  					G                        C   
		Up all night I could not sleep   
		    G                        C   
		The whiskey that I drank was cheap   
		     G                          C                  D   
		With shakin' hands I wait and I lit up my last cigarette   
		         G                      C   
		Well the sun came the night had fled   
		    G                        C   
		And sleepy-eyed I reached my bed   
		  G                      C                     G     C  G   
		I saw you sleepy dreamin there all covered and warm   
   
		C                   Bm   
		South city midnight lady   
		    Bb              C   
		I'm much obliged indeed   
		    C                    Bm        Am          G    C  G   
		You sure have saved this man who's soul was in need   
		C                      Bm   
		I thought there was no reason   
		    Bb                 C   
		For all these things I do   
		        C                 Bm     Am                      G      
		But the smile that I sent out returned with you   
   
		G                             C   
		When day has left the night behind   
		    G                      C   
		And shadows roll across my mind   
		  G                      C                        D   
		I sometimes find myself alone and out walking the street   
		        G                         C   
		Yes and when I'm feelin' down and blue   
		     G                    C   
		Then all I do is think of you   
		    G                       C            G    C  G   
		And all my foolish problems seem to fade away
