Tom: D
Introdução: G
E
I was runnin through the summer rain tryin to catch the evenin train
And kill that old familiar pain weavin through my tangled brain
D G
But when I tipped that bottle back I smacked into a cop I didn't see
E
That policeman said hey mister cool if you ain't drunk then you're a fool
I said if that's against the law then tell me why I never saw
D G
A man locked in that jail a yours who wasn't just as low down poor as me
Chorus 1
Am C
Well that was when someone turned out the lights
D G
And I wound up in jail to spend the night
C Am
And dream of all the wine and lonely girls
D G
In this best of all possible worlds
(Verses 3 and 4: chords same as first two verses)
F#
Well they finally came and told me they was gonna set me free
And I'd be leavin town if I knew what was good for me
E A
I said it's nice to learn that everybody's so concerned about my health
F#
I said I won't be leavin no more quicker than I can
'Cause I've enjoyed about as much of this as I can stand
E A
And I don't need this town of yours more than I never needed nothin else
Bm D
Because there's still a lot of drinks that I ain't drunk
E A
Lots of purty thoughts that I ain't thunk oh lord
D Bm
And there is still so many lonely girls
E A
In this best of all possible worlds
