Oh my my, oh I guess
A7+ E A7+ E
That I've done my time, now I've laid to rest
A7+ E A7+ E
There?s a campfire inside my soul
A7+ E A7+
And it billows
C#m E A
And the sky was a thousand years old
C#m E A
Always kept time in my back pocket
C#m E A
No man, goddamn, came to take my soul
C#m E A
Shut the door, then lock it
A7+ E A7+ E
And where have all of my friends gone
A7+ E A7+ E
And where did all of my friends go
A7+ E A7+ E
And where have all of my friends gone
A7+ E A7+
They billow
C#m E A
Thought that I saw Jessi, she was sitting in a crowd
C#m E A
Thought that I saw Jessi, then I got to feeling proud
C#m E A
To ever have known someone so pretty and so sweet
C#m E A
Who every-time she sang a song it'd sweep me off me feet
A7+E
But oh my my, oh I guess
A7+ E A7+ E
That she did her time, now she's laid to rest
A7+ E A7+ E
There?s a campfire inside her soul
A7+ E A7+
Still billows

I walked to town, devil one side of me
E
Held by an angel put poems inside of me
A7+ E
Down to my mouth said won?t you recite to me, okay
A7+
Every first Wednesday there goes that sound again
E
Sun?s going down and she's a sundowner
A7+
Stay calm, stay calm, and give me your palm
E
Give me your palm, and I?ll sing you a song
A7+
Young kids smoke cigarettes out on the avenue
E
Sun?s going down so you might as well have a few
A7+
Hey who are you? Did you hear the news?
E
Anthony's dead, and Poor Richard too
A7+
They billow, they billow, and it makes me nervous
E
They whittled a fiddle from wood in our service
A7+
Now that it?s dusk, kids scatter the avenue
E
Hey who are you? I'm a sundowner too
