_ [Em] _ _ [A] He [E] _ _
[Am] walked across [E] the road
[A] _ [E] _ [A] In [D] a [E] neon light
[A] _ [Em] _ _ _
dark pear shades _ _
[E] Blocking out the night
[A] _ _ [Bm] _ [Bb]
[E] smoke rings blowing
[F] _ [E] _ [D] white [Em] owl panatella
There _ _ wasn't a thing
[A] _ [E] That [Bb]
[G] man [Em] couldn't tell you
[A] _ [E] He _
[Em] _ [B] kept a 45 in a crown royal [A] bag wiped the fingerprints off
Handed me the rag.

_ never going back to Memphis _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ Little while later
[A] _ [D] _ [E] _ _
Sirens [Em] started screaming
[A] _ It _ [E] felt like a [Em] nightmare
_ [A] _ But you [E] know, I wasn't dreaming
_ [A] _ [E] [B] cops _ [Em] _
walked in
_ _ _ [G] dog pulling [E] on a chain
[D] _ [E] _ _ [D] Looking [Em] for a woman
[A] _ [E] _ [G] running [Em] from the rain
They _ _ [B] _

Eating fried chicken [A] while I shivered in a shed out behind the kitchen.

[D] _ [E] _ [A] _ [G] Skies [E] getting darker
[A] _ [Dm] [Em] My _ mind keeps playing
[A] _ [E] some [Bb] _ [G] old [Em] junior park
_ [A] [Em] three _ _ days waiting
[A] _ [Em] _ All [E] alone by the tracks
[A] _ _ _ [Em] lying to _ [A] myself
_ [E] _ [D] That [E] man's coming back _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [B] He said he'd come around unless he was dead.
