Start Jamming...
This next song has always been a real special song to me,
and it just seems the appropriate song to do
here in this corner and here in this club
in this wonderful place on one fair summer evening.
[A]
[E] Well, it's a southern [A] low
[B] West of New Orleans
[A] And I'm a-fightin' all for gold
[B] From these winter rounds
[A] Houstown
[E] Just around [A] the corner
Hey, I think I'll stop off here in Lafayette, Lord
And have me another round
Yes, I've [E] been workin' in [F#m] corners
All [E] alone at night
Pullin' down whiskey, [F#] keepin' my eyes away [A] from the lights
I'll [F#] never be a fool, but I will gamble [E]
[B] foolishly
Oh, I [C#m] never let go of [F#] love till I lost it in my [A]
dreams
[B] [A] And I'm stronger now
[E] There was a man in my hometown
[A] He sang so pretty, I'm glad he turned my head around
But I've forgotten now
The play I won the night stand
Lord, I didn't have a word to say
Just holdin' his dangerous hand
Yes, I've been workin' in corners
All alone [E] at night
Pullin' down whiskey, keepin' my eyes away from the lights
I'll never be a fool, [A] but I will gamble [E] foolishly
[B] Oh, [C#m] I never let go of [F#] love till I lost it [A] in my dreams
Don't wanna go to sleep, it's just my dream
[E] In these city streets at five in the morning
I would've stopped to phone you, but I'm almost home
At my back door, there's a porch light that's shining
Hey, I just don't mind livin' here by myself if I leave [E] it on
Yes, I've been workin' in corners all alone at night
[F#] Pullin' down whiskey, keepin' my eyes away [E] from the lights
I'll never be a fool, but [F#m] I will gamble foolishly
Oh, I never let [F#] go of love till I lost it in [A] my [E] dreams
I don't wanna [A] go to sleep, it's just my dream
I don't wanna go to sleep, cause I sure can dream
You know I sure [B] can dream
[A] And I sure can [B] dream
[A] You know I sure can [B] dream
