             ===========================================

[Notes:]

I don't know the proper name for the chord I'm calling D/A.
Could be something like Asus4add6, but I'm not sure...all I
know is that it sounds cool, and Lonesome Dave uses it a lot!

A                       Dsus4 D
Remember me, you were a friend of mine,
E                                                        A      D/A A
Restless and young, I'm the one you made love to for the first time.
A                                             Dsus4 D
Now look at you, what you been up to, since I saw you last?
E
Your hair's a mess, you're half-dressed,
                         A        D/A A
You're loaded and you're fadin' fast.

A                          Dsus4 D
All the dreams, you had of wealth and fame,
E
You took to the city, what a shame, they're all shattered,
          A         D/A A
Now your heart's in pain.
A
Makin love for a livin', you've given up,
                   Dsus4 D
All you've got's a heart of stone.
E                                       D
Makin' the most of a sad situation, Paradise Alley's your home.

A        E       D
Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone,
A        E        D
Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home, yeah.

A                     Dsus4 D
Lookin' back, I still recall the time,
E                                                 A   D/A A
I wonder how in the world was it so easy to be so unkind.
A                                                   Dsus4 D
Will you be sorry when you realize the story has to end this way?
E                                                      A          D/A A
Lost in the night, never quite getting used to all the games they play.

D        E  A              D       E  A
You wait in vain, and your heart's in pain,
E                                      D
And dreams are all you have to hold on to.
       D    E A         D        E   A
You're losin' touch and it hurts so much,
E                                  D
To think of all the love I had for you.

A        E       D
Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone,
A        E        D
Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home, yeah.
