[G]Me and this friend named Street Life Brown
We got a [F]bottle of red and we walked up town
One[G] hand on the jug and one on time
And [F] bettin' a dollar against [C]this next line
 
Chorus
[C]Don't let the [G]sunshine fool you
Don't [F]let the bluebirds tool you
[C]Don't let the [G]women do you
[F]Put your hand in [C]mine
 
[G]Well advice is fine if you got a mind
To [F]listen to them that's got the time
[G]But the muse will get you if you don't look out
[F]'Cause she's equipped to know what it's [C]all about
She said . .
 
Chorus
 
[G]Fannin street on an afternoon
is such an [F]easy way to get a tune
[G]But the hard soap salesman said "no dice"
When I [F]asked politely for a [C]better price
He said . .
 
Chorus
 
[G]So here's a song for you child of mine
And [F]I hope you make it [C]through this time
[G]Get yourself a piece of that rainbow pie
Ain't no [F]reason in the world you [C]can't get by boy
 
Chorus twice
