[Primera Parte]

A
Rain started fallin' on the roof that
                E              B
Mornin', it was early summertime
          A
We fogged up the rear window of my '67
E                    B
Three-hundred, in-line
   A
My lungs have been hurtin' and it’s
                    E
Likely my liver has taken a lickin'
  B
Too
     A
Them Beale Street boys are handy with a
E                  B
Clap on four and two
    A
The thrill is gone so slow and easy
E                 B
Won't you love me tender?
    A                              E
The way you move’s a drug and I am on a
          B
Life-long bender
   A
So rest them tired eyes and let your
E                 B
Dress fall to the ground
          A                       E
We're the only onеs left who love Otis
        B
In this town

A
Cracked up skies tried on a couple lives
   E                 B
 To find the one that fit
A
Cold wind comin’ and the heat quit
                 E              B
Runnin', but you keep my candle lit
A
Pictures on the wall say it all with the
        E                       B
 Kind-a-conviction make a river burn
          A
You got a skeleton key on a chain around
                    E               B
 Your neck, I got a chain around my

Heart
A
Church bells ringing in the air down the
               E                    B
 Hill from the house where you were born
       A
I said baby don't you think we aught to
                         E
Live a little bit before Gabriel blows
   B
His horn
