Chords with lyrics
Capo on 3
A minorAm G+G FF E7E7
A minorAm
William Butler Yeats in jeans
G+G
Got up to play guitar and sing
FF E7E7
In some joint in Mission Beach last night
A minorAm
At the door sat Tom Waits
G+G
In a pork pie hat and silver skates
FF E7E7
Jugglin' three collection plates, Jesus Christ
A minorAm
Townes Van Zandt standin' at the bar
G+G
Skinnin' a Hollywood movie star
FF
Can't remember where he parked his car
E7E7
Or to whom he lost the keys
A minorAm
Full of angst and hillbilly haiku
G+G
What's a poor Ft. Worth boy to do
FF
Go on rhyme something for em' man
E7E7
Show em' how you really feel
Chours:
FF C majorC
Aint no money in poetry
G+G A minorAm
That's what sets the poet free
FF C majorC G+G
I've had all the freedom I can stand
FF C majorC
Cold dog soup and rainbow pie
G+G A minorAm
Is all it takes to get me by
FF C majorC
Fool my belly till the day I die
G+G A minorAm
Cold dog soup and rainbow pie
A minorAm
Ginsberg and Kearouac
G+G FF
Shootin' dice playin' Ramblin' Jack's guitar
E7E7
With the cowboy paintin' pickguard on it
A minorAm
And they sat in the back and they drank for free
G+G
And rhymed orange with Rosalie
FF E7E7
Now there's a pride of lions to draw to
