   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
