Purple Avenue chords

[VERSE]
[G] I slow [Em]down, Purple [Am]Avenues, [D]
[G] to march a[Em]round in [Am]April's [B]shoes
[Am] Weather [D]vanes re[G]mind [Bm7]
of the [Am]summetimes that [A]I've left be[Em]hind [D]
[G] The money's [Em]gone for [Am]auld lang [D]syne
[G] I [Em]spent on Eastern [Am]Standard Time [B]
What ever [Am]happened [B]to my [Em]role?
September [Am]fell right [B]through the [Em]hole
All I've [Am]got is e[B]mpty [Em]po-ckets [D]now

[G] Why does [Em]August [Am]try so [D]hard
[G] to hoist me [Em]on my [Am]own petard? [B]
[Am] I've le[D]arned one t[G]hing fr[Bm7]om losing her (alt: how we were)
That an [Am]ounce of pre[A]vention's worth a [Em]pound of [D]cure
[G] The shadows [Em]fall, I[Am] cannot [D]thread
[G] the tenor [Em]of the [Am]things you [B]said
All that's [Am]left is [B]flesh and [Em]bone
The lights are [Am]on but [B]no one's [Em]home
All I've [Am]got is [B]empty [Em]pocke[D]ts [D#]now

I [Cm]spill myself an[Fm]other drink [Bb]
[D#] I count the [Cm]whiskers [Fm]in the [Bb]sink
The [Fm]orches[Bb]tra is [D#]blind [Gm7]
But I've [D#]never been the [Cm]worrying [Fm]kind [Bb]
[D#] Subsequen[Cm]tly and [Fm]further[Bb]more
[D#] I'll sleep right [Cm]here on the [Fm]draining [Bb]board
I'll [Fm]never [G]be pa[Cm]roled
I like to [Fm]drink 'em [G]while they're [Cm]cold
All I've [Fm]got is [G]empty [Cm]pock[Bb]ets [D#]now
