intro: A
D E A
There's a crooked street in Houston town
D E A
It's a well long path I've traveled down
D E A* (A4) F#m
Now there's ruin in my name, I wish I never got off the train
D E A
I wished I'd listened to the words you said
A
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
D A
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
D A* (A4) F#m
Don't go down...to Fannin Street...oh yeah
A D
You'll be lost and never found
A D
You can never turn around
A E A
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
D E A
Once I held you in my arms, I was sure
D E A
And I took that silent step through the gilded door
D E A* (A4) F#m
The desire to have much more, all the glitter and the roar
D E A
Now I know just where the sidewalk ends
A
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
D A
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
D A* (A4) F#m
Don't go down...to Fannin Street...oh yeah
A D
You'll be lost and never found
A D
You can never turn around
A E A
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
D E A
When I was young I thought only of getting out
D E A
I said goodbye to my street, goodbye to my house
D E A* (A4) F#m
Give a man gin, give a man cards, give an inch he takes a yard
D E A
And I rue the day that I stepped off this train
A
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
D A
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
D A* (A4) F#m
Don't go down...to Fannin Street...oh yeah
A D
You'll be lost and never found
A D
You can never turn around
A E A
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
A
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
D A
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
D A* (A4) F#m
Don't go down...to Fannin Street...oh yeah
A D
Cause you'll be lost and never found
A D
You can never turn around
A E A
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
A E A
Don't go down...to Fannin Street
A E A
Don't go down...to Fannin Street.
