Sin City - Gram Parsons, Chris Hillman
3/4 time - waltz
D A7
This old town is filled with sin,
D7 G
It'll swallow you in
D A7
If you've got some money to burn.
D A7
Take it home right away,
D7 G
You've got three years to pay
D A7 D
But Satan is waiting his turn
CHORUS:
G A7 D D7
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house.
G D A7
It seems like this whole town's insane
G A7 D7 G
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
D A7 D
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
D A7
The scientists say
D7 G
It'll all wash away
D A7
But we don't believe any more
D A7
Cause we've got our recruits
D7 G
And our green mohair suits
D A7 D D7
So please show your I.D. at the door.
CHORUS and instrumental break
D A7
A friend came around
D7 G
Tried to clean up this town,
D D7 A7
His ideas made some people mad.
D A7
But he trusted his crowd,
D7 G
So he spoke right out loud
D A7 D
And they lost the best friend they had
CHORUS
G A7 D7 G
On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door
D A7 D
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
