Sweet Lucy

D

[Verse]

         A            D
When we left, it was cold
              A               D
Each other's hands we had to hold
         A           D
We was drunk in Tennessee
         A                 D
She got drunk, as drunk as me
    F#m                   Bm         E
She run up the hill, she cried and cried
G       D       E     A
I run down the other side

[Chorus]

G          A
Oh, sweet Lucy
G          A
Oh, sweet Lucy
G          A           D
Oh, sweet Lucy, let me go

[Verse]

        A                   D
Police come, they took my wine.
                A                    D
They put us in jail, hundred-dollar fine.
              A                   D
I could hear her cryin' over the wall
         A                D
In the women's detention hall.
  F#m                  Bm     E
I got on the phone, my mama spoke,
 G       D        E           A
"Sorry, son, but your mama's broke!"

[Chorus]

G          A
Oh, sweet Lucy
G          A
Oh, sweet Lucy
G          A           D
Oh, sweet Lucy, let me go

[Verse]

           A         D
Wherever I go I get sad.
            A                  D
Seems like sorrow lives in the air.
                  A               D
In the wide-open skies of California,
           A              D
They have sorrow way out there.
 F#m                      Bm        E
Five gets ya ten that ya don't get past;
 G            D           E         A
Five gets ya ten that ya better go fast.

[Chorus]

G          A
Oh, sweet Lucy
G          A
Oh, sweet Lucy
G          A           D
Oh, sweet Lucy, let me go

[Verse]

              A                 D
Oh, Harry Hubcaps and Jack the Fluke,
               A                    D
They bought a bottle, a bottle for Luke.
             A                    D
They was buddies, but they had a fight;
                   A                    D
They broke the jukebox, they broke the light.
F#m                     Bm         E
Big ol' Fluke weigh three-hundred pounds;
G          D          E        A
Fell on Harry when Harry fell down.

[Chorus]

G          A
Oh, sweet Lucy
G          A
Oh, sweet Lucy
G          A           D
Oh, sweet Lucy, let me go

[Verse]
             A                  D
My old lady says, "Gimme that wine."
            A                      D
I said, "Honey, quit drinking sometime."
             A                  D
She said, "Snock, it's not my fault!
                   A               D
Had to eat my porkchop without no salt."
    F#m                   Bm         E
She run up the hill, she cried and cried
G       D       E     A
I run down the other side

[Chorus]

G          A
Oh, sweet Lucy
G          A
Oh, sweet Lucy
G          A           D
Oh, sweet Lucy, let me go
