Chords for Purple Avenue ~ Holly Cole Trio

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ slow [Bm]
down _ _ [Am] purple avenues [D] to _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _
march [Em] around in April's [D]
shoes.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ Weather vanes [G] remind _ _ _ _ of [Bm] the summer times [Eb] that [A] I've left [G] _ [C] behind.
_ [Eb] _ _
[D] _ _ [G] _ _ The [Em] money's gone, _ _ [A] the [D] road _ _ _
[A] _ [G] langsine.
_ _ [Em] I spent on [E] Eastern Standard Time. _
_ [Am] Whatever happened to [C] my roll?
_ [Am] September fell [G] right through the [C] hole.
_ [Am] All I've got [G] is [Eb] empty _ _ [Am] pockets now.
_ [Bb] _ _
[D] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] Why [Em] does _ [Am] August _ try [C] so hard [G] to _ [Bm] _ _ [Em] hoist me on [Db] my own petard?
[C] _ _
[B] _ _ [Am] _ I've [D] learned one thing _ [G] from how we [Bm] were.
[E] That an ounce [B] _ [D] of _ prevention's [Am] worth a pound of cure.
[Ebm] _ _
[Fm] _ _ [G] _ The [E] shadows [Em] fall, but [Am] I _ [C] cannot thread _ [G] _ the _ [Em] tenor of the [Db] things you said.
_ _ [E] _
All [Am] that's left is flesh [C] and bone.
_ _ The [Am] lights are on, but [G] no [C] one's home.
_ _ _ [Am] All I've got [G] is empty [Eb] _ _ _
pockets _ [Gbm] _ [Db] now.
_ _ [Bbm]
I spill myself _ [Db] another drink. _
_ [D] _ _ [Fm] I count the [Bb]
silver _ [Gm] _ in _ [Bb] the sink.
[Ebm] The _ _ [Ab] orchestra _ _ [Db] is [F] blind.
_ _ [Ab] _
But [Bbm] I've never been [Eb] the worrying [Ebm] _ _ kind.
_ [Db] _ _
_ _ _ Subsequently _ [Db] and [Gb] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ebm] furthermore, _ _ I'll sleep right [Bbm] here on [Bb] the _ [Fm] draining.
_ [Bb] _ _ _
I'll _ [Ebm] never [Db] _ be paroled.
_ _ _ I like to drink them while they're [Gb] _ cold.
_ All _ [Ebm] I've got [F] is [A] empty _ _ _ _ [Db] pockets _ [Ab] now.
