D G A D
My daddy told me, lookin back,
G A
The best friend you'll have is a railroad track
D G A D
So when I was 13, I said, I'm rollin' my own
G A D
And I'm leavin' Missouri and I'm never comin' home
D
And I'm lost
A
And I'm lost
D B
I'm lost at the bottom of the world
D G
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
D A D
I'm lost at the bottom of the world.
D G A D
Satchel Puddin' and Lord God Mose
G A
Sitting by the fire with a busted nose
D G A D
That fresh egg yeller is too damn rare
G A D
But the white part is perfect for slickin' down your hair
D
And I'm lost
A
And I'm lost
D B
I'm lost at the bottom of the world
D G
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
D A D
I'm lost at the bottom of the world.
D G A D
Blackjack Ruby and Nimrod Cain
G A
The moon's the color of a coffee stain
D G A D
jesse Frank and Birdy Joe Hoaks
G A
But who is the king of all these folks?
D
And I'm lost
A
And I'm lost
D B
I'm lost at the bottom of the world
D G
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
D A D
I'm lost at the bottom of the world.
[Play riff A]
D G A D
Well I dined last night with Scarface Ron
G A
On Telapia fish cakes and fried black swan
D G A D
Razorweed onion and peacock squirrel
G A
And I dreamed all night about a beautiful girl
D
And I'm lost
A
And I'm lost
D B
I'm lost at the bottom of the world
D G
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
D A D
I'm lost at the bottom of the world.
[Play Riff A and B]
D G A D
Well God's green hair is where I slept last
G A
He balanced a diamond on a blade of grass
D G A D
Now I woke me up with a cardinal bird
G A
And when I wanna talk he hangs on every word
B
And I'm lost
A
And I'm lost
D B
I'm lost at the bottom of the world
D G
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
D A D
I'm lost at the bottom of the world.
[Play riff A 2x + fadeout]
