Verse 1
Em C D G Chicago is where the woman downstairs Am B7 Em Starved herself to death last summer Em C D G Her boyfriend Ted ate hotdogs and wept Am B7 Em With the grey rats out on the fire escape Em C D G In a thrift store chair I drank cases of beer Am B7 Em And dreamed of lying down on the L-tracks Em C D G The trains roared by under smoke grey skies Am B7 Em Lake Michigan rose and fell like a bird
Chorus
C D G And when the wind screamed up Ashland Avenue C D G The corner bars were full by noon C D G And the old stewbums sliding down their stools Am B7 Em Ate boiled eggs and fed beer to their dogs
Instrumental Break
Em C D G Am B7 Em
Verse 2
Em C D G The woman downstairs lost all her hair Am B7 Em And wore a beret in the laundry room Em C D G I borrowed her soap and bought her a coke Am B7 Em But she left it on the dryer Em C D G She died in June weighing eighty-two Am B7 Em Her boyfriend went back to New York Em C D G The cops wandered through her dusty rooms Am B7 Em One of them stole her TV
Chorus
C D G And when the wind screamed up Ashland Avenue C D G The corner bars were full by noon C D G And the old stewbums sliding down their stools Am B7 Em Ate boiled eggs and fed beer to their dogs
