_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I pulled [C#m] in the labyrinth, [D] I was feeling about [A] half-past eight.
I [C#m] just need to find some [D] place where I can lay my [A] head.
Yeah, Mr.
[C#m] Can you tell me [D] where the man [A] found me? _

_ [E] _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _ [A] I picked [C#m] up my bag, [D] I was looking for a [A] place to hide. _
When I saw [C#m] Carmen and the [D] devil walk inside [A] the shack. _
I [C#m] said, hey Carmen, come on [A] let's go downtown. _ _
She said, well I gotta [D] go before my friend can stick [A] around. _

_ [E] _ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] I go [C#m] down this morning, [D] there ain't nothing that you can [A] see. _
It's just [C#] old Luke and [D] Luke's waiting on a [A] judgment day. _
[C#m] Well, Luke, my friend, [Bm] I put a body [A] on that leaf.
He said, do [C#m] me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep the [A] sanity company.

He said, [C#m] I will fix you, Rack, [D] if you don't [A] take me down. _
I said, wait a [C#m] minute, Chester, [D] you know I'm a [A] peaceful man.
He said, [C#m] Rack's okay, boy, won't [D] you be checking [A] whenever you can.
