Frenchtown

Am

[Verse 1]
                       C     D    
Sad song of Frenchtown, harmony 
  Am     C  D
and rhyme
Am                          C    
Blind man walks the street, 
       D           Am
silver cane beating out time
C              D  Em       F    
Saxophone plays a haunting tune
   E  D

                 E         Am     
Magnolia blossom, heavy perfume
C  D  Am


[Verse 2]
                        C        D
He stands by the window, looking 
          Am       C  D
out at the street
  Am                     C        
A dark-skinned lady lies in his 
   D               Am
bed, restless in the heat
    C                  D    Em   
She smiles in her sleep and 
   F       E  D
quietly sighs
                      E            
Hanging on to promises and lovers' 
    Am    C  D  Am     F
lies

[Chorus]

                         D      
Two old lovers trying to make it 
        Em
again
                         F       
Just like it used to be, way back 
       D
when
                             Em
Somehow he loved her, but it all 
went wrong
          F               G   
They just ran out of time, they 
                     Am     C
couldn't wait that long
              D         Am
They couldn't wait that long

[Verse 3]
   Am                   C    D   
He turns from the window and 
        Am       C  D
watches her sleep
Am                 C     D       
Same loving feeling, old love 
  Am
runs deep
    C                  D           
The shadows are fading, the sun is 
Em          F       E
starting to rise
   D              E               
He lies beside her and kisses her 
Am    C  D  Am     F
eyes

[Chorus]
                         D      
Two old lovers trying to make it 
        Em
again
                         F       
Just like it used to be, way back 
       D
when
                             Em
Somehow he loved her, but it all 
went wrong
          F               G   
They just ran out of time, they 
                     Am    C  D  
couldn't wait that long
Am     C  D  Am
