[A]
Oh man down, [E]
[Gm] [A] way
[Em] down, down by the docks of [A] the city, blind and dirty.
[Em] He asked me for a dime, a dime for a cup [A] of coffee.
[D] [E] I [Em] got no dime, [D] but I got some time to [A] hear his story.
The [G] [A]
[Bm] [A] name is August West, [Em] and I love my Billy Baker better than [D] [A] all my wives.
More than my wife,
[E] more than my [Em] maker, oh he's no [A] friend of mine.
Half of my life, I
[E] spend doing [Em] time with some [Bm]
other [A] buckers' clubs.
[Em] Got a half I spend [D] stumbling around drunk [A] on a blackened D wine.
[D] [A]
[G] Gotta [D] get back [G]
[D] on [A] the field [D] someday.
[G]
[D] [C] Good Lord, [G] Willie, [C]
[G] if this is [D] our day.
I know that the life [A]
I'm living's [Em] no good.
[A] I'll get a new start, live the life [Em] I should.
[E]
I'll get up, fly away.
I'll
[A] [E] get up, fly away.
I'll get up, fly away.
[A] Fly away.
[D] [A] Got off at Wander, [E] I wander downtown.
Nowhere to go, just [A] to hang around.
I got a girl named
[E] Molly Lee.
I know that girl's been [A] true to me.
I know she's been up [D] short, she's been [A] true to me.
I [E] know she's been [D] up short, she's been [A] true to me.
[G] [Ab]
[Em]
[A]
Girl,
[G] [A] [E]
[A]
[E] [A]
Molly's been true.
She's been true to me.
True to my time.
I
[Em] said, [Am] girl, she's [A] been true.
