Verso:

   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

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

Verso:

   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

Refrão:

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

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

Refrão:

Bm              A                    D           F#
