Fannin Street

Tom Waits

 C
 FGC
There's a crooked street in Houston town
 FGC
It's a well born path I've traveled down
 FGCAm
Now there's ruin in my name, I wish I never got off the train
 FGC
wished I'd listened to the words you said

 C
Don't go down to Fannin Street
 FC
Don't go down to Fannin Street
 FCEmAm
Don't go down to Fannin Street  
 CF
You'll be lost and never found
 CF
You can never turn around
 CG
Don't go down  
 GC
 to Fannin Street

 FGC
Once I held you in my arms, I was sure
 FGC
And I took that silent step through the gilded door
 Am
 The desire to have much more, all the glitter and the roar
 FGC
Now I know just where the sidewalk ends

 C
Don't go down to Fannin Street
 FC
Don't go down to Fannin Street
 FCEmAm
Don't go down to Fannin Street  
 CF
You'll be lost and never found
 CF
You can never turn around
 CGC
Don't go down to Fannin Street

 DmGC
When I was young I thought only of getting out
 DmGC
I said goodbye to my street, goodbye to my house
 Am
Give a man gin, give a man cards, give an inch he takes a yard
 FGC
And I rue the day that I stepped off this train

 C
Don't go down to Fannin Street
 FC
Don't go down to Fannin Street
 FCEmAm
Don't go down to Fannin Street  
 CF
You'll be lost and never found
 CF
You can never turn around
 CGC
Don't go down to Fannin Street
