Strum
D-DU-UDU
 There are three chords in this song,  -  -  ,and its
 for a beginner to play through with confidence.
 (The electric keyboard at the beginning doesn't sound good on acoustic guitar. I just
 up at the rhythm section and go from there)(This corrects the chord progression in the
 and adds the missing chord for line three of the main verses)
 I  remember setting out just to see what I could see
 Streetcars rolling by and airplanes flying high they all meant nothing to me
 No  one ever looked my way or knew that I was there
 I  kept walking and the rain kept raining until all the streets were bare
 Ooh  ooh,  feeling  fine  mama
 Painted  ladies  and a bottle  of wine  mama
 Ooh  ooh,  feeling  good  mama
 They  took my money  like I knew  they would
 -
 La  la la la, la,  la la
 La  la la la, la-a-a-a
 La  la la la, la,  la la
 La  la la la, la-a-a-a
 City  lights were shining on me through my window pane
 I kept thinking 'bout the day when I'd be home again
 Rocking  chairs and summer fairs and swimming in the sea
 I  kept drinking, sinking, till there was nothing left of me
 Ooh  ooh,  feeling  fine  mama
 Painted  ladies  and a bottle  of wine  mama
 Ooh  ooh,  feeling  good  mama
 They  took my money  like I knew  they would
 -
 La  la la la, la,  la la
 La  la la la, la-a-a-a
 La  la la la, la,  la la
 La  la la la, la-a-a-a
