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]
(same as verse 1)

Just then the wind came squallin' through the door,
But who can the weather command?
Just want to have a little peace to die,
And a friend or two I love at hand.


[Verse 3]
(same as verse 1)

Fever roll up to a hundred and five,
Roll on up, gonna roll back down.
One more day I find myself alive,
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]
(same as verse 1)

The people might know, but the people don't care,
That a man can be as poor as me.
Take a look at poor Peter, he's lying in pain,
Now let's go run and see, run and see.
