Am
I wanna tell you a story
Dm                G       Em
Ain't got no characters in it but me
Am
I wanna sing you a sad song
Dm             G          Em
Most of it I don't expect you to believe

Am
It starts off just the whiskey and wine
Dm                   G      Em
Some miles of travel and some real good times
Am
But it ends in a dark corridor
      Dm                  G     Em
Where there ain't no windows and there ain't no doors

       Am
Well that's me
     Dm                      G          Em
Just a' drinkin off this bottle and a'driftin out to sea
       Am
Well that's me
    Dm                     G         Em
Just a' sittin here starin and a' shakin like a leaf
       Am
Well that's me
     Dm                  G         Em
Just a' leanin on my shovel in this graveyard o' dreams
       Am
Yeah that's me
     Dm                  G    Em     Am
Just a' leanin on my shovel in this graveyard o' dreams

Am
I wanna take you to a shipwreck
Dm             G         Em
A thousand miles underneath the Black sea
Am
Looks like everybody's sleeping
Dm               G      Em
But look close they are dead indeed
Am
I wanna lead you to an armchair
Dm           G           Em
Deep back in the files of my mind
Am
I wanna sit you in the candle's light
Dm               G      Em
Where I've been spendin all o' my time

Am
Well that's me
     Dm                      G           Em
Just a' drinkin off this bottle is it drinkin' off of me
       Am
Well that's me
    Dm                    G         Em
Just a'sittin here starin and a' shakin like a leaf
       Am
Well that's me
     Dm                  G         Em
Just a' leanin on my shovel in this graveyard o' dreams
       Am
Yeah that's me
     Dm                  G    Em     Am
Just a' leanin on my shovel in this graveyard o' dreams
