Em                 B7
Hard times in the city
      C           G B7
I get over, I get under
Em                      B7
Don't it make you feel dizzy?
        C    G B7
All the anger
Em                  B7
I don't mean to be jealous
       C                        G    B7
But my eyes have seen you with fellas
   Em                 B7          C                G    B7
I find it hard to be part of the city when it's so unjust
    G        A                 B
It makes me feel like I wanna die, that's why

Chorus:
Em              D
I don't drink alone
(I never drink alone)
         Bm                Em
I got a big fine mamma at home
(I just can't get enough)
     D    Em          D
She calls me chicken bone
(My midnight tone)
              Bm               Em
And then she rolls me like a stone
(I just can't get enough)

Bricked up in the city and the buildings are laughing
Pay check burning my pocket
Going to buy a gold chain and a locket
Makes me feel like I'm gonna lie, that's why

Chorus

G    D              Em  D
She sings when it's over
Am                  D
When it's over she sings
G            D          Em7           D
She doesn't worry as I walk out the door
Am                   D
'Cos tomorrow I'll bring
  G         D               Em        D   Am            D
Two small chocolates and a bottle of wine, a very nice time
Em                  B7               C                G    B7
All my pennies, my farthings for my mortgage that I'm under
Em                    B7             C                  G       B7
At her place all the sorrows of the world can wait 'til tomorrow
     G        A                    B
She makes me feel like it's all alright, that's why

Chorus:
I don't drink alone
(I never drink alone)
I got a big fine mamma at home
(I just can't get enough)
She calls me chicken bone
(My midnight tone)
And the she rolls me like a stone
(I just can't get enough)
I don't drink alone
(I never drink alone)
I got a big fine mamma at home
(I just can't get enough)
She calls me her chicken bone
(My midnight tone)
And then she rolls me like a stone
(I just can't get enough)
Like a stone
(I just can't get enough)
Like a stone
Like a stone
(I just can't get enough)
Like a stone
