CAPO 7

E
The Bone Daddy lifts his skull
                                        G
from the piano lid to play—
E
lemme get a whiskey
                       G
and peach tea—
E

pistol on the table,
                                G
revolver in the holster,
E
—you ain’t gunna shoot me,
                                   G
I’ve paid my drink fee.

           E
	Bodie Currency—
           G
	(Brown paper’s dead tree)
                          E
		The deeds you’ve done for me,
                             G
		or the ax to my family tree.

E

The rag time girl gets groovin’
to the keys played by bony

phelanges. Whiskey down,
the cards are

hint of G           E

free and the game is
cheap. But Jimmy always

carrys on, ya see? Losin’
gals’ he pulls his gun on me—

           E
	Bodie Currency—
           G
	(Red paper's blood money)
                          E
		The deeds you’ve done for me,
                             G
		or the ax to my family tree.

           E
	Bodie Currency—
           G
	(Red paper’s blood money)
                          E
		The deeds you’ve done for me,
                             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
Tumbleweed
                              A
you’re smoking buddy.
                            E
The goods I’ve grown—I’ve paid
       A
my fee. Bodie don’t
   E
Remember no Bodie don’t remember
    A
democracy,
        E
the folk here
         A
exchange
