(Also from Sanchez's solo album "Jet Black And Jealous")
Written by Paul Sanchez, sung by Fred LeBlanc (previously by Sanchez)

Eb=x68886 C#=x46664 Ab=466544 Bb=688766 Gm=355333 Cm=335543
The main RIFF used throughout the song is:
Eb Eb C# C# C# C# Eb Eb C# C# C# Eb
The timing is difficult to show on this, but if you listen to the intro
you
can figure it out. Basically play a few D#'s, then C#'s, then almost
repeat
the pattern but quickly come back for a D# instead of the last C#.
The little filler notes (FILL) are just a little "tickling" of the first
two strings (e and B) held at the 8th fret (just mash down your third
finger
which should be on the 8th fret from playing the D# anyway).
INTRO: RIFF
VERSES:
Eb FILL
Well my eyelids said four-thirty
Eb FILL
and the radio clock said six
Ab Bb RIFF
and I was thinking up a reasonable excuse
Eb FILL
I might have slept til yesterday
Eb FILL
but in the shape I'm in
Ab Bb RIFF
what's twenty-four hours more or less to lose
CHORUS:
Gm Cm
I've burned up letters and I've burned up souvenirs
Gm Cm
And left no traces Lord that I was ever here
Eb Ab Bb RIFF
And I won't be Louisiana lowdown and blue
BRIDGE:
Bb Eb FILL
I saw a stranger smiling at me yesterday
Bb Eb FILL
And it scared me almost half to death
Bb Eb FILL
I wanted to hide I wanted to run away from her
Bb RIFF
Instead I closed my eyes and she wasn't there
