The District Sleeps Alone Tonight Harmonica Tabs

4 -2” 2 3 -3” 3 2 1

Smeared black ink. Your palms are sweaty

2 2 2 -1 2 -2 2 2 4 -2” 2

And I’m barely listening to last demands

2 2 2 2 3 -3” 3 2 1 2 2 -1 2 -2 2

I’m staring at the asphalt wondering what’s buried underneath

4 -2 -2”

Where I am (x2)

4 -2” 2 2 2 2 2 3 -3” 3 2 1

Wear my badge. Vinyl sticker with big block letters

2 2 -1 2 -2 2

adherent to my chest

4 -2” -2 2 2 2 3 -3” 3 2 1

Tells your new friends I am a visitor here

2 2 3 -3” 3 2

I am not permanent

4 -2” 2 1 -1 2 -1 1

(And the) only thing keeping me dry is…

(Where I am)

CHORUS:

3 4 3 4 3 4 -4 3 3 5 5 5 5 -4 -4 4

You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex

3 4 3 4 3 4 -4 3 3 3 3 5 -4 -4 4 3

A stranger with your door key explaining that I’m just visiting

3 4 3 4 3 4 -4

And I am finally seeing

3 5 5 5 5 -4 -4 4

Why I was the one worth leaving (x2)

3 -3 4 -3” -3” 3 1

D.C. sleeps alone tonight

[REPEAT CHORUS]

3 4 3 4 3 4 4 -4

The district sleeps alone tonight

-4 -4 -4 5 -4 -4 4 3

after the bars turn out their lights

3 4 3 4 3 4 -4 3 3 3 5 5 -4 -4 4

And send the autos swerving into the loneliest evening

3 4 3 4 3 4 -4

And I am finally seeing

3 5 5 5 5 -4 -4 4

Why I was the one worth leaving (x4)
