Nils Lofgren - Mud in Your Eye Lyrics

You used to leave your scent (GEDG)
On his whiskey soaked collar (GEDG)
You both would paint the town (EDBmE)
Drink up his very last dollar (GEDG)
And then you loved him for fun (EDEG)
And rode away when it was done (GEDG)
Now he's confused and I know why (Cmaj7-C-Cadd9-D)
Ain't that mud in your eye (GEDG)


Ain't like rain (GEDG)
Remember lively little Richard. (GEDG)
But his men were painting town (EDBmE)
You were in need of attention (GEDG)
So he thought he'd take you on down (EDEG)
And there you first saw me (GEDG)
And realized you were no longer free (Cmaj7-C-Cadd9-D)
Cuz true love good girls can't deny (GEDG)
It comes and goes like mud in you're eye. (Cmaj7-C-Cadd9-D)
(After that progression and the last lyric there comes another GEDG
And from here out chords are played during singing instead of prior)

F
Sometimes a victim can run
Am
But not when both have been 'von
D-C-D
And I ain't no stranger
I built you up to shoot you down
C
Once you could thrill me
Am
Now I'm the jury
D
And you'll be a cinch to convict

Em-F#m-E-A
Your boy's gonna make the great escape
A-F#m-E-A
While your laid bare on the ground
A-F#m-E-C#m-F#m
This vengeance had to and in crime
F#m-A-F#m-E-A
I built you up and shoot you down

A-F#m-E-F#m-E
You know I'm not usually that kind
E-A-F#m-E-A
But you didn't know he was a brother of mine

A-Dmaj7
But I'll just laugh if you cry
E
Now ain't that mud in your eye
A-F#m-E-A
