Standard (EADGBE)

Half drunk in Chicago,

waiting for my train to come in

I must have missed it five times or more, I was

lower than I ever been

I climbed the hill by the racetrack and watched them

cars go 'round and 'round

Just starin' out that window,

watching the world go 'round

I knew a guy from Houston

he was a wrecking ball

Six by six, he was hard as nails and

stood about ten feet tall

He sobered up and moved down south Found him a

man and settled down

Just starin' out that window,

watching the world go 'round

I been stuck 'round here for what

seems like way too long And I

seen all them old sad faces Everybody

singing that same old song

And I don't wanna be caught 'round here when that

Judgement Day comes down

starin' out that window,

watching the world go 'round

There was a guy in the men's room

Name was Charlie Fry

He stumbled in throwing punches And

never bothered to say why

I ran from there just as fast as I could

Cus he weighed about 300 pounds

starin' out that window,

watching the world go 'round

Yeah I been stuck 'round here for what

seems like way too long And I

seen all them old sad faces Everybody

singing that same old song

And I don't wanna be caught 'round here when that

Judgement Day comes down

starin' out that window,

watching the world go 'round

I met a gal on the West Coast

She said she'd leave me next day

She stuck around for a year and a half and

we were happy that way

She was the best damn woman that I

guess I ever found

starin' out that window,

watching the world go 'round

starin' out that window,

watching the world go 'round, yeah round

starin' out that window,

watching the world go 'round
