[e] To the place where you can stand and press your hands like it was bubble
bath in 
[f] Dust piled high as me 
[g] Down under the street, my friend, poor 
[h] Cherokee Louise

3rd verse:

[a] Tuesday after school we'd put our pennies on the rails 
[b] and when the train went by 
[c] We were jumpin' round like fools, goin' look no heads, no tails 
[d] Goin' look my lucky prize 
[e] She runs home to her foster dad, he opens up a zipper and he 
[f] yanks her to her knees 
[g] Oh, please be here, please, my friend, poor 
[h] Cherokee Louise

[a] Cherokee Louise is hiding in this tunnel in the 
[b] Broadway Bridge 
[c] We are crawling on our knees, I've got Archie and Silver Screen 
[d] I know where she is 
[e] At the place where you can stand and press your hands like it was bubble
bath in 
[f] Dust piled high as me 
[g] Down under the street, my friend, poor 
[h] Cherokee Louise
