    G               Am            
The rain was coming down one day 
     C                  G
and I thought I'd take a drive
G                      Am        
Out to the place round where we 
       C    Cadd9  C  Csus  C
used to live
         G                  Am    
But that town packed up ten years 
        C                    
ago and moved to where things 
 G
weren't so slow
    G                     Am  
And tried to learn not to speak 
        C    Cadd9  C  Csus  C
derogative
          G                      
I went to school where they asked 
       Am                C        
where I was from as the handed me 
     G
two quarts of rum
         G                   Am   
And they said that there's a party
      C      Cadd9  C  Csus  C
 over there
                    G              
They said you gotta show your face 
        Am                C       
so they know you came and maybe if
                        G
 you?re lucky they'll remember your 
name

      G                  Am    
And I thought to myself, I don't 
         C     Cadd9  C  Csus  C
really care
D          G
Esmerelda, hold me tight
     D               C
This lonely bed just ain't quite 
right
       D                           
Let me tell you that I love you 
  G        D    C
just for your information
D                    G
Esmerelda, give your love to me
    D                   C
You are the keyhole and I'm the key
      D                 G         
Let's pack our bags and go to the 
D       C
filling station
              F          C        
We can take a ride to forever or 
          G    C   G   C
at least today
 I was working on the spinning wheel
 tryin? to make myself a name
But I was never really good at being
 told what to do
Six days weeks and twenty hour days 
will drive a man insane
And the sad thing is that I did it 
all for you
And even though our love was strong,
 we both knew there was something 
wrong
When I caught you in bed with my 
bestest friend
Yeah, I was mad and I wanted to 
shout, but I got smart and I walked 
right out
When you asked me if I wanted to 
join in

Chorus

Mandolin solo

You tried to kill me yesterday, but 
the hitman moved to Tampa Bay
Guess it's hard to keep a job when 
you're selling sin
Come on baby, put down the knife, 
cause I'd kinda like to live my life
Not wondering when you're gonna 
strike again

Chorus
