I came in three days early
C/G
To meet my boat
G G9
It ain't the life of Riley
Em7 C/G
But it's keeping me afloat
G
It's quiet over Christmas
C/G
If you got no place to go
G G9
I got my home from river rats
Em7 C7M/G G G9 G
The only home I know
G
I found myself a flophouse
C/G
And I hit the streets at nine
G G9
Get some grub and drink a beer
Em7 C7M/G
Maybe go down the line
G
These chips will take your money
C/G
Shake a young man down
G G9
It's the same in every one of these
Em7 C/G
Sorry river towns

G G9
Well I picked me up a bottle
G C7M/G
To take back to the room
G G9
Then I saw a young girl standing
Em7 C/G
In a doorway in the gloom
G G9
We'd hardly started talking
G C/G
The old scenario
G G9
And I just let her work me over
Em7 C/G
Down by the Ohio
G G9

When I asked her if she'd like to stay
C/G
She was down my stairs so quick
G
I never asked what got her started
Em7 C/G
With the sorry river tricks
G G9
So I get the bottle open
G C/G
But something's hit a nerve
G G9
And I'm looking in the mirror
Em7 C7M/G
At the face that I deserve
