[Verse]
Cm Gm Cm
A bunch of guys was in this bar room
Eb Cm Eb Cm
Most of them had been there half the day
Eb F Ab
They'd been telling jokes and fairy tales lying
F Ab Cm
Just to pass the time away
Eb Cm Eb
Then suddenly someone cracked the bar room door
Gm
And then pushed it open wide
Cm Gm
And this huge tall dark dude
Cm Eb Cm Eb
Bowed his head and stepped inside
Cm Eb
I wonder where he's from?
Cm
Some blonde asked
Eb Cm
The wind must have blown him in
Eb
But an old Dutchman offered him a drink
Cm Eb F
What will it be, whisky, rum or gin?
Ab F
Sick him Fido, a redhead shouted
Ab Cm
Show him his way back to the street
Eb Cm
But the Great Dane just walked over and licked his hand
Eb Gm
And lay down at his feet
Gm
He said if you spare me that drink, Dutchman
Gm Cm
I promise I'll tell you how
Eb Cm
That I came to be the helpless sight
Eb
That stands before you now
Cm
I used to be an artist
E Cm Eb
Not one who sits and fiddle out on the curb
Cm
But in my day and time
Eb F
My music was considered superb
F
I wrote a song about a poor kid
Ab Cm
Raised down in New Orleans
Eb
It didn't make the hall of fame
Cm Eb Gm
But it bought us shrimp, rice and beans
Ab
He kept at it until it made the big time,
Gm F Cm
Playing town after town
Ab Eb
Until he met a woman he fell in love with
Cm Eb
And it really turned his life around
Cm
She had eyes like Cleopatra
F Ab
And a head of luxurious hair
Cm Eb
With the brilliance of her beauty
