RIFF (used throughout song): D# D# C# C# C# C# D# D# C# C# C# D#
The filler notes (FILL) are just a little "tickling" of the first
two strings (e and B) held at the 8th fret.
VERSES:
D# FILL
My eyelids said four-thirty
D# FILL
and the radio clock said six
SOL# SIb RIFF
and I was thinking up a reasonable excuse
D# FILL
I might have slept through yesterday
D# FILL
but in the shape I'm in
SOL# SIb RIFF
what's twenty-four hours more or less to lose
CHORUS
SOLm DOm
I burned up letters and I burned up souvenirs
SOLm DOm
Leaving no traces that I was ever here
MIb SOL# SIb RIFF
And I won't be Louisiana lowdown and blue
BRIDGE:
SIb MIb
I saw a stranger smiling at me yesterday
SIb MIb
And it scared me almost half to death
SIb MIb
I wanted to hide I wanted to run away from them
SIb RIFF
Instead I closed my eyes and I wasn't there
