The Bowery(Chords)

	        In the verses and the Choruses: 

D alternates usually with Gmaj9 
F# alternates usually with F#7 

Listen to the track for pattern, the chords alternate only by taking the 
index finger off the frets. It's fairly straightforward. I wrote the song 
down with the chords in fixed places so you could get a feeling of how the 
lyrics are phrased, hope it helps. 

Intro:  

D Gmaj9 F# F#7 x 2 

Verse: 

                     D 
                  Im down at the bowery, oh Lord oh Lord 
                     F# 
Gonna tell you how I got here 
                     D 
       First I gotta shoot some dice and win 
                     F# 
            So I can get my room again 

                     D 
             It  all started with a love so true and the angels flew 
                     F# 
         Higher than Ive ever been 
                     D 
              With a sparkle in her face and her eyes and the butterflies 
                     F# 
         It all came rushing in 

Chorus: 

         Bm              A                    D    F# 
              Buttercup,   I lost my wife in  73  
         Bm              A          D 
           She took ill,   she done died on me 
         F# 
 And Ive nothing more to live for 

Verse: 
                  D 
               So I packed up a bag and went 
                  F# 
   I just started wandering 
                  D 
     I hid in the booze and the shadows of the night 
                  F# 
   I just started crumbling 


Chorus: 

         Bm              A                    D           F# 
              Buttercup,   I lost my wife in  73    
         Bm              A          D 
           She took ill,   she done died on me 
         F# 
 And Ive nothing more to live for 


After-Chorus: 

D                      F# 
Oh, it just  dont seem fair... 
D                      F# 
I met her under a chandelier 
D                      F# 
And time and space changed from there 

Chorus: 

         Bm              A                    D           F# 
              Buttercup,   I lost my wife in  73  
         Bm              A                    D           F#           
           She took ill,             she done died on me 
         Bm              A                    D           F# 
              Buttercup,   I lost my wife in  73  
         Bm              A                    D 
           She took ill,        Lord she done died on me 
         F# 
 And Ive nothing more to live for 

         F# 
 And Ive nothing more to live for 
         F# (no F#7)               G (barred) 
 And Ive nothing more to live for
