Tonalité : G major
Verse 1
G
I met a kid in Brooklyn and he
Am
pointed at the skies
He had liquor on his breath
C
and he had fire in his eyes
G
He staggered at me and stumbled
C
G
Am
and I helped him to his feet
I led him up the stairs and sat
G
upon his balcony
He wielded up his glass and waved
C
G
Am
it around just like a sword
But one more sword of whiskey left
G
me feeling pretty bored
He said, "I'd rather take dead aim
C
G
Am
than shoot my pistol in the air
I'd rather be a traitor than a man
who doesn't care."

Verse 3
G
I met a girl here in Ithaca
Am
She took to me at once
I look just like her brother who had
C
G
died when she was young
She whispered me her secrets and
Am
she whispered me her fear
And said so many things that I would
C
G
never want to hear
She tried to draw me in just like
Am
a sickness in the soul
And said, "my little confidant
C
G
together we must go
If they ask you for your papers,
C
Am
just respectfully decline
It's true I was born here but this
C
G
C
country isn't mine."
Verse 4
D
Oh oh oh

This country isn't mine

Verse 5

So listen well son
To conversation
Em
And always take from the words
D
G
of the people that you meet
If you do this
Better witness
D
You might help a little still

Verse 6
C
G
And out in California
Am
With an old dear friend
We drank expensive bourbon
G
And we tried to talk again
He looked out at his watch
Am
And ran a hand across his head
Said, "I'm working in the morning
G
Man I've got to get to bed."
I nodded yes of course
Am
And I was happy to oblige
And we both took one more sip
C
G
Before the gray light over skies
He said one thing I remember every
Am
evening in these hills
"The sun may set on friendship
G
But never on your bills."
Verse 7
D
oh
C
G
Never on your bills
C
D

Oh oh
Verse 8
G
So listen well son
To conversation
And always take from the words

If you do this
