There??s some quick changes I don??t have 100% down but
this is pretty darn close!!...Larry
Capo 4 (to play along with recording)
DA
I'm a hard luck man with a bad luck story
G
On an out-of-luck Friday, got nowhere to be
DA
The interstate flying, got my last buck and smiling
G
I don't give a f**k who's buying 'cause you're coming with me
BmA
So baby take me anywhere, we can go downtown
DG
In your leopard underwear, loud and with the top down
BmADG
Two in the morning and we're burning up the 503, hey, hey, hey
BmD
And maybe I just want a little running around
GA
Maybe I done lost what I thought I found
DAGm
But maybe that's just me
DA
'Cause I'm a hard luck man, with a bad luck story
G
And the night gets so thick, it's so hard to see
DA
My heart's still groaning, spent my last buck this morning
G
But I stay awake knowing you're the one for me
BmA
So baby don't you leave me 'cause I think I'd die
DG
Sun's out bleeding all across the sky
BmA
I'm sitting all alone in our empty room
DG
Feel your manner, hear your voice, smell your cheap perfume
DA
Baby I don't love you, baby I don't love you but
G
Baby I could take you down with me
DA
Baby I'm crying, baby I'm dying
GD
I'm on my knees honey can't you see, yeah
Bridge:
BmA
Got my collar turned up, 'cause the night gets cold
DG
A little shake in my voice, praying it's gonna hold,
BmAD
Look me dead in the eyes and tell me this ain't how it's gonna be
BmA
Baby maybe do you think it'd be alright if I stayed tonight
GA
Maybe we could work it out if you turn out the light
DAGm
But maybe that just can't be, yeah
DA
'Cause I'm a hard luck man, with a bad luck story
G
And a tired-out heart, too damn broke to see
DA
Got half the tapes from Dixieland and still no sense of glory
G
I think that there's a sign there ain't no hope for me but
DA
Baby how I love you, baby how I love
G
Won??t you hold on tight, go up in flames with me baby
DA
Together we??ll be crying til the day we're dying
G
Won't you take my hand and come and cry with me
DA
I'm just a hard luck man on a twelve month stand
G
Now you ask me who I am - And that s**t ain't free
