E
A
The lights go out each evening at eleven
E
A
And up and down our block there's not a sound
E
A
I close my eyes and search for peaceful slumber
D
E
A
And just then the local mem'ry comes around
D
A
Piles of blues against the door to make sure sleep will come no more
A
E
He's the hardest working mem'ry in this town
D
A
Turns out happiness againand then lets loneliness back in
D
E
A
And each night the local mem'ry comes around
E
A
Each day I say tonight I may escape her
E
A
I pretend I'm happy and never even a frown
E
A
But at night I close my eyes and pray sleep finds me
D
E
A
But again the local mem'ry comes around
Rids the house of all good news then sets out my crying shoes
