Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
FF
This old middle finger
Bb majorBb                    FF
Has grown fat and tired from flicking the bird
FF
My mouth has grown cankerous
Bb majorBb      C majorC
From spitting dirty words
Bb majorBb
I feel like a strung out Snuffaluffagus
Bb majorBb                     FF
On the south side wearing Vietnamese cowboy clothes
FF                   Bb majorBb
And I found out the hard way that the pathway to her heart
          FF
Is not through her nose

Chorus:
FF            Bb majorBb
I'm tired of being rude, ticked-off drunk and crude
  C majorC                        FF
My woman can't bring me home to ma 'cause I am the dude
FF                    Bb majorBb
I'm tired of swigging this beer, need to wipe off this ugly sneer
  C majorC                       FF
My woman can't bring me home to pa 'cause I am too weird


Post-Chorus:
        Bb majorBb
And she wants a gentleman
           FF
Nothing more, just a gentle friend


Verse 2:
       FF
It's getting hard to lie through my teeth
 Bb majorBb                    FF
'Cause they rotted out and they're not all there
FF                      Bb majorBb
I need my old man to wash my mouth out with soap
                 FF
And my mother to scrub this nasty hair
Bb majorBb
Why the fuck is a munchkin on the highway?
                   FF
Jumping out a trash can in Congolese cowboy clothes?
Bb majorBb
And like a deer transfixed by headlights
                       FF
The bumper crushed his head while I God damn froze

Chorus:
FF            Bb majorBb
I'm tired of being rude, ticked-off drunk and crude
C majorC                         FF
My woman can't bring me home to ma 'cause I am the dude
FF                    Bb majorBb
I'm tired of swigging this beer, need to wipe off this ugly sneer
  C majorC
My woman can't bring me home to pa 'cause I am too weird


Chorus:
FF            Bb majorBb
I'm tired of being rude, ticked-off, drunk and crude
  C majorC                        FF
My woman can't bring me home to ma 'cause I am the dude
FF                Bb majorBb
I'm tired of swigging this beer, need to wipe off this ugly sneer
C majorC                         FF
My woman can't bring me home to pa 'cause I am too queer


Outro:
FF        Bb majorBb
And she wants a gentleman
          FF
Nothing more, just gentle friend
          Bb majorBb
Nothing less than a gentleman
           FF
Nothing more, just a gentleman
           Bb majorBb
Nothing less than a gentle friend.
