Drunken Nights In The City

G I'll tell you a story about a night on the town D Started off drinking at five By the time I was through I'd near worn out my shoes G And visited every known dive All the lights in the alley Fall dim on the ground C When you're trying to see your way home And the all night ladies G In their perfume so fine D C G Yeah, won't leave a poor boy alone C Drunken nights in the city G Showin' their toe C G They'll take you for more than you know C You can't judge a book G And you can't trust a crook D C G Down where the neon lights glow G Early next morning I rose up so bad D My eyes were as red as the light My pockets were empty, so was my heart G I promised to put things right I went down to the preacher, fell on my knees C Asked the preacher to right all the wrongs G But he just shoke his head, looked sorry when he said D C G "Son, you been on them streets far too long" C Drunken nights in the city G Showin' their toe C G They'll take you for more than you know C You can't judge a book G And you can't trust a crook D C G Down where the neon lights glow C Drunken nights on the city G Are showing their toe C G They'll take you for more than you know C You can't judge a book G And you can't trust a crook D C G Yeah, down where the neon lights glow D C G Yeah, down where the neon lights glow
