Lee Hazlewood - Houston - 1966 chords
Start Jamming...
Well, it's lonesome [G] in this big town
[E] Everybody puts me [D] down
I'm a face without a name
I'm just a-walkin' in the rain
I'm goin' back to [A] Houston
[E] Houston, [A] Houston
[Em] I [A] got holes in both of [D] my shoes
[G] [A] And I'm a-walkin' case of [D] the blues
[A] I saw a dollar [D] yesterday
[G] [A] But the wind blew it [Ab] away
I'm goin' [Bb] back [A] to Houston [E] Houston, [A] Houston
[E] I [A] haven't eaten in about [D] a week
[A] And I'm so hungry when I walk [D] I squeak
[Bm] [A] Nobody calls me [D] friend
[A] It's sad that she found [Ab] me
And I'm [Bm] goin' back [A] to Houston [E] Houston, [A] Houston
[E] I [A]
[D] [A]
[D] [A]
[D] [A]
[D] [A]
[E] [A]
[E] [Ab] [A] got a girl waitin' there for [D] me
[A] At least she said [D] she'd be
[A] I got a home and a big [D] warm bed
[A] And a feather pillow for my head
And I'm goin' back to Houston [E] Houston, [A] Houston
[E]
I [A] take the bus or take an old freight [D] train
[A] I'm a-ride or walk, it's all the same
I'm goin' back where they know my [Am] face
And [A] I'm never gonna leave that [Am] place
I'm goin' back [A] to Houston [E] Houston, [A] Houston
[E] [A] Well, it's [Bm] lonesome in this big town
And [A] everybody [Ab] puts me down
I'm a face without a name
[A] [B]
