Verse 1
G 
The strangers came
The strangers went
C 
To my daddy's bar
The floor was cement
D 
And wet all the time
It never got dry
C 
Nothing but the smell
G 
of old beer and rye

Verse 2
G 
Mama and daddy and me
We lived in the back
C 
The door wasn't but twenty-five
feet feet from the tracks
D 
And trains would roll by
All day and all night
C 
Rattle them bottles
G 
And shake all them lights

Verse 3
C 
And the strangers would come
G 
and the strangers
Would go
D 
C 
Talking too fast or walking too slow
Sometimes they'd say hey
G 
Pretty girl what's your name?
D 
Why don't you come here and be
C 
Pretty for us?
G 
Then my daddy would make
D 
like he'd reach
For his gun
C 
And those boys would shake

Verse 4
Or hush up and run
C 
G 
Now some of those boys
I noticed them too
C 
Looking at me
But there was nothing to do
D 
When daddy stood watch
Big mean and sober
C 
Like a wall so tall
G 
No one could get over

Verse 5
C 
Sometimes at night
G 
Under the sheets
D 
C 
I'd cover myself from my head to my feet
And wait till my mama and
G 
daddy went to sleep
D 
And though I  was awake
C 
Dream a dream so sweet

Verse 6
G 
Dream a dream so sweet
D 
Though I  was awake
C 
Dream a dream so sweet
All of me ached
G 
Close my eyes and pretend
D 
On the back of my hand
C 
What it would be like
