Bag Of Bones chords by Guy Clark

Chords with lyrics

INTRO G+G A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA E/G# G+G A augmentedA D MajorD

       D MajorD
He said his hip talk to him when it's ready to rain
A/C#A/C#
He's had a little nip and he's feeling no pain
B minorBm          A augmentedA         G+G
When he gets like this, he feels like talkin'

      D MajorD
He said he took some shrapnel at the Bay Of Pigs
A/C#A/C#
He lost two fingers on a gulf oil rig
B minorBm       A augmentedA               G+G
Ooh you gotta watch him or he'll take off walkin'
A augmentedA               B minorBm  A augmentedA
Some folks say he's lost his mind,
G+G         A augmentedA
But he's just running' out of time

CHORUS
     G+G         A augmentedA         D MajorD
He said, This old bag of bones ain't really me
     G+G         A augmentedA         D MajorD
There's a lot more standing here than what you see
      G+G        A augmentedA      B minorBm   A augmentedA
He said my back is bending low, but my spirit's flying
E/G#
free
G+G        A augmentedA          D MajorD
This old bag of bones ain't really me

(SOLO - D MajorD - A/C#A/C# - B minorBm - A augmentedA - G+G - A augmentedA - B minorBm - A augmentedA - G+G - A augmentedA)

      D MajorD
He said I live each day like it's my last
A/C#A/C#
Time won't keep, it goes too fast
B minorBm         A augmentedA        G+G
You'd better do the best that you can do

      D MajorD
He said, Life's a tune you whistle in the dark
A/C#A/C#
When you get it right, you get a little spark
    B minorBm        A augmentedA        G+G
and the sun comes up and it all dawns on you


CHORUS
     G+G         A augmentedA         D MajorD
He said, This old bag of bones ain't really me
     G+G         A augmentedA         D MajorD
There's a lot more standing here than what you see
      G+G        A augmentedA      B minorBm   A augmentedA
He said my back is bending low, but my spirit's flying
E/G#
free
G+G        A augmentedA          D MajorD
This old bag of bones ain't really me


He said my back is bending low, but my spirit's flying
E/G#
free
G+G        A augmentedA          D MajorD
This old bag of bones ain't really me
G+G        A augmentedA         D MajorD
This old bag of bones ain't really me
