Am G

Am F G

[Verse]

I just got back to town

And all these rumors did abound

About the dud hand fate had dealt

My brother who they found

Dead in the steam

Skin so cold and clean

F G Am

Well, who's the one who took my brother down?

So won't you take me on downtown?

Now on vengeance path I'm bound

Dredging every dirty hole

Til at last I found

G Am

The redlit green eyed girl from some nether world

F G Am

I said she's the one who took my brother down

[Chorus]

G Am

And she said no, no, no, no, no

Please don't, please don't

Try to make it right, not tonight

Not any other night

F G Am

Just the stones throw from a Lady of the night

[Middle]

Am G F

And all the songs he sung

Am G F E

And then he went

Am G F E

I know he went

Am G F E

[Verse]

So take me back downtown

To New Amsterdam I'm bound

Looking for the same girl I need to talk her round

G Am

To my way of thinking, and then we get to drinking

F G Am

Pretty soon we will see eye to eye

[Chorus]

G Am

Still she says no, no, no, no, no

Please don't, please don't

Try to make it right, not tonight

Not any other night

F G Am

She said I'm the one made him put his gun down

[Chorus]

And I said no, no, no, no, no

Please don't, please don't

Try to make it right

Said you're not mean enough

Can't dig the steam enough

F G Am

She said I'm the one made him put his gun down

F G Am

I'm the one made him put his gun down
