Intro:


D       Am      G       D 
D       Am      G       D 

D                                                          Am 
I walked in here off the dirty mile 
G                           D 
swaggered in with a prison style 
D                        Am 
aching bones and dirty feet 
G                               D 
needing a bed and something to eat 
D                                 Am 
I played for you and I played it right 
G                                  D 
I sang in tune and I danced all night 
D                            Am 
I looked at you as the only one 
G                            D 
I didn't know it could come undone 
D    Am 
D    Am                G 
D    Am 
D    Am                G 

I hit the road when I was fifteen 
when my mother died and my dad got mean 
I've been locked up since twenty one 
I was my mothers only son 
forgotten most from the early days 
but I remember what she used to say 
little boy you're my pride and joy 
the only good thing about old Fitzroy 

D    Am 
D    Am                G 
D    Am 
D    Am                G 

D                                  Am 
I feel the walls are falling down around 
             D         Am        G 
it makes me lower that town somehow 
D                                           Am 
I've been drinking all the wrong things all night 
                                                                                          
                                                              .                          
D                        Am         G 
I've been thinking about what I've got to do to survive this life 

D       Am      G       D 
D       Am      G       D
