Verse:

EE Piano Chord

Baby's in the back lot breathin' real heavy
BB Piano Chord 
                          AA Piano Chord 
         EE Piano Chord 

Said the boys in the alley wouldn't leave her alone
EE Piano Chord 
                        AA Piano Chord 

Mama did her makeup in a terrible hurry
BB Piano Chord 
                         AA Piano Chord 
         EE Piano Chord 

She finally got ready but the boys were gone
AA Piano Chord 
                     BB Piano Chord 

Mama don't you worry, night's approachin'
AA Piano Chord 
                         BB Piano Chord 
         EE Piano Chord 

There's a hole in heaven where some sin slips through
EE Piano Chord

Just close your eyes, and dream real steady
BB Piano Chord 
                        AA Piano Chord 
        EE Piano Chord 

Maybe just a little will spill on you

Dark don't lie

All it takes is one or two

Verse:  "Old lady rose, lookin' down her nose..."

Verse:  "Those in the know, say so it goes..."
Chorus:  "Snake eyes cry, boxcars sigh..."
Chorus:   "Dark don't lie, dreams come true..."
(then repeat the A  E sequence for: "Maybe just a few will see you through")
(and repeat it twice more without words for the Outtro)

Chords:

EE Piano Chord 
 022100	AA Piano Chord 
 002220	BB Piano Chord 
 224442

Notes:

E* means that the E is decorated by futzing it with an Em (as you can
hear in the song).  There is a lot of sliding in the song.   Not
currently possessing a slide, or knowing how to tune the guitar to an
appropriately to slide to this song, I just make do by sometimes sliding
the A up to 004440.  It sounds pretty good for the chorus.

Apologies in advance for lyrical errors.  By the way, does anyone out
there know "Murder, Tonight, in the Trailer Park?"

P.S.  This group has brought me closer to a lot of cool music.  Thought
it high time I started to return the favor.  Thanks!
