Master of Disaster – John Hiatt Can't seem to find the proper guitar tab for this song, so I worked it out myself. The song is actually played with a Capo on the second fret. Play the F Chord like a C Chord, letting the top 'E string' ring open, but bar the bottom 'E string' with your thumb. Capo 2nd Fret VERSE 1 Fmaj7 C G Am Close one there Choking in clean underwear Fmaj7 C G Am Bleeding tongue Eight ball pounding in my lungs Fmaj7 C G Am Ship to shore I can't see the coastline anymore Fmaj7 C G Am I shouldn't be here I thought I made that loud and clear CHORUS Fmaj7 C G Am But the master of disaster Gets tangled in his telecaster Fmaj7 C G Am He can't play it any faster When he plays the blues Fmaj7 C G Am When he had the heart to ask her And every note just shook the plaster Fmaj7 C G Am Now he's just a mean old bastard When he plays the blues VERSE 2 China town Chasing that old dragon down Madam Wong's We play the blues with the curtains drawn Sidewalks of white While the LA sun beat out the night Pounding brain My last transmission down the drain [CHORUS] VERSE 2 There's a debt I owe I'll never pay before I go So I sing the blues Hand me down my walking shoes You're in my heart Though we may be miles apart There's my point I'll see you in another joint [CHORUS]
