[Eb] Well I've been [Ab] hanging out [Eb] uptown, Lord, at a low down rate
Watching good [Ab] time Charlie [Eb] Frizz is a-driving me insane
Up on shady Charlotte Street, Lord, the green lights look red
I wish I was back [Ab] home on the farm, [Eb] Lord, in my feather bed
And I got [Ab] [Bb] myself a [Eb] rocking [Bb] chair to see if [Eb] I could lose
[Ab] These [Gm] thin [Cm]-thumbed, [Bb] hard [Ab]-timed [Eb] hell on True Street
[Ab] [Bb] [Eb]

[Eb] I found myself a pick of fruit, I read yesterday's news
I folded up [Ab] page twenty-one [Eb] and stuck it in my shoe
I gave me a nickel to the poor, my good turn for the day
I folded [Ab] up my old [Eb] billfold and threw it far away
And [Ab] I got myself [Eb] a rocking [Bb] chair to see [Eb] if I could [Ab] lose
These [G] thin [Cm]-thumbed, [Gm] hard [Ab]-timed hell [Bb] on True [Eb] Street

[Eb] Well I wish I had some guitar strings, old black diamond brim
I'd string up [Abm] this old [Eb] Martin box and [Bb] go [Eb] enjoy some beer
But I guess I'm [Ab] gonna stay [Eb] right here in the pick and sing a while
Try to make me a little change [Bb] and give [Eb] them folks a smile
And [Ab] I got [Bb] myself a rocking [Eb] [Bb] chair to see if [Eb] I could lose
[Ab] These [Gm] thin [Cm]-thumbed, [Bb] hard [Ab]-timed [Bb] hell on [Eb] True Street
