   G
I came in three days early
                 C/G
To meet my boat
    G                       Gadd9
It ain’t the life of Riley
          Em7          C/G
But it’s keeping me afloat


      G
It’s quiet over Christmas
                        C/G
If you got no place to go
   G                Gadd9
I got my home from river rats
    Em7           CMaj7/G  G  Gadd9  G
The only home I know


   G
I found myself a flophouse
                          C/G
And I hit the streets at nine
 G                  Gadd9
Get some grub and drink a beer
 Em7               CMaj7/G
Maybe go down the line


        G
These chips will take your money
                   C/G
Shake a young man down
          G            Gadd9
It’s the same in every one of these
 Em7         C/G
Sorry river towns

        G              Gadd9
Well I picked me up a bottle
    G                CMaj7/G
To take back to the room
        G                 Gadd9
Then I saw a young girl standing
      Em7             C/G
In a doorway in the gloom


      G              Gadd9
We’d hardly started talking
    G             C/G
The old scenario
            G              Gadd9
And I just let her work me over
      Em7     C/G
Down by the Ohio

       G
When I asked her if she’d like to stay
                           C/G
She was down my stairs so quick
        G
I never asked what got her started
          Em7          C/G
With the sorry river tricks


      G             Gadd9
So I get the bottle open
     G                 C/G
But something’s hit a nerve
         G              Gadd9
And I’m looking in the mirror
        Em7           CMaj7/G
At the face that I deserve
