C F C X4
[Verse 1]
C F C
Runnin my mouth off at the storm
C F C
Yelling man, what the hell did you do that for?
F C
And I was watching the old men fish,
F C
And they'd all give their catch away
F C
And I could hear a woman singing
F C
And I could hear that piano play
C
It'd go like...
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
C F C
Where did you get your bad breath?
C F C
I want some, oh a drag of your cigarette
F C
And I was thinking about a song
F C
That I heard when I was young
F C
And I was wondering 'bout its trumpeteer
F C
How he could get those horns to talk
Something like..

Tears will gather in my eyes
C F C
Hold my head, and babe y'know I'll cry

C F C
Hey, it's night time and ya know,
C F C
Its getting cold so babe put on some clothes
F C
Oh lets go hit the town
F C
And we could fill a room up with smoke
F C
Yer know I got the first round
F C
As we tell all those stories told
F C
And I would pretend you were new
F C
Like I was just introduced to you
F C
And all the music in my ears
F C
Sounds beautiful down here
F C
And I could hear that drummer roll
F C
As I listened to that choir cry
F C
And I could hear that guitar weeping
F C
I could feel those pipers pipe
F C
And all the beauty I couldn't see
F C
Well it just cut me at my knees
F C
And I was watching the old men fish
F C
And they'd all give their catch away
F C
And I could hear a woman singing
F C
And I could hear that piano play
C F C
Tears will gather in my eye
C F C
Hold my head oh and babe you know I'll cry
Dm F C
Like a baby oh I held my head and cried
Dm F C
C'mon Dorothy oh ya know we could go all night
