[Intro]

A C# Bm D7 E

[Verse 1]

Walking down the road

Headed to the show

The night is so young

D7 E

And the bottle is full

Line up in a row

We're shuffling in

The bar is too full

D7 E

So we wait out in the cold

The music is loud and the

Lighting is low

The women are shaking and

D7 E

Moving on the floor

The singer is yelling bout the

Women who left

And I'm in the back getting

D E

Drunk with my friends

[Chorus 1]

And this is

All I need

To get me through

Bm E

The city blues

And this is

Good for me

Give me a swig

Bm E

And let it be

[Solo]

A C# Bm D7 E

[Verse 5]

Way up here

You'll find me

Bm D7 E

It's 12 in the morning

I'm lifted off

Substance

Bm D7 E

We're chasing that taxi

You look so fine

You must know

Bm D7 E

You make me go crazy

Well I don't know

If it will last

Bm D7 E

But I'm gonna let you have me

[Chorus 2]

And this is

All I need

To get me through

Bm E

The city blues

And this is

Good for me

Give me a swig

Bm E

And let it be

And this is

All I need

To get me through

Bm E

The city blues

And this is

Good for me

Give me a swig

Bm E

And let it be
