CAPO 7
E MajorE
The Bone Daddy lifts his skull
G+G
from the piano lid to play—
E MajorE
lemme get a whiskey
G+G
and peach tea—
E MajorE
pistol on the table,
G+G
revolver in the holster,
E MajorE
—you ain’t gunna shoot me,
G+G
I’ve paid my drink fee.
E MajorE
Bodie Currency—
G+G
(Brown paper’s dead tree)
E MajorE
The deeds you’ve done for me,
G+G
or the ax to my family tree.
E MajorE
The rag time girl gets groovin’
to the keys played by bony
phelanges. Whiskey down,
the cards are
hint of G+G E MajorE
free and the game is
cheap. But Jimmy always
carrys on, ya see? Losin’
gals’ he pulls his gun on me—
E MajorE
Bodie Currency—
G+G
(Red paper's blood money)
E MajorE
The deeds you’ve done for me,
G+G
or the ax to my family tree.
E MajorE
Bodie Currency—
G+G
(Red paper’s blood money)
E MajorE
The deeds you’ve done for me,
G+G
or the ax to my family tree.

(Clark Kent Bridge:
Hey boy I see you sittin' there
drink your whiskey down
But Bodie Currency ain't of value in my town
So I better see you get on up and go grab your things
Don't you return until the tumbleweed sings...)
(JoJo Bridge:
Hey boy I know you been heckled here and there
but Bodie Currency ain't of value everywhere
When cows go dry
and the Sherrif gets his lonely blues
you might wanna move along
just like the tumbleweed does)
(Write your own character into the bridge of Bodie's ghost town!)
E MajorE
Tumbleweed
A augmentedA

E MajorE
The goods I’ve grown—I’ve paid
A augmentedA
my fee. Bodie don’t
E MajorE
Remember no Bodie don’t remember
A augmentedA
democracy,
E MajorE
the folk here
A augmentedA

E MajorE
Bodie Currency—
G+G
(No Paper. No Tree.)
E MajorE
The deeds you’ve done for me,
G+G
or the ax to my family.
