Addey

  Bb
(**  =  PA Y inversions ascending and descending tbroughout all but last verse.)

Bb**
Addey's a cat, she's a fool,
Bb**
she's a star, she's a queen,
Bn
She lives in a trap down on 3rd,
 Bb**                  F**
never heard, never seen,
          Gm  **               Eb**
Oh, she's desperate for a way to get out;
                              Bb**
she don't know what "out" means,
Cm
Addey, don't you be so afraid;
F                      Bb**
it's not as bad as it seems.

Bb**
She walks 'cross the floor,
Bb**
 toward the door, to stairs to the street,
Bb**
She calls up a cab for downtown,
F**
there's a man she must meet,
        Gm**                             Eb**
Oh, the thought of what she's got to go through
                    Bb**
makes her cry to be free,
Cm
Addey, wipe those tears from your eyes;
F **                     Bb**
you wouldn't want him to see.

Bb**
So she puts on a face with a smile
Bb**
as she walks through the door,
Bb**
She thinks of her folks and her home,
                          F**
and what she came there for,
    Gm**                        Eb**
She tells the man, after this time
                       Bb**
she won't be back for more,
Cm
He says, "Huh, Addey, don't you be a fool;
F                                 Bb**
you said that time and time before."

N.C.
I can hear him say...

Gm        Eb     Bb
NA NA NA NA, NA NA NA,
Cm          Bb
NA NA NA NA, NA NA NA,

Bb**
She runs down the street, in the heat,
Bb
down past Nowhere Café,
Bb**
She drops to her knees 'neath the trees,
                           F
but she don't know how to pray,
      Gm                            Eb
Ooh, Addey, there's no life in that rig,
                       Bb
why don't you throw it away?
Cm                              F
Trust in God for a new kind of life,
                          Bb
Honey, he won't lead you astray, never.

N.C.
