Baby hit the back door breathin’ real heavy
         A                          B7         E
Said the boys in the alley wouldn’t leave her alone
E                         F#m
Mama did her make-up in a terrible hurry
    B7                        A         E
She finally got ready but the boys were gone
F#m                   Abm
Mama don’t you worry, night’s approachin’
          A                         B7        E
There’s a hole in heaven where some sin slips through
     E                   F#m
Just close your eyes and dream real steady
B7                       A        E
Maybe just a little will spill on you

Old lady rose, lookin’ down her nose
      A                    B7     E
At lonely miss lily hiding in the hall
E                           F#m
Lily’s just praying for the trial to be over
     B7                        A     E
Lady rose just waiting for the ax to fall
F#m               Abm
Show me off on the way to town
    A                         B7            E
The sky’s still shiny and the earth’s still brown
E                        F#m
Tell the judge I’m ready for the vases
B7                                  A      E
Gonna dance in their faces when the guitar sounds

   E     A  F#m   Abm
It won’t be long
             E
I'll be long gone
       A                          F#m  E
I been leaning toward the shadows all along
