G B Night is down but it's bright as day Am You haven't been around since you went away C Feels so good so that's what you say G C G C Folks say hi, but you say, "Hey." C Well, that old mad dog, he's barking for the blues bone G Orpheus got a black book and a telephone D/F# Plays that lyre 'cause he doesn't want to be alone; C Cm One look back.... Buy a beer, find a place to stand Have a couple laughs and hear the band Smoke a couple of your favorite brand Wake up with a stamp on the back of your hand. Em C B Am Don't blame me, it's all been Laraby's gang, now, now. Em C B Am Don't blame me for the song that the Nightingale sang, now, now. Em Don't blame me 'bout the vanishing waif, C B Am Don't blame me if your safe ain't safe, now, now. Guitar Solo: G C G C G C G C Sun comes up, you're still awake. There's the sky, still as a lake. Not even that can drown the ache, Looks so high, it must be fake.
