Introduction:
D
Im down at the bowery, oh Lord oh Lord
F#
Gonna tell you how I got here
D
First I gotta shoot some dice and win
F#
So I can get my room again
D
It all started with a love so true and the angels flew
F#
Higher than Ive ever been
D
With a sparkle in her face and her eyes and the butterflies
F#
It all came rushing in
Bm A D F#
Buttercup, I lost my wife in 73
Bm A D
She took ill, she done died on me
F#
And Ive nothing more to live for
D
So I packed up a bag and went
F#
I just started wandering
D
I hid in the booze and the shadows of the night
F#
I just started crumbling
Bm A D F#
Buttercup, I lost my wife in 73
Bm A D
She took ill, she done died on me
F#
And Ive nothing more to live for
D F#
Oh, it just dont seem fair...
D F#
I met her under a chandelier
D F#
And time and space changed from there
Bm A D F#
Buttercup, I lost my wife in 73
Bm A D F#
She took ill, she done died on me
Bm A D F#
Buttercup, I lost my wife in 73
Bm A D
She took ill, Lord she done died on me
F#
And Ive nothing more to live for
F#
And Ive nothing more to live for

And Ive nothing more to live for
