Piano Intro then . . .
Intro C G D G 2X
Where in he[C]ll did you go?[G]
[D]You left us all alone I [C]wasn't even eighteen.[G]
You never turned[D] around
Like some kid ou[C]t on the run[G]
[D]you headed for the fun dow[C]n in Biloxi[G]
and the Gulf of Mexico[D]
Chorus
Where I gues[C]s the girls they're pretty[G]
and no[C]body says it's [G]late
and you can stay out all nig[D]ht long and never have hel[C]l to pay
down in Bilox[G]i
even when you're forty-o[D]ne
just forget your problem[C]s[D]
down in Biloxi[G]
And you onl[C]y came around[G]
[D]to take a rest and come [C]down from Biloxi[G]
but you were not[D] the same
[C]pretending that you care[G]d
[D]pretending you were there [C]and not in Biloxi[G]
and the Gulf of Mexico[D]
Chorus
Solo
Did you rea[C]lly think you'd fi[G]nd
[D]more than you left behind b[C]ack home in Houston?[G]
we all felt the [D]loss
[C]I don't mean to bring you d[G]own
[D]but I wonder what you foun[C]d there in Biloxi[G]
tell me, was it worth th[D]e cost?
Well I hope [C]the girls were pretty[G]
and n[C]obody said it was [G]late
and I hope you stayed out all nig[D]ht long and never had hell [C]to pay
down in Bilox[G]i
when you were forty[D]-one
You forgot your problems[C][D]
down in Biloxi.[G]
Solo until end
This sounds right to me.
