D F#
I'm down at the bowery, oh Lord oh Lord, gonna tell you how I got here
D F#
First I gotta shoot some dice and win so I can get my room again
D F#
It all started with a love so true and the angels flew higher than I'd ever been
D F#
With a sparkle in her face and her eyes and the butterflies it all came rushing in
[Chorus]
Bm A D
Buttercup, I lost my wife in '73
Bm A D
She took ill, she done died on me
F#
And I've got nothing more to live for
[Verse]
D F#
So I packed up a bag and went, I just started wandering
D F#
I hid in the booze and the shadows of the night, I just started crumbling
[Chorus]
Bm A D
Buttercup, I lost my wife in '73
Bm A D
She took ill, she done died on me
F#
And I've got nothing more to live for
[Break]
D F#
Oh, it just dont seem fair
D F#
I met her under a chandelier
D F#
And time and space changed from there
[Chorus]
Bm A D
Buttercup, I lost my wife in '73
Bm A D
She took ill, she done died on me
Bm A D
Buttercup, I lost my wife in '73
Bm A D
She took ill, she done died on me
[Outro]
F#
And I've got nothing more to live for
F# (no F#7) G (barred)
And I've got nothing more to live for
