^'s And v's indicate strumming direction- ^ is down and v is up (makes sense)
The dead notes can be strummed as a part of the schord, but muting them makes left hand transition easier
Intro:
A minorAm Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4 x4
A minorAm
Met a fine red boned mami
Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4
She told me that her name was Lucille
A minorAm
Met her on Fountain Avenue
CsusCsus G+G Gsus4Gsus4
Sitting on the back of a Cadillac Coupe De Ville
A minorAm
She said, I'm a liar, a thief, I'm a junkie
Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4
And I used to be a whore
A minorAm
And I've been trying to shake this monkey o long
Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4
I just can't take it no more
A minorAm
She said I got a weakness
Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4
I got a hunger, I got a jones
A minorAm
I'm sick and I need to get well
Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4
I hurt deep in my bone
A minorAm
And I got a weakness
Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4
I got a fever, I got a thirst
A minorAm
I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble
Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4
Just waiting for it to burst
A minorAm Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4 x2
A minorAm
We talked all afternoon
Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4
She made me cry, I told some jokes
A minorAm
She looked me deep in my eyes
Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4
And told me love was nothing but a cruel hoax
A minorAm
Her grandmother died when she was five
Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4
And she never did know her folks
A minorAm
Her father fell in a gun fight
Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4
And her mother by an overdose
A minorAm
She said I got a weakness
Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4
I got a hunger, I got a jones
A minorAm
I'm sick and I need to get well
Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4
I hurt deep in my bones
A minorAm
And I got a weakness
Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4
I got a fever, I got a thirst
A minorAm
I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble
Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4
Just waiting for it to burst
A minorAm Asus2Asus2 A minorAm Asus2Asus2 A minorAm Asus2Asus2
A minorAm
She said, I've slept with gangsters
Csus2Csus2
Thugs and smugglers, congressman and governors
A minorAm
I've seen therapists and holy men
Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4
But this weakness is my only friend
A minorAm
It feeds my need, it numbs my soul
Csus4Csus4
It starts to creep and take control
A minorAm
I sell my flesh, I pierce my skin
Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4
And tomorrow I do it all again
A minorAm
´Cause said I got a weakness
Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4
I got a hunger, I got a jones
A minorAm
I'm sick and I need to get well
Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4
I hurt deep in my bone
A minorAm
And I got a weakness
Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4
I got a fever, I got a thirst
A minorAm
I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble
Csus2Csus2 G+G Gsus4Gsus4 A minorAm
Just waiting for it to burst
