Tall City Blues chords

[E] [F#m] [A] [A] [E]

[VERSE 1]

[E]Well, I hate this town, hate this place
[E]There ain't nothin' to do
Except [F#m]go down to the bar each night
[F#m]And drink 'til 2
I [A]hate my job
I'm always in a bad [E]mood
I fear I'm [F#m]comin' down with a [A]case
Of the tall city [E]blues
[E]Well, I'm a CPA, I got my B.B.A. from TTU
I crunch [F#m]numbers in a highrise
[F#m]Countin' barrels o' crude
Me and my [A]buddies bitch in the breakroom
'Cause our boss went golfin' this after[E]noon
Left us to [F#m]fend for ourselves [A]
In the tall city [E]blues

[CHORUS]

[A]Tall city d[E]reamin' is the [A]difference
In [E]believin' in [A]makin' a livin'
Or [E]lovin' what you do
[A]Raisin' a [E]family among s[A]trangers
And [E]wildcatters who
Were [A]brought here [E]by the [F#m]boom [A]
We'll all be strangers soon
With tall city [E]blues

[VERSE 2]

[E]This one bedroom apartment
[E]Is takin' all my dough
Fifteen [F#m]hundred a month
[F#m]For Venetian blinds and stained concrete floors
Lay [A]back in my king size bed
Each night where I sleep [E]alone
Dreamin' [F#m]about my next move [A]
Outta these tall city [E]blues

[A]Tall city d[E]reamin' is the [A]difference
In [E]believin' in [A]makin' a livin'
Or [E]lovin' what you do
[A]Raisin' a [E]family among s[A]trangers
And [E]wildcatters who
Were [A]brought here [E]by the [F#m]boom [A]
We'll all be strangers soon
With tall city [E]blues

[VERSE 3]

[E]Got laid off this morning
[E]Did you not hear the news
We [F#m]took too much out of the ground
[F#m]We knew what to do
[A]Tonight no one gives a damn
Whether your collar's white or [E]blue
We'll drain our [F#m]glasses by the masses
And make a [A]toast
To the tall city [E]blues
Let's drain our [F#m]glasses by the masses
And make a [A]toast
To the tall city [E]blues Oh

[CHORUS]

[A]Tall city d[E]reamin' is the [A]difference
In [E]believin' in [A]makin' a livin'
Or [E]lovin' what you do
[A]Raisin' a [E]family among s[A]trangers

And [E]wildcatters who
Were [A]brought here [E]by the [F#m]boom [A]
We'll all be strangers soon
With tall city [E]blues
We'll all be [F#m]strangers [A]soon
With tall city [E]blues
