[Verse 1]
 
A7                       D7
All of my friends come to see me last night,
A7                         D7
I was layin' in my bed and dyin'.
Em          Bm     A   G F#m        Em                    D7
Annie Bonneau from St. Angel say the weather down here so fine.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
A7                     D7
Just then the wind came squallin' through the door,
A7                         D7
But who can the weather command?
Em           Bm            A     G  F#m
Just want to have a little peace to die,
     Em                       D7
And a friend or two I love at hand.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
A7                D7
Fever roll up to a hundred and five,
A7                          D7
Roll on up, gonna roll back down.
Em       Bm         A  G    F#m
One more day I find myself alive,
  Em                          D7
Tomorrow maybe go beneath the ground.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C                         Em
  See here how everything lead up to this day,
D                    Am              Em
  And it's just like any other day that's ever been.
D            G               C   Em    Am
  Sun comin' up and then the sun goin' down.
Fmaj7                               C                  D7
     Shine through my window and my friends they come around,
     Dm            Fmaj7   A7
Come around, come around.
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
A7                            D7
The people might know, but the people don't care,
A7                           D7
That a man can be as poor as me.
Em                  Bm          A  G     F#m
Take a look at poor Peter, he's lying in pain,
Em                   D7
Now let's go run and see, run and see.
