[B]
[E] [B] I'll see myself in the sea until winter is gone
Then [Gb] when wintertime [B] is gone [Gb] I might come [B] back home
Now I get up every morning and I walk up to Thurden View
Now [E] I get up every morning [B] and [E] I walk up to [B] Thurden View
And I'm just sitting there and I'm wondering [Gb] Lord just how to [B] make a meal
Now [E] the people's in me
[B] they are walking the [B] streets up and down
Now [Bb] the people's in me they [E] are walking the streets [B] up and down
And you know the time is hard people are starving all over town
Now I once have been alone [E] baby back in [B] my young days
Now [E] I once have [B] been alone [E] baby back in [B] my young days
When my baby was so mean she done drove all my love away
Now I [E] got a girl in [Bb] Brown
[B] she lives down on Bulletin [B] Lane
Now
[Bb] I [E] got a [Bb] girl in Brown [B]
she lives down on Bulletin Lane
But
[Ab] my [B] gal was so mean I'm scared to call her name
[E]
