[Dm] _ _ [Gm] I was _ _ _ _ _ _ _ in bad need of a shave, [Cm] and I slopped at the corner.
Or in a cool, chill bath.
[Gm] I shot billiards with a midget until the rain stopped.
[D] _ _ I bought a [Cm] long sleeved shirt [D] with horseshoes.
[Gm] And some gum and a lighter and a knife.
[C] _
_ _ [Gm] _ And a new deck of cards with girls on [Dm] the back.
_ And I sat down and wrote a letter to my wife.
_ _ [Cm] I said, baby, _ [D] I'm so far [Gm] away from home. _ _ _
I [D] can't make it [Cm] by [D] myself.
_ [Gm] _ I just love you so.
_ _ _ And I was just pacing myself, trying to make it all last.
And squeezing all the life [Cm] out of a lousy two day pass.
I had a new old [Gm] one, a dark baseball for new tennis.
A single plus three.
_ [D] _ And I wondered how the [Cm] same moon outside [Gm] with its Chinatown fair
could look down on Illinois and find you there. _ _ _
[Dm] And I'm so far away from home. _
I'm [Cm] so [C] far away from [Cm] home. _
And I [Gm] miss my baby so. _ _
[Bb] _ [D] I just can't make it by [Cm] myself.
_ _ I just [Gm] love you so.
_ [D] Surely.
I just can't make it by [Gm] _ _

_ _ [Dm] _ _ I just [Cm] can't _
_ _ [Gm] make _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ [Gbm] _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ it by myself.
I just can't [Dm] _ _ [Cm] _ make _ _ it by [Gm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
myself.
