A
On the park bench I slept on,
raindrops are falling on.
    Bm                   E
The newspapers covering me.
        D             A
I hear early mornin' motors.
        D                Bm             E
And I know the world is waking for the dawn.
        D
Bur my mind's down a dark alley,
                                A
somewhere where last night you loved me.
F#m         D              A       D               A
And in the early morning chill, my arms remember still.
          D               A    E               A
But I'm dropping like a stone lonesome to the bone.

Chorus:
     D                            A                F#m
The sun is roughly rising on the roofs of Stagger town.
     D                                E               A
The time for sweating poison out, is just now coming round.
      D                         A              D
That high flying last night, is over with and gone.
 A           E               A
Leavin' me, lonesome to the bone.

I walked away the wind blows
And any way the wind goes will be good enough for me
The streets are loud and crowded
But I walk my weary way lost and alone
Your hot breath and your laughter
Keep flashing through my mind to warm me
But the naked light of day soon makes it fade away
And I'm dropping like a stone lonesome to the bone
