Maybe some rich fool will come my way

And throw me a dime
F#7                   A7
That's all I need to give me more wine

All I got is to my names
Beat up guitar with three broken strings

This part of the alley is my home

Walking all over outside my wall
                  A                  B7
Boy you sure got a whole lotta gall
I had a sandwich in a paper bag
But a rat stole it
Ain't that some drag?
