[Verse 1]
A7 D7
All of my friends come to see me last night
A7 D7
I was layin' in my bed and dyin'
Em Bm A G F#m
Annie Bon-neau from St. An-gel,
Em D7 A7
Say the weather down here so fine.
[Verse 2]
A7 D7
Just then the wind came squallin' through the door,
A7 D7
But who can the weather command?
Em Bm A G F#m
Just want to have a little peace to die,
Em D7 A7
And a friend or two I love at hand.
[Verse 3]
A7 D7
Fever roll up to a hundred and five,
A7 D7
Roll on up, gonna roll back down
Em Bm A G F#m
One more day I find myself alive,
Em D7 D7
Tomorrow maybe go beneath the ground.
[Bridge]
C DEm
/
See here how everything lead up to this day,
Dm Am Em
And it's just like any other day that's ever been.
D G C Em Am
Sun comin' up and then the sun goin' down.
F C D
Shine through my window and my friends they come around,
Dm F A7
Come around, come around.
[Verse 5]
A7 D7
The people might know, but the people don't care,
A7 D7
That a man can be as poor as me.
Em Bm A G F#m
Take a look at poor Peter, he's ly-ing in pain,
Em D7
Now let's go run and see.
[Outro]
D7
Run and see
