G Bb/F C/E C#dim Edim Gdim A#dim, G B/F# Em Em/D C F G
[Spoken]
"You all pass me that bottle. I'll sing you a real song."
G C7 F F# G
Well I'm looking through Harlem, my stomach squeals just a little more.
G C/E F F# G
The stagecoach full of feathers and footprints rolls up to my soapbox door.
B/F# Em Em/D C
Now a lady with a pearl handled necktie tied to the driver's fence
G Bb/F C/E C#dim Edim Gdim A#dim*
breathes in my face bourbon and coke possessed words,
G B/F# Em Em/D C F G
"Haven't I seen you somewhere in hell, or was it just an accident?"
(play first two measures of intro and say)
"You know how I felt then"
[Chorus]
B/F# Em Em/D C
And sometimes it's not so easy 'specially when your only friend
G B/F# Em Em/D C F G
talks, sees, looks and feels like you. You do just the same as him.
(play intro and say)
"It gets very lonely out here in this room baby"
