    Cm   Ab Gm  Gb  Fm
The moon is in the gutter
        Ab         Gm   Gb  Fm
And the stars wash down the sink
         Eb          Dm
I am the king of the blues
             Db           Cm
I scrape the clay off my shoes
     Gm   Ab       Bb  Ab  Gm    Fm
And wade down the gutter, gutter moon


The moon blinds my eye with opal cataracts
As I cut through the saw-mills and the stacks,
Leaping over the gully where I would one day take Lucy
Then wash up my hands in the gutter and the moon.

Fm           Bbm       Eb
Such a long way from home, 
     Eb   Bbm
just me and

    Cm   Ab Gm  Gb  Fm
The moon is in the gutter
       Ab                Gm    Gb  Fm
All my plans are flushed down the drain
         Eb          Dm
I wander lonely as a cloud
             Db       Cm
Over memories at her mound
     Gm   Ab         Bb   Ab  Gm    Fm
Then lie down in the bitter gutter moon.
