And I-I - I'm almost twenty-five  - … - …

It's the strange things I've seen - That keep my alive … …

Seen a beautiful woman with a tattooed face

Cry herself to sleep for things she couldn't erase - Now

Seen a love note written in the hard concrete

By a love sick boy who resembled me                [Intro]

Oh, where's my baby, she is something sweet - …       (x2)

Seen nine men living up in a tree                Cm Cm7>Cm

I sent them food while the cops chased me - … …  Cm Cm7>Cm

Seen a teenage boy with an old age beard         Bb Bb7>Bb

Move deep into the woods to escape a fear        Bb Bb7>Bb

What it was was never too clear

But his parents put it there - (… - … x4) - [Break] … - …

(… - … x4) - And I-I - I, I loved all of my days  - … - …

Oh, I've spent them in - The most peculiar place  - … - …

((Spent a week (atop a mountain/below a bridge),

     slept through stormy nights x2) - Now - …

Lived with ten boys circling in a-total peace

Lived with one girl, we only spoke through our teeth

Where's my baby, she is something sweet    - …

I caught six rides going from the east to the west

Only [Break] to find I need the east to rest at night ═══╗

Oh at night - Oh at night, night   ║ Fletcher C. Johnson ║

Lived in the basement of a house full to the top ════════╝

Of relics one woman had never forgot

She let me touch them if they returned to their spot - …

((Oh, she was/She's) good to me, eyaaho

 (Yeha eeyah, ha ha ho/Yeha eeyah eeyah, eeyah yayah/

  Yeha hhaha haho/Eyah, eeyah eeyah, eyah eyah (yah/…))

She's good (to me, hee, hee x2)    ╔═══════════ x1~3~#5~8)

She's something sweet [Break] - …  ║ Gone Down the River ║

(… - … x4) - And I-I - I, I know myself - … - … ═════════╝

Well, I found me in a book - About a boy on a quest - … …

(He (went/bent) down to the (water/river)

     and he (saw/kissed) himself (x2)

 ('Bout/Where's my baby, she is something sweet) - … x2)

(I (went/bent) down to the (water/river)

     and I (saw/kissed) myself (x2)

 ((I said/…) where's my baby, she is something sweet x2~1

  Where's that little ol' love of my life/             ~1/
