CAPO 2
[INTRO]
[D] [Em] [G] [A7] [D] 2x
B[D]aby hit the back door b[Em]reathin? real heavy
Said the [G]boys in the alley wouldn?t [A7]leave her a[D]lone
[D]Mama did her make-up in a [Em]terrible hurry
She [A7]finally got ready but the [G]boys were [D]gone
[Em]Mama don?t you worry, [F#m]night?s approachin?
There?s a [G]hole in heaven where some [A7]sin slips [D]through
Just [D]close your eyes and [Em]dream real steady
[A7]Maybe just a little will [G]spill on [D]you
The D[D]ark [G]don?t [Em]lie [F#m]
The Dreams come [D]true
[G]Could be a few will [Em]see you [D]through
[D]Old lady rose, look[Em]in? down her nose
At lon[G]ely miss lily hiding [A7]in the [D]hall
[D]Lily?s just praying for the [Em]trial to be over
Lady [A7]rose just waiting for the [G]ax to [D]fall
[Em]Show me off on the[F#m] way to town
The [G]sky?s still shiny and the [A7]earth?s still [D]brown
[D]Tell the judge I?m ready [Em]for the vases
[A7]Gonna dance in their faces when the [G]guitar [D]sounds
It [D]won?t [G]be [Em]long [F#m]
I'll be long [D]gone
I been [G]leaning toward the shadows [Em]all a[D]long
[D] [Em] [F#m] [G] [D] 2x
[Em] [F#m] [G] [D]
[D] [Em] [F#m] [G] [D]
[D]Those in the know [Em]say so it goes
You [G]plan on reapin?, yo[A7]u better [D]sow
[D]You plan on sleepin, You [Em]better keep movin?
[A7]Sleepin? ain?t allowed around [G]here you [D]know
[Em]Tell me please when the [F#m]rollings over
[G]Me and my baby gonna [A7]have some [D]fun
[D]Bury our backs in a [Em]bed of clover
[A7]Smile in style while the [G]sun goes [D]down
The [D]Snake [G]eyes [Em]cry, [F#m]
Boxcars [D]sigh
[G]Seven?s stuck in the middle just [Em]wonderin? [D]why
The Dark don?t [Em]lie [F#m]
The Dreams come [D]true
[G]All it takes is [Em]one or [D]two
[G]Maybe just a few will [Em]see you [D]through
[G]Maybe just a few will [Em]see you [D]through
