Lucifer and the Fallen Angels Chords by Ray Wylie Hubbard

[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I run over a squirrel in Arkansas, but the blood wasn't even dry. _ _ _
When I see a few fallen angels in Lucifer trying to hedge a ride,
_ _ _ I pull over, they're jumping, Lucifer says, how far's Mobile? _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ I say, I don't rightly know, I'm going to Nashville to get a publishing [F#] deal. _ _ _ _
And a fallen angel just lies, _ _ _ _ _ call me Lucifer said, now listen, don't take this wrong, _
_ _ _ ain't nobody in the town that's gonna want to publish your song. _ _
_ _ You're cold, but you're old, they don't care about that snake from Groove and Grip.
[F#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ And you didn't make any money even when Badass Paul Thorne recorded it. _
_ _ _ And a fallen angel just lies. _ _
_ _ _ I said, that's cold, you're worthy of your reputation for being evil. _ _ _
Ain't no need to sugarcoat it, he said, unless you're in St.
Patrick's Cathedral. _
_ _ _ _ _
Anyhow, how about it, [F#m] you're driving us [F#] down to Mobile. _ _ _ _
_ _ We'll pay for gas, buy you a lottery ticket and a Tibetan prayer wheel. _ _ _
And a fallen angel just lies. _ _ _ _
[F#m] Might as well, I said, [F#] if you tell me about getting thrown out of heaven. _ _
_ _ Lou says, sure, first stop at a package store, let's get a bottle of six on seven. _ _ _
I pull in the nervous Charlie's Fireworks and all-night liquor store. _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] Lou gets out, pulls out a gun, puts on a ski mask and walks through the door. _ _ _
_ _ And a fallen angel just lies. _ _
_ _ Well, I hear a couple shots, oh, Lou comes running [F#m] back.
_ _ _ He [F#] says, neglect, rich ass, and hit the road jack. _
_ _ _ I pull out, almost wrecking, but I make it to the highway somehow. _ _ _ _ _
Lou says, how do you think that clerk likes to take his sons to work day now? _ _ _ _
And a fallen angel just lies.
_ _ _ I'm first on a non-grata now, barreling down the highway. _ _ _
_ _ Lou takes a sip of Cedro and says, well, that heaven fast cold, ain't much to say. _ _ _
I started a small rebellion, never thinking I'd end up hell bound. _
_ _ _ Oh, the sole reason was I just got tired of God dogging me around. _ _ _
_ And a fallen angel just lies. _ _ _
Lou said, I saw you on Jimmy Fallon's singing, drunken poet's dream. _ _ _ _
So why go to Nashville knowing you're never, ever gonna be mainstream? _ _
_ _ Go to somewhere like Texas where they dig roots and blues and country that's real. _ _ _
It's better to reign in hell than serve in heaven, that's why I'm going to Mobile. _
_ _ _ _ And a fallen angel just lies. _
_ _ _ And a fallen angel just lies. _
_ _ _ And a fallen angel just lies. _
