Steve Earle – After Mardi Gras chords

[Intro]
Am       G      F        G (x4)

[Verse]
Am       G      F        GSee that shadow on the wall
Am       G      F        GDoesn't look like me at all
Am            GHead hung down
F                          GIntentions meltin' on the ground
Am       G      F        GSaddest shape I ever saw

[Chorus]
AThere's so much I need to do
Amaj7Before I get over you
A7But I can't bother with it all
D            DmUntil after Mardi Gras
AAll that music in the air
Amaj7Happy people everywhere
A7Make it hard to sing the blues
D             DmUntil Mardi Gras is through

[Verse]
Am       G      F        GPut my loneliness away
Am       G      F        GSave it for a rainy day
Am       GDelay the pain
F                       GNothin' ventured nothin' gained
Am       G      F        GThe time'll come but that's okay

[Chorus]
ARight now I ain't got the time
Amaj7To sit at home and cry
A7When outside it's carnival
D          DmMaybe after Mardi Gras
AI can learn to take it well
Amaj7Psychoanalyze myself
A7But for now I'm havin' fun
D             DmUntil Mardi Gras is done

[Solo]
Am       G      F        G (x4)

[Outro]
AThere's so much I need to do
Amaj7Before I get over you
A7But I can't bother with it all
D           DmUntil after Mardi Gras
ARight now I ain't got the time
Amaj7To sit at home and cry
A7When outside it's carnival
D           DmMaybe after Mardi Gras
[x2]
