Standard (EADGBE)

There are three chords in this song, - - ,and its

for a beginner to play through with confidence.

(The electric keyboard at the beginning doesn't sound good on acoustic guitar. I just

up at the rhythm section and go from there)(This corrects the chord progression in the

and adds the missing chord for line three of the main verses)

I remember setting out just to see what I could see

Streetcars rolling by and airplanes flying high they all meant nothing to me

No one ever looked my way or knew that I was there

I kept walking and the rain kept raining until all the streets were bare

Ooh ooh, feeling fine mama

Painted ladies and a bottle of wine mama

Ooh ooh, feeling good mama

They took my money like I knew they would

-

La la la la, la, la la

La la la la, la-a-a-a

La la la la, la, la la

La la la la, la-a-a-a

City lights were shining on me through my window pane

I kept thinking 'bout the day when I'd be home again

Rocking chairs and summer fairs and swimming in the sea

I kept drinking, sinking, till there was nothing left of me

Ooh ooh, feeling fine mama

Painted ladies and a bottle of wine mama

Ooh ooh, feeling good mama

They took my money like I knew they would

-

La la la la, la, la la

La la la la, la-a-a-a

La la la la, la, la la

La la la la, la-a-a-a

-

La la la la, la, la la

La la la la, la-a-a-a

La la la la, la, la la

La la la la, la-a-a-a

and fade out
