Mornin', it was early summertime 
          A 
We fogged up the rear window of my '67

Likely my liver has taken a lickin' 
  B 
Too 
     A 
Them Beale Street boys are handy with a 
E                  B 
Clap on four and two 
    A 
The thrill is gone so slow and easy 
E                 B 
Won't you love me tender? 
    A                              E 
The way you move’s a drug and I am on a 
          B 
Life-long bender 
   A

E                 B

A 
Cracked up skies tried on a couple lives 
   E                 B

A 
Cold wind comin’ and the heat quit 
                 E              B 
Runnin', but you keep my candle lit 
A 
Pictures on the wall say it all with the 
        E                       B 
 Kind-a-conviction make a river burn 
          A 
You got a skeleton key on a chain around 
                    E               B

Heart 
A 
Church bells ringing in the air down the 
               E                    B
