It [D] was back in 32 when times were hard, you had a Colt .45
and a deck of [Am] cards to start a move. _ _ _ _ _
[D] You wore a rat-torn shoes and an old Stetson hat, had a .28,
.40,
had payments on [Am] my strategy.
_ _ [A] _ _ [Gm] _
[D] I was a-walkin' through a mountain, the ice and the snow, and she told him never ever
come [Gm] back no [Am] more strategy.
[C] _ [A] _ _ _ [C] _
[A] [D] So he walked through the rain and he walked through the mud, till he came to a place called
[E] the Huck of the [C] Bloodhounds. _ _ _ _ _
[A] [D] He said, Mr.
Motherfucker, you know who I am, and the barkeeper said, no, and I don't
give [Am] a good goddamn, _ it's a staggerly. _
[D] He said, well, bartender, it's plain to see, I'm the bad motherfucker called [Gm] Staggerly.
[Am] It's a staggerly. _ _ _
[D] Well, the barkeeper said, yeah, I heard your name down the way, and I cut motherfuckin'
[Am] asses like you [C] every day, Mr.
Staggerly. _
[D] Well, those were the last words that the barkeeper said, cause Stag put four holes in his [Am] motherfuckin'
head. _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] Just then in came a broad called Nellie Brown, known to make more money than any [Am] bitch in town. _ _ _ _ _
[A] [D] She starts to cross the bar, hitchin' up her skirt over to Staggerly.
She starts to [C] flirt, oh, a staggerly. _ _ _
[A] [D] She saw the barkeeper, oh God, he got me dead.
Stag said, well, [G] just cut [Am] the holes in the motherfuckin' head. _ _ _ _
[A] [D] She said, you really look like you're scaldin' quite a time when I come to my pen.
It won't cost [Am] you a dime, Mr.
Staggerly. _ _
[D] But there's somethin' that I have to say before you begin.
You have to be gone before [Am] my man Billy Dilly comes in, Mr.
Staggerly.
[D] _
[Am] [D] I say, here goes Billy Dilly comes in, just line comes to pass.
Furthermore, fuck Billy [Am] Dilly and his motherfuckin' ass, said Staggerly. _ _
[D] I'm a bad motherfucker, don't you know?
I crawl over fifty great bushes just to get to [Am] one sad boy's ass, oh.
Said Staggerly.
[C] _
[A] [D] Just then, Billy Dilly walks in, he says, you must be a man [E] motherfucker called Staggerly.
[Am] _ I'm Staggerly.
_ [C] _
Yeah, [D] I'm Staggerly, and you better get down on your knees.
Damn, suck my dick, [G] because [Am] if you don't, you're gonna be dead.
He said, Staggerly. _
[D] Oh, well, Billy Dilly dropped down a clovered on his head, [G] and his stick filled him full of lead.
