[Cm] I'm a busy [Bb] man, [G] can't stay long [Cm]
I got [Eb] orders to fill,
[Bb] clients to call
[Cm] Got
[F] a wall to [Eb] build, [G] rice to [Cm] quell They're giving [Ab] me [G] hell, [Cm]
[Eb] paying [Ab] little [Gm] sombers
They [C] got you [Cm] wrong It's [Ab] always a pity [Eb] for someone [G] pretty young
[Cm]
When [Ab] poverty calls, [Eb] lift [Bb] your wings, [Cm] I can [F] see it
[Eb] But are you [G] alone?
[C] Nobody's [G] singing your name
[Em] [Eb] [Gm] Strange is the call [Bb] of this strange [Eb] man I [Cm] wanna fly down [Db] and feel [Cm] that same
[Eb] I wanna [Gm] let soft [Bb] wings [G] do the talking
[Eb] I wanna [G] lie down [C] and pray [Cm]
to God
I [Gm] got [Cm] something for you It's [Ab] shining like a diamond [Bb] down in [G] the mine

[Eb] Suddenly, nothing [Bb] is as it [Eb] was Where [Cm] are you now?
[Db] Oh, [Cm] yes
[Eb] Wasn't it always [Bb] the two [G] of us?
[Cm] Weren't [G] we birds of [Cm] a feather?
Hey, [Ab] little somber, [Gm] let [Cm] me guess He's some kind of poet, [Bb] but he's [G] penniless
[C] [Eb] You give him your hand, he gives you his [F] hand from now
[Cm] It [Ab] writes you a poem [Eb] when the [G] power's out
[Cm] Why not fly [F] south [G] for the window?
[C] [Ab] Hey, little somber, [G] look [C] all around [Cm] you See how the vipers [Eb] and vultures [G] surround you
[Cm] They'll [Ab] take you [Eb] down, pick [Bb] you clean [C]
[Cm] If you [Ab] hang around, [Eb] it's a desperate scene
[G] [Cm]
[Ab] [G]
[Eb]
Orpheus, my heart is yours [D] Always was [F] and will be
It's my God I can't ignore [Ab] [G] Orpheus, I'm hungry
Oh, my heart, it aches to stay But the flesh will have its way
All the way, it's dark and long I'm already gone
I'm gone
[Eb]
Go ahead and lay the blame [Bb] Talk of [Cm] virtue, talk of [Bb] sin
Wouldn't you have done the same in [A] [G] her shoes?
You can have your principle
[G] When you've got a belly full
Hungry as you are There's no telling what you're [Cm] gonna do
[Fm] When the chips are [Eb] down Now [Dm] that the chips are down
[Cm] What you gonna do [Fm] when the chips are down [Cm] Now that the chips are [C] down
[G]
[Cm]
[D]
That [C] ain't easy I think [Eb] there
Girls gotta [Dm] fight for a life or stare [C] What you gonna do when the chips are [Eb] down
Now [Dm] that the chips are [Cm] down What you gonna [F] do when the chips are down
[Cm] Now that the chips are down
Help [F] yourself, hell with the [Eb] rest Give it to the [Gm] one who loves you [Cm] best
What you gonna [F] do when the chips are [Eb] down Now [Dm] that the chips are [C] down
What you gonna do when the chips are down Now that the chips are down
[Bb] That ain't [Eb] easy
[Dm] What [Cm] you gonna [F] do when the chips are down Now that [C] the chips are down
[D]
[Cm]
[Cm]
Take it to [C] the one who gives [Cm] it to us Ain't nobody [D] but yourself to [Cm] trust
What you gonna [C] do when the chips are [Cm] down Now [G] that the chips are [C] down
What you gonna do when the chips are down Now that the chips are down
[Cm] To the heart, keep to kill [Eb] If you don't do it [Dm] then the other one [Cm] will
What you gonna do when the chips are down Now [Dm] that the chips are down
[Cm] What you gonna do when the chips are down Now that the chips are down
And the first shall be first And the last [D] shall be [Cm] last
[Fm] Your eyes [Eb] to heaven [G] You get a [Cm] knife in the back
Nobody's like this [Eb]
[Dm] Nobody's [Cm] found
[F] Nobody's [Eb] innocent Now [G] that the chips are down
