Just Like Tom Thumbs Blues

G

[Verse 1]
When you're lost in the rain, in 
   C                         G
Juarez, and it's Easter time too
When your gravity fails, and 
    C                     G
negativity don't pull you through
      C                          
Don't put on any airs when you're 
                       G
down on Rue Morgue Avenue
              D                    
They got some hungry women there 
       C                         G
and they really make a mess out of 
you


[Verse 2]
                        C          
If you see Saint Annie, please tell
              G
 her thanks a lot
                 C                 
I cannot move my fingers, they are 
         G
all in a knot
           C                       
I  haven't got the strength to get 
                    G
up and take another shot
       D                       
And my best friend, the doctor, 
       C                        G
won't even say what it is I've got

[Verse 3]
                   C               
Sweet Melinda, the peasants call 
                 G
her the goddess of gloom
She speaks good English, and she 
  C                     G
invites you up into her room
           C                       
And you're so kind and careful not 
                 G
to go to her too soon
        D                     C   
And she takes your voice, and 
                      G
leaves you howling at the moon


[Verse 4]
                           C    
Up on housing project hill, it's 
                   G
either fortune or fame

You can pick one or the other
       C                           
Though neither of them ought to be 
          G
what they claim
              C                    
And if you're looking to get silly,
 you better go back to from where 
    G
you came
           D                       
'Cause the cops don't need you, and
 C                    G
 man, they expect the same


[Verse 5]
                         C         
Now all the authorities, they just 
                 G
stand around and boast
How they blackmailed the sergeant at
 C                     G
 arms into leaving his post
               C              
And picking up Angel, who just 
                       G
arrived here from the coast
              D                 
Who looked so fine at first, but 
 C                        G
left looking just like a ghost


[Verse 6]
                               C   
I started out on burgundy, but soon
                G
 hit the harder stuff
                              C    
Everybody said they'd stand behind 
                     G
me when the game got rough
        C                          
But the joke was one me, there was 
                     G
nobody there to even bluff
          D                        
I'm going back to New York City, I 
C                    G
do believe I've had enough
