This Property Is Condemned Maria McKee
'Cause there's w[G]eeds, and there's rust [Am]
And the roof won't hold the rain
[Em] [C] [Em]
Chorus:
[G]I remember better [Am]days
Lac[C]e in every window
And ros[G]es round the gate
No[Em]w they've chased away all my friends [Am]
A[D]nd they've locked me out
[Am]And hung a sign on the [C]fence
And it says this property is condemned
(Back to : Em C (x4))
Verse 2:
Take me down the Vieux Carre
Where a little girl can get a bed or a bite
If you should see me
Coughin' round the corner
Won't you mix a little sugar with my tonic tonight
I can feel like I'm part of the parade
'Cause [G]I feel like there's bo[Am]urbon
Slappin' around in my veins
[Em] [C] [Em]
Chorus
Verse 3:
I got a new tiara, Daddy
Take me to the Mardi Gras
Buy me cotton candy, dress me up in satin
Let me be your babydoll
We csan ditch that social worker
In and out the swinging doors on Tchoupitoulas Street
You may call me jailbait
But I aint too little to take the heat
I can feel, phantoms blowin' thru my brain
And I fe[G]el, like I need someone to make e[Am]m go away
Chorus
Fade out on Em - C
