[Intro]

[Verse 1]
       G
On the park bench I slept on, raindrops are fallin' on
    Am                  D
The newspapers coverin' me
       C             G
I hear early mornin' motors
      C                 Am             D
And I know the world is wakin' for the dawn
       C
But my mind's down a dark alley
                               G         Em
Somewhere where last night you loved me
           C             G         C             G
And in the early morning chill, my arms remember still
        C               G      D               G
But I'm droppin' like a stone, lonesome to the bone
[Chorus]
    C                             G                Em
The sun is roughly risin', on the roofs of Stagger Town
    C                                D               G
The time for sweatin' poison out, is just now comin' round
     C           Am             G             C
That high flyin' last night, is over with and gone
G           D               G
Leavin' me, lonesome to the bone
[Break]

[Verse 2]
  G
I walked the way the wind blows, but any way the wind goes
Am                 D
Be good enough for me
   C                 G
My mind is like that traffic jam
      C                Am              D
And I walk between the cars, lost and alone
     C
Your hot breath and your laughter
                                 G       Em
Keep flashin' through my mind to warm me
        C              G         C              G
But the naked light of day, soon makes it fade away
        C           G     D               G
And I'm goin' down alone, lonesome to the bone
[Chorus]
    C                             G                Em
The sun is roughly risin', on the roofs of Stagger Town
    C                                D               G
The time for sweatin' poison out, is just now comin' round
     C                          G             C
That high flyin' last night, is over with and gone
G           D               G      G
Leavin' me, lonesome to the bone
