[Verse 1]
Fm              Ab  Eb  Fm
In a shabby bar
                Ab  Eb  Fm
Of a nowhere town
                     Ab  Eb  Fm
Her hair was black as tar
                     Ab  Eb  Fm
She was really lookin' down
                        Ab      Eb       Fm
I sat beside her and she needed a light
                            Ab       Eb          Fm
I wanted to give her more to make her feel alright
                       Ab                    Eb  Fm
And first she hesitated then she wanted to be paid
                         Ab           Eb
And last she told me, she ain't got it made

[Verse 2]
Fm            Ab  Eb  Fm
In a lonely park
              Ab        Eb  Fm
She was really lookin' sad
                       Ab  Eb  Fm
Her hair was black as tar
                    Ab                 Eb
And then she told me things are lookin' bad
