[Ab] [Fm] [Bb]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Fm] [Bb]
[Eb] I took a walk around [Ab] the yard
I dug the flowers till it got [Eb] too hot
I [Gm] smoked my first pack of cigarettes [Cm] today
While I watched the [Ab] dogs play
[Fm] Then I [Eb] went down, down to Lucy's old [Ab] cafe
I put a half a case [Eb] away
[Gm] I took a sleeping pill, [Cm] tried to watch TV
But you [Fm] know baby, the leading [Eb] lady looked too much like [Ab] you for the light to lead
And I woke [Eb] up crying [Gm] in my [Ab] sleep
I [Eb] was [Gm] talking [Cm] to your [Ab] pillow
And I [Cm] reached out [Gm] to touch your
[Ab] hand
I [Fm] knocked the phone off the [Cm] nightstand
[Gm] And the operator [Ab] said, [Db] may I help you please?
And I said, [Ab] no thanks [Eb] baby, tonight there ain't no [Ab] help [Fm] for me
See, I [Bb] just had a bad [Eb] dream
[Gm] That's all that's [Ab] wrong with me
See, I just had a bad [Eb] dream
[Fm] [Ab]
[Eb] Went out to loosen up the [Ab] car
Somehow I wound up at the [Eb] rainbow bar
I [Gm] had a scotch and [Cm] soda on the run
[Eb] But I didn't [Ab] get too far
Then I [Eb] ran down, down some friends I used [Fm] to know
I dragged them out to see the [Eb] show
[Bb] I read myself a bath and I [Cm] tried to read your book
But you know [Ab] baby, this time it [Eb] just didn't seem worth all [Ab] the time it took
And I [Fm] woke [Eb] up crying [Gm] in [Ab] my sleep
I [Eb] was talking [Gm] [Cm] to [Ab] your pillow
And I reached [Cm] out [Gm] to touch your [Ab] hand
I [Fm] knocked the phone off [Cm] the nightstand
[Gm] And the operator [Ab] said, [Db] may I help you please?
And I said, [F] [Fm] no thanks [Eb] baby, tonight there ain't no help for [Fm] me
See, I just had a bad [Eb] dream
And
[Ab] [Eb]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Bb]
[Ab] [Bb]
[Eb]
[Ab] [Eb] I woke up crying
[Gm]
[Ab] Crying [Bb] trying [Eb] to find you baby
[Ab] Crying [Bb]
[Eb] trying to find you baby
Crying [Ab] [Bb] trying [Eb] to find you baby
[Ab] [Bb] [Eb]
