G                        C
Up all night I could not sleep
    G                        C
The whiskey that I drank was cheap
     G                          C                  D
With shakin' hands I wait and I lit up my last cigarette
         G                      C
Well the sun came the night had fled
    G                        C
And sleepy-eyed I reached my bed
  G                      C                     G    C G
I saw you sleepy dreamin there all covered and warm

   C                   Bm
R: South city midnight lady
       B              C
   I'm much obliged to you
       C                    Bm        Am          G    C G
   You sure have saved this man who's soul was in need
   C                      Bm
   I thought there was no reason
   B                 C
   all these things I do
           C                 Bm     Am              G
   But the smile that I said I've returned I'm with you

G                             C
When day has left the night behind
    G                      C
And shadows roll across my mind
G                      C                        D
sometimes find myself alone and out walking the street
        G                         C
Yes and when I'm feelin' down and blue
     G                    C
Then all I do is think of you
    G                       C            G    C G
And all my foolish problems seem to fade away
