Go out yonder, peace in the valley

G C G C
|
Come downtown, there's a rumble in the alley
|

|
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
|
|
Has anybody seen my lady
|
This living alone drives me crazy
|
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
|
|
C Dm Em Dm(E bass) C
|
I'm gonna go down by the wa - ter
|
C Dm Em Dm(E bass)
|
But I ain't gonna jump in, no, no
|
C Dm Em Dm(E bass)
|
I'll just be looking for my Baby,
|
F D7
|
And I hear that that's where she's been? Oh!
|
|
Out of nine lives, I spent seven
|
Now, how in the world do you get to Heaven?
|
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
|
|
I just spent 60 days in the jailhouse
|
For the crime of having no dough
|
Now here I am back out on the street
|
For the crime of having nowhere to go
|
|
Save your neck or save your brother
|
Looks like it's one or the other
|
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
|
|
Now two young kids might start a ruckus
|
You know they feel they're trying to shuck us
|
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
