G7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .C7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . G7
Alone in the bedroom, four hours 'til the break of dawn
C7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .G7
Alone in the bedroom, four hours 'til dawn
D7 . . . . . . . . . . . C7 . . . . . . . . . G7
Rainy day coming, them sunny days are gone.

G7
He smiles, he lies, you shake the man's hand
G7
But he'll never tell you just where you stand
. . . . . . . . . . C7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . G7
Until it's too late, you've got nothing to choose
D7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .C7 . . . . . . . G7
Light's off in the kitchen, my Papa's got blues.

G7 . . . . . . . . C7 . . . . . . . . . . . . G7
Shut up, birds, don't sing me no coos
C7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . G7
Shut up, birds, I don't want to hear your coos
D7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . C7 . . . . . . . . . . . . G7
Light's off in the kitchen, my Papa's done got the blues.
