I've been hanging out of town, low in the land, low down rain.
[C] Watching [Bb] good times, Charlie [C] French is driving [Dm] me [Am] insane.
[G] Up on [Bb] shady Charleston street, boy the green lights look red.
I wish [D] I was back home on the farm, [C] going to my [Bb] 17.

[Dm] [C] [Bb]
[C] [F] I found [Bb] myself a paper friend up in [F] yesterday's news.
I [Bb] folded up page 21 and [C] stuck it [Dm] in my shoes.
[C] Gave me a [Bb] nickel to the poor, I could [F] turn for the day.
I folded [Dm] up my old billfold [C] and threw it [Bb] far away.
And I got [C] myself a rocking chair to see if [Cm] I could [Bb] lose these [A] dim [Dm] dime.
A [C] part time, headlong [F] church street blues.

I wish I [Bb] had some guitar strings and a black diamond brand.
[F] I'd [Bb] string up this Martin box and I'd go and join [Dm] some [C] band.
But I guess I'll [Bb] just stay right here and sing a while.
Try to [Dm] earn me a little [C] change and give them [Bb] folks a smile.
And [F] I got [Bb] [C] myself [Dm] a rocking [C] chair to see if I [Eb] could [Gm] lose these [Dm] dim dime.
[C] A part time, [F] and I got [Bb] myself a rocking [C] chair to see [Cm] if I could lose [Bb] these [Am] dim dime.
[C] A part time, headlong church street [F] blues.
