              Intro: C,D (four times)
Am
Uncle Salty told me
Stories of the lonely 
                       D        A
Baby, we can only come alive to me
Am
Her man he was lusted
Daddy he was busted
They left her to be trusted
       D       A
To the orphanage
              G 
But when she cried at night
        Am
No one cared
              G
And when she cried at night
       A
Went insane
 Am
Uncle Salty told me
When she was just a baby
That she could buy a mabye
    D          A
Someday she'd see
 Am
Soon she found that money
Is love for all the others
The pushers and the shovers
         D       A
Was the life to me
              G
But when she cried at night
        A
No one cared
              G
And when she cried at night
       F
Went insane
 A
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
 D      A
Oh, oh yeah
 D      A
Oh, oh yeah
 Am
Now she's doin' many
For money and the penny
                         D      A
Sell her for a penny or two or three
 Am
Hers is the cunnin'
For men that come a runnin'
                              D       A
They all come for fun and it seems to me
 
              G
That when she cried at night
        A
No one cared
             G
And when she cried at night
      F
Went insane
 Am 
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
