Verse 1
(G major) I was (E major) runnin' through the summer rain,
try'n' to catch that evenin' train
And kill (A major) the old familiar pain weavin'
through my tangled brain
When (D major) I tipped my bottle back and
smacked into a cop I didn't see (G major)
That (E major) police man said, "Mister Cool,
if you ain't drunk, then you're a
fool."
I said, (A major) "If that's against the law,
then tell me why I never saw
A man (D major) locked in that jail of yours who
wasn't neither black or poor as
me?" (G major)
Well, that was when (D major) someone
turned (G major) out (A major) the light (A minor) s
An (D major) d I wound up in jail
to spend the night (G major)
And dream of all the wine
and lonely girls (C major) (A minor)
In this (D major) best of all possible worlds. (G major)
Well, (E major) I woke up next mornin'
feelin' like my head was gone
And like (A major) my thick old tongue was
lickin' something sick and wrong
And I told (D major) that man I'd sell my soul for
something wet and cold as that
old cell. (G major)
That kindly (E major) jailer grinned at me,
all eaten up with sympathy
Then poured (A major) himself another beer and
came and whispered in my ear,
"If booze (D major) was just a dime a bottle boy,
you couldn't even buy the smell" (G major)
I said, "I knew (E minor) there was (D major) something
(A major) I liked about this town." (A minor)
(A major) But (D major) it takes more than that to bring me (G major) down,
down, down.
'Cause there's still a lot of
wine and lonely girls (C major) (A minor)
In this (D major) best of all possible worlds (G major) (A major)
Well, they fi (F sharp major) nally came and told me
they was a gonna set me free
And (B major) I'd be leavin' town if I
knew what was good for me
I said, (E major) "It's nice to learn that ev'rybody's
so concerned about my
(A major) health."
(They were obsessed with it)
I said, (F sharp major) "I won't be leavin' no
more quicker than I can
'Cause (B major) I've enjoyed about as
much of this as I can stand
And (E major) I don't need this town of yours
more than I never needed nothin'
else." (A major)
'Cause there's still a lot of drink
(B major) (A major) s that I ain't (B major) drunk (B minor) (D major)
(B major) And (E major) lots of pretty thoughts
that I ain't (A major) thunk
And lord there's still so
many lonely girls (D major) (B minor)
In this (E major) best of all possible (A major) worlds.
