bad, love you, I like _ _ your dreams. _ _ _
[G] Come home with me, honey, [F] I ain't asking for no [C] fooling me. _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ Hey, where you _ going, go ahead, go buy a CD with me that we just met.
[Bb] Don't mean when you know [G] that I was raised on [C] _ _ robbery. _ _ _ _
