LOS LOBOS "Short Side Of Nothing"
(David Hidalgo/Louie Perez)
[Intro]
Am G C
G F E7
Am G C
G F E7
[Verse 1]
Am G C
Dreams wash down the gutter
G F E7
All my hopes in vain
Am G C
Crows up on the rooftop
G F E7
Laughing out my name
[Chorus]
C F D/F# G
Here I am on the short side of nothing
C F D G C
Here I am on the short side of nothing
[Verse 2]
Am G C
We danced all night as life stood by
G F E7
We told another lie
Am G C
Found a spot down by the roadside
G F E7
There I closed my eyes
[Chorus]
C F D/F# G
Here I am on the short side of nothing
C F D/F# G C
Here I am on the short side of nothing
Am C
All alone, all alone
F D7 G
Can't find my way home
[Instrumental]
Am G C
G F E7
Am G C
G F E7
[Verse 3]
Am G C
Summer has come and the heat hangs low
G F E7
No escape in sight
Am G C
Sirens scream and lovers moan
G F E7
Just like any other night
[Chorus]
C F D/F# G
Here I am on the short side of nothing
C F D/F# G C
Here I am on the short side of nothing
Am C
All alone, all alone
F D7 G
Can't find my way home
[Outro]
Am G C
G F E7
