Verse 1
(G major) The strangers came
The strangers went
To (C major) my daddy's bar
The floor was cement
And (D major) wet all the time
It never got dry
Noth (C major) ing but the smell
of old (G major) beer and rye
Verse 2
Mama and (G major) daddy and me
We lived in the back
The door (C major) wasn't but twenty-five
feet feet from the tracks
And trains (D major) would roll by
All day and all night
(C major) Rattle them bottles
And shake (G major) all them lights

Verse 3
And the strangers (C major) would come
and the strangers (G major)
Would go
(D major) Talking too fast or (C major) walking too slow
Sometimes they'd say hey
Pretty girl (G major) what's your name?
(D major) Why don't you come here and be
Pretty (C major) for us?
Then my (G major) daddy would make
like he'd (D major) reach
For his gun
And (C major) those boys would shake
Verse 4
Or hush up and run
(C major)
Now (G major) some of those boys
I noticed them too
(C major) Looking at me
But there was nothing to do
When (D major) daddy stood watch
Big mean and sober
Like a (C major) wall so tall
No one (G major) could get over
Verse 5
(C major) Sometimes at night
(G major) Under the sheets
I'd (D major) cover myself from my (C major) head to my feet
And wait till my mama and
daddy (G major) went to sleep
And though (D major) I was awake
Dream a (C major) dream so sweet
Verse 6
Dream a dream (G major) so sweet
Though (D major) I was awake
Dream a dream (C major) so sweet
All of me ached
Close my (G major) eyes and pretend
On the (D major) back of my hand
What (C major) it would be like
Outro 1
The kiss of a man
