[Verse]
C      G              A                             Em A
Four in the morning and the water is pouring down
C      G              D                          Em A
Stove don't work and my baby has just left town

[Instrumental]

C                  G              A                             Em A
I'm lying on my back 'cause there just ain't nothing to drink
C                G              D                         Em A
Empty bottles on the floor and dirty dishes in the sink

[Instrumental]
Em A  Em A

C        G              A                             Em A
Nothing to drink and sun ain't gonna shine
C           G              D                          Em A Em A
I left my baby 'cause she just wouldn't stop lying

Em A  Em A

C           G              A                             Em A
Well I saw my baby and she took back all she said
C                     G              D                          Em A Em A
It don't make no difference now 'cause I shot them both in bed

[Instrumental]
Em A  Em A

C         G              A                             Em A
Jimmie Joe with her legs and knees all bandaged up
C           G              D                          Em A Em A
He came asking for some money all I had was a buck

C         G              D                          Em A Em A
Stove don't work and my baby has just left town

C          G              A                             Em A
I'm watching the cockroach crawling in an old bean can
C             G              D                          Em A Em A
He says when your baby left now it's tough to be a man
