Living With The Shades Pulled Down
By Merle Haggard

If you want the "jazz" sound, play the C like this

C9 – X32333

C                     F       C 
I fell in love with a working girl
C         G        C   
Lord, she sure was sweet
C                   F         C
I met her down in a red-light tavern
C          G       C 
Workin' on Bourbon Street
C               F          C
Way down in the old French Quarter
C            G       C
Bright light side of town
C             F       C
Day time life sure is cozy
C               G             F
Livin' with the shades pulled down


Chorus:
C                             F        C
Livin' with the shades pulled down all day
C                G           C
Lovin' while the world goes 'round
C                 F         C 
Nobody knows what all we're doin'
C               G             C
Livin' with the shades pulled down


Some might get the wrong idea
'Bout the kind of man I am
But I bring home my half of the bacon
Pickin' in a guitar band
Love is all my workin' girl brings me
Comin' in off the town
Day time life sure is cozy
Livin' with the shades pulled down
