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 shipwreak
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 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
