Key: G Intro: D G Chorus: G C If you′re going down to the shady side of town D G And you're looking for a drop to drown your blues C It ain′t much, but it'll do, shotgun booze and shootin' pool D G You won′t find The Good Lord′s rules in this dark house of fools Verse 1: G C Oh, so warm and tender, does every soul remember D G The way her skin would sing beneath his hand C But that was then, and this is now and behind that furrowed brow D G There's a humble heartache hurting in a man
Chorus: G C I say if you′re going down to the shady side of town D G And you're looking for a drop to drown your blues C It ain′t much, but it'll do, shotgun booze and shootin' pool D G You won′t find The Good Lord′s rules in this dark house of fools Instrumental Break: G C D G C D G C D G C D G Verse 2: G C Oh, here I sit each night, ′neath the cooler′s casting light D G As she rises in the smoke before my eyes C How she twists and she turns, as the square before me burns D G It seems she's tattooed the blues upon my mind Bridge: G Well, in here it′s dim and dark C We've all lived to miss the mark D G Oh, every man′s an equal in disgrace C As the scrambling lunatics sing the golden country hits D G We're united in the wake of our heartbreak Out-Chorus: G C I say if you′re going down to the shady side of town D G And you're looking for a drop to drown your blues C It ain′t much, but it'll do, shotgun booze and shootin' pool D G You won′t find The Good Lord′s rules in this dark house of fools D G No, you won't find The Good Lord′s rules in this dark house of fools
