	Old man down,

	Em	Asus2
	Way down down, down by the docks of the	city.

	Asus2
	Blind and dirty,

	Em	Asus2
	Asked me for a dime, a dime for a cup of	coffee.

	Em	D	Asus2
I	got no dime but I	got some time to hear his s	tory.

My name is August West,

And I love my Pearly Baker best more than my wine.

More than my wine -

More than my maker, though he's no friend of mine.

Everyone said,

I'd come to no good, I knew I would Pearly, believe them.

Half of my life,

I spent doin' time for some other fucker's crime,

	A	D	A
The other half found me stumbling 'round drunk on Burgundy	wine

	G	D	G/D	D	A	D	G/D	D
	But I'll get	back		on my	feet again some	day,

	C	G	C	G	D	Dsus4	D
The	good Lord w	illin',		if He says I	may.

	Asus4	A	Em
I know that the	life	I'm livin's no	good,

	Asus4	A	Asus2	A	A7	Em
I'll	get a new s	tart,		live the l	ife I s	hould.

Break

	Em
	I'll get up and fly away,

	Asus2
I'll get up and fly away,	fly away.

Pearly's been true,

True to me, true to my dyin' day he said,

I said to him,

I said to him, "I'm sure she's been."

I said to him, "I'm sure she's been true to you."

Got up and wandered,

Wandered downtown, nowhere to go but just hang around.

I've got a girl,

Named Bonnie Lee, I know that girl's been true to me.

I know she's been, I'm sure she's been true to me.
