Alexis Acordes

[Intro]
 Am Am Am Am
 
[Verse 1]
 Am                      Dm9               G6
 Alexis, thank you for a pleasant southern day
Dm9           G6         Cmaj7               C
 Spent on the levy throwin' pennies in the bay
 Am
 And talkin 'bout the rich folks
       Dm9                      G6
 On the big boats that pass that way
Dm9             G6
 You were just a young girl
Cmaj7           C           C7
I just could not stay
 
[Verse 2]
 Am                       Dm9               G6
 Alexis, I can't remember how we met back then
Dm9                G6              Cmaj7          C
 Was on my way to Atlanta, now I'm on that road again
 Am                        Dm9           G6
 Not really poor, had money just not to spend
Dm9              G6              Cmaj7                C            C7
 You were just a young girl, and I was in need of a friend
 
[Chorus]
  F
 Alexis, you always used to talk about
                                 Cmaj7        C
 Leavin your hometown, headin on south
  F
 Maybe down to New Orleans
                               Cmaj7        C
 And you wanted me to help you out
    Am
 But you were just a young girl
     F                  Gsus2       G
 And I was just a hobo...
              Am           Am7
 that had my doubts
 
[Verse 3]
 Am                        Dm9                     G6
 Alexis, I did not want to... want to leave you there
Dm9              G6             Cmaj7          C
 Sometimes this life we lead is so unfair
 Am
 I wanted to take you with me
Dm9             G6
 But I did not dare
Dm9              G6             Cmaj7               C           C7
 You were just a young girl and I could not pay your fare
 
[Chorus]
  F
 Alexis, you always used to talk about
            Dm9                  Cmaj7        C
 Leavin your hometown, headin on south
  F
 Maybe down to New Orleans
                               Cmaj7        C
 And you wanted me to help you out
    Am
 But you were just a young girl
     F                  Gsus2       G
 And I was just a hobo...
              Am           Am7
 that had my doubts
 
[Outro]
Am                        F         G
 I had my doubts...
