Judy Collins - Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
CAPO: 4th Fret
{Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
When you're lost in the rain, in JuaCrez, and it's Easter time Gtoo
When your gravity fails, and negaCtivity don't pull you Gthrough
Don't Cput on any airs when you're down on Rue Morgue AveGnue
They got some Dhungry women there and they Creally make a mess out of Gyou
[Verse 2]
If you see Saint Annie, Cplease tell her thanks a Glot
I cannot move my Cfingers, they are all in a Gknot
I  haven't Cgot the strength to get up and take another Gshot
And my Dbest friend, the doctor, won't Ceven say what it is I've Ggot
[Verse 3]
Sweet Melinda, the Cpeasants call her the goddess of Ggloom
She speaks good English, and she inCvites you up into her Groom
And you're Cso kind and careful not to go to her too Gsoon
And she Dtakes your voice, and Cleaves you howling at the Gmoon
[Verse 4]
Up on housing project hill, Cit's either fortune or Gfame
You can pick one or the other
Though Cneither of them ought to be what they Gclaim
And if you're Clooking to get silly, you better go back to from where you Gcame
'Cause the Dcops don't need you, and Cman, they expect the Gsame
[Verse 5]
Now all the authorities, Cthey just stand around and Gboast
How they blackmailed the sergeant at Carms into leaving his Gpost
And picking up CAngel, who just arrived here from the Gcoast
Who looked so Dfine at first, but Cleft looking just like a Gghost
[Verse 6]
I started out on burgundy, but Csoon hit the harder Gstuff
Everybody said they'd stand beChind me when the game got Grough
But the Cjoke was one me, there was nobody there to even Gbluff
I'm going Dback to New York City, I Cdo believe I've had eGnough

Judy Collins - Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues

CAPO: 4th Fret

{Intro]

[Verse 1]

C G

When you're lost in the rain, in Juarez, and it's Easter time too

C G

When your gravity fails, and negativity don't pull you through

C G

Don't put on any airs when you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue

D C G

They got some hungry women there and they really make a mess out of you

[Verse 2]

C G

If you see Saint Annie, please tell her thanks a lot

C G

I cannot move my fingers, they are all in a knot

C G

I haven't got the strength to get up and take another shot

D C G

And my best friend, the doctor, won't even say what it is I've got

[Verse 3]

C G

Sweet Melinda, the peasants call her the goddess of gloom

C G

She speaks good English, and she invites you up into her room

C G

And you're so kind and careful not to go to her too soon

D C G

And she takes your voice, and leaves you howling at the moon

[Verse 4]

C G

Up on housing project hill, it's either fortune or fame

You can pick one or the other

C G

Though neither of them ought to be what they claim

C G

And if you're looking to get silly, you better go back to from where you came

D C G

'Cause the cops don't need you, and man, they expect the same

[Verse 5]

C G

Now all the authorities, they just stand around and boast

C G

How they blackmailed the sergeant at arms into leaving his post

C G

And picking up Angel, who just arrived here from the coast

D C G

Who looked so fine at first, but left looking just like a ghost

[Verse 6]

C G

I started out on burgundy, but soon hit the harder stuff

C G

Everybody said they'd stand behind me when the game got rough

C G

But the joke was one me, there was nobody there to even bluff

D C G

I'm going back to New York City, I do believe I've had enough
