Sin City

Gram Parsons, Chris Hillman

3/4 time

G D7

This old town is filled with sin,

G7 C

It'll swallow you in

G D7

If you've got some money to burn.

G D7

Take it home right away,

G7 C

You've got three years to pay

G D7 G

But Satan is waiting his turn

CHORUS:

C D7 G G7

This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house.

C G D7

It seems like this whole town's insane

C D7 G7 C

On the thirty-first floor your gold plated door

G D7 G

Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain

G D7

The scientists say

G7 C

It'll all wash away

G D7

But we don't believe any more

G D7

Cause we've got our recruits

G7 C

And our green mohair suits

G D7 G G7

So please show you I.D. At the door.

CHORUS

(Instrumental break)

G D7

A friend came around.

G7 C

Tried to clean up this town;

G G7 D7

His ideas made some people mad.

G D7

But he trusted his crowd,

G7 C

So he spoke right out loud

G D7 G

And they lost the best friend they had

CHORUS

C D7 G7 C

On the thirty-first floor your gold plated door

G D7 G

Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
