Key:
D A7 Oh citizen hear me sing as im sitting here in the dust
A7 D It's the wrong time for music but I feel like I must
D G Em7 I'm filled up with sadness, I'm in a dirty mood
G D A7 D Tomorrow it might be better but it'll never be good
G D A7 D Tomorrow it might be better but it'll never be good [Verse]
D A7 If I call my sweet honey, shell surely give me all the news
A7 D And we'll handle love business, hell it gives me the blues
D G Em7 I don't think I can make it, but maybe I should
G D A7 D After all, I might feel better though I never feel good
Continues after the ad
G D A7 D After all, I might feel better though I never feel good [Verse]
D A7 So long pretty baby if I see you no more
A7 D I might drop you some letter from a far away shore
D G Em7 Don't you cry then, sweet baby, you were doing real fine
G D A7 D Though your coffee might have been bitter but your love was like wine
G D A7 D Your coffee might have been bitter but your love was like wine [Verse]
D A7 Sometimes I get a headache or my stomach is ill
A7 D Man, I go to the doctor and he gives me a pill
D G Em7 But if radio-active ashes fall down from the sky
G D A7 D Boy, you'll never get any better, you'll be dead by and by
G D A7 D You'll never get any better, you'll be dead by and by [Verse]
D A7 Lord, I don't understand, it is a sin and a shame
A7 D I don't know what keeps people fighting, I don't know who to blame
D G Em7 I'm just sittin' in the dust and I don't see the light
G D A7 D I don't think it'll be better, still maybe it might
G D A7 D I don't think it'll be better, still maybe it might
