Alone And Broke In Birmingham(Chords)

	        C 
Nobody knows how blue I am 

                   G7 
Alone and broke in Birmingham 

G7 
Washin' dishes for a bite to eat 

                     C 
Sleepin' nights on a rundown street 


C 
My only shoes are paper thin 

                            F 
Iâ??ve hawked my clothes everywhere I've been 

                        C 
Iâ??m down to nothin' and here I am 

G7                 C 
Alone and broke in Birmingham 


C 
Why did I leave a good home town 

                         G7 
To ride the freights and bum around 

G7 
The girl that's waiting is mighty sweet 

                          C 
But I can't wait till I'm on my feet 


C 
Down on my luck but I still got my pride 

                        F 
Can't find a job but oh how I've tried 

                         C 
Ain't got the price of a telegram 

G7                 C 
Alone and broke in Birmingham 


C 
I've heard a thousand no's and they all hurt 

                     G7 
Who wants a man in a dirty shirt 

G7 
I can't keep going with this heavy load 

                           C 
Sometimes I think it's the end of the road 


C 
A man's got hope though he's not got a dime 

                         F 
He keeps a livin' just a breath at a time 

                      C 
I can't wait till I'm out of this jam 

G7                 C 
Alone and broke in Birmingham 
  
G7                 C
