I c[G]ame in three days early
To meet my boat[C/G]
It a[G]in?t the life of Riley[Gadd9]
But it?s k[Em7]eeping me afl[C/G]oat
It?s q[G]uiet over Christmas
If you got no place to g[C/G]o
I g[G]ot my home from r[Gadd9]iver rats
The [Em7]only home I kn[CMaj7/G]ow[G] [Gadd9] [G]
I f[G]ound myself a flophouse
And I hit the streets at n[C/G]ine
G[G]et some grub and dr[Gadd9]ink a beer
M[Em7]aybe go down the l[CMaj7/G]ine
These ch[G]ips will take your money
Shake a young man d[C/G]own
It?s the s[G]ame in every [Gadd9]one of these
S[Em7]orry river t[C/G]owns
R[G]iver towns[Gadd9]
S[G]orry river towns[C/G]
R[G]iver towns[Gadd9] [Em7] [CMaj7/G]
R[G]iver towns[Gadd9]
S[G]orry river towns[C/G]

Well I p[G]icked me up a b[Gadd9]ottle
To t[G]ake back to the r[CMaj7/G]oom
Then I s[G]aw a young girl st[Gadd9]anding
In a d[Em7]oorway in the gl[C/G]oom
We?d h[G]ardly started t[Gadd9]alking
The [G]old scenario[C/G]
And I just l[G]et her work me [Gadd9]over
Down b[Em7]y the Oh[C/G]io
R[G]iver towns[Gadd9]
S[G]orry river towns[C/G]
R[G]iver towns[Gadd9] [Em7] [C/G]

When I [G]asked her if she?d like to stay
She was down my stairs so q[C/G]uick
I never [G]asked what got her started
With the s[Em7]orry river tr[C/G]icks
So I g[G]et the bottle [Gadd9]open
But s[G]omething?s hit a n[C/G]erve
And I?m l[G]ooking in the m[Gadd9]irror
At the f[Em7]ace that I des[CMaj7/G]erve
R[G]iver towns[Gadd9]
S[G]orry river towns[C/G]
