    Cadd9x32030
I Gwandered through the Dnaked streets
My Gmind on fire with C9midnight heat
As Glady night was Cbrushing
The Ammist out of her Dhair
And I Gheard a sound of Dlightning strikes
AGbove the holy Ccity lights
And a Gdrunken CsereDnade in the Grain
With Gwhiskey swimming Din my brain
I Gturned to meet the C9cracked refrain
And Gheard one ragged Cstraggler wheeze
His Amanthems to the wDind
Singing "GThough my life is Dpassing by"
"I Glift my spirits Cto the sky"
In a Gdrunken CsereDnade in the AmrainD  
DAaaaaaaaaaaaah
DComing down again
I Gasked a man of Dmany roads
Of Gwhere he'd been, of C9what he knows
He said "I Gtook a ride to Cparadise"
"But Amended up in Dhell"
But Gneither whiskey Dnor belief
Can Gever bring your C9soul relief
Like a Gdrunken CsereDnade in the Grain
And Gso I'll speak my Dtruth aloud
I'll Gsing it clear, and I'll C9sing it proud
Cos Gin my darkest Chours of doubt
These Amsongs have carried Dme
And Gjust as sure as DI am born
I'll Gsing my heart out C9in the storm
With a Gdrunken CsereDnade
GDrunken sCerenDade
GDrun-ken CsereDnade
In the Grain

G D

I wandered through the naked streets

G C9

My mind on fire with midnight heat

G C

As lady night was brushing

Am D

The mist out of her hair

G D

And I heard a sound of lightning strikes

G C

Above the holy city lights

G C D G

And a drunken serenade in the rain

G D

With whiskey swimming in my brain

G C9

I turned to meet the cracked refrain

G C

And heard one ragged straggler wheeze

Am D

His anthems to the wind

G D

Singing "Though my life is passing by"

G C

"I lift my spirits to the sky"

G C D Am D

In a drunken serenade in the rain

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah

Coming down again

G D

I asked a man of many roads

G C9

Of where he'd been, of what he knows

G C

He said "I took a ride to paradise"

Am D

"But ended up in hell"

G D

But neither whiskey nor belief

G C9

Can ever bring your soul relief

G C D G

Like a drunken serenade in the rain

G D

And so I'll speak my truth aloud

G C9

I'll sing it clear, and I'll sing it proud

G C

Cos in my darkest hours of doubt

Am D

These songs have carried me

G D

And just as sure as I am born

G C9

I'll sing my heart out in the storm

G C D

With a drunken serenade

G C D

Drunken serenade

G C D

Drun-ken serenade

In the rain
