G A D (verse riff)
I must've had a million damn unlucky days
G A D
But there ain't no cloud that a bottle can't chase away
G A D (verse riff)
I've done my deal of living, ran from place to place
G A D
But when the roof comes in I don't wanna take it straight
Bmin F#min
They say with faith any soul can make it
A E
But hell, why should I wait
G A D
'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade
I've had my share of heartaches, let downs and tricks
But the everyday blues is the one thing I can fix
I've heard those holy brethren muttering my name
But it ain't no sin to drink when you're suffering
Patience, they say, is a saintly virtue
But hell, why should I wait
'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade
F#min Bmin
When every heavy sky just empties on your fate
E A
Sometimes keeping dry's something to celebrate
Some Other Suckers Parade solo (from Mark Waters)

So if the road of sin is the one I'm taking
I ain't gonna stray
'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade
