[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _
_ Yeah, well [G] I found my [C]
fingers up north in the [G] forest of the _ [C]
farmer.
_ _ [G] Well I blame [C] them woods for all I've [G] learned.
_ _ [C] _
_ _ Yeah, well [G] I watch [A] my [C] witch walk west where the [G] money is _ [C]
burned.
_ _ [G] Just to strut [C] my stuff and wait my [G] turn.
_ _ [C] _
_ Yeah, [A] but I have often thought [C] these old bones [G] should just go on ahead and break [D] if they're gonna. _ _
[C] And these old shoes [G] should just go on and give out _ _ [A] where they're on. _
[C] They're running to jail [G] for profit [D] these [C] _ days.
[G] Yeah, [E] that's what they [C] _ say.
_ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Yeah, well _ I lost [C] my lungs long ago in the belly [G] of the _ [C] _
_ beast.
[G] Well I got my [C]
golf and the boys' _ [G] Beckys.
_ [C] _
_ Yeah, well [G] I sing sweet [C]
songs with the throat that [E] belongs to _ [C] her.
_ _ _ [G] Well she wears [A] my [C] heart and I wear her [G] words.
_ [C] _
_ You know [B] I got these lips from the girl next door.
[C] The only problem is they only beg [G] for more.
_ _ _ [D] _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [E] _
[C] _ _ Yeah, [A] well I [B] showed my [Bm]
skin for some fancy clothes.
[B] I thought I'd get a better [B] deal but [G] that's the way it _ goes. _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
Whoa.
[C] _ _ _ Ooh.
[G] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ Yeah, but I [D] have often thought that [C] these old bones [G] should just go on ahead and break if [D] they're gonna. _
_ And [C] these old [G] teeth should just go on and [Em] give out.
[E] _ _ _ [A] _
Well [C] they're running to jail [G] for profit [C] these days.
_ _ [G] Yeah, that's what [C] they say.
_ [G] Well _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ you can [B] go and put all the rest in a hollow tree.
[C] Yeah, fill it with cement and marmalade [G] maybe. _
