[A]
[D] [A] [Am]
[E] But I went down to [A] Scarlet Town, ain't never been there before
Well you slept on a feather bed, I slept on the [D] floor
Now [A] I don't mind a lean old time or drinking my coffee cold
[Am] But the things I seen in Scarlet [A] Town did mortify my soul
Well look at that deep [Am] well, look at that [D] dark [Am] rain
Drinking [D] that iron bay [A]
in Scarlet Town today
[Am]
[A] I spent some time in New Orleans and came to want to ban
But Scarlet Town brought me [F#] down low as I ever [A] been
Well look at that deep [D] well, look at that dark [Am] rain
Drinking [D] that iron bay [A]
in Scarlet Town today
On [D]
[A] [Am]
[D] [Am]
[D] [A]
the day I came to Scarlet Town you promised I'd be your bride
But you left me here to rot away like pollen on the mountain side
Now look at [D] that deep [E] well, look at that [A] dark rain
Drinking that iron bay in Scarlet Town today
Now
[Am]
[D] [Am]
[A] you may hide in Scarlet Town for a hundred years or more
But the man who knows what time it is is knocking [Am] at the [A] door
So fair you am I won't you love you never see me around
I've been looking through a telescope from hell to Scarlet Town
[E] Now look at that [D] deep [Am] well, look at that [D] dark [Am] rain
Drinking that [D] iron bay [A] in Scarlet Town today
[D] [Am] [D]
[A] [Am]
[A] [Am]
