The Ballad Of Country Dick chords by Mojo Nixon

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse:
G
Country Dick was a man
C          G
Big as the Rio Grande
                          D
His voice did boom like thunder
G
But that evil rotten turd
          G
Mr. Mike Perv
G
Laid Country Dick six feet under

Verse:
         G
Country Dick played the drums
              C      G
Like he was fuckin' nuns
G               D
Behind the rectory
         D
He was pure rock 'n roll
C             G
Chaos in his soul
            D       G
He came to set us free

Verse:
         C
Country Dick had three wives
G
He told them bald-faced lies
                         D
With women he sure was brave
G
But that evil rotten turd
C         G
Mr. Mike Perv
              D            G
Laid Country Dick in his grave
G
(Put him down)

Verse:
G
Country Dick was our king
      C           G
The truth he did sing
                     D
He died mid-song on stage
G
Killed by record company cheaters
C              G
Bean-counting wife beaters
G
He would not be a slave

Verse:
      C
But friend, don't be sad
G
'Cause Country Dick is dead
G                   D
His voice raves on forever
G
And this big ol' planet Earth
C                G
Has just given birth
                     D               G
To a brand new hell-raisin' trouble makers

Verse:
G
Let's hoist a glass to our friend
          C         G
Let the drinkin' begin
G                        D
Eat some 'shrooms right now
      G
Play poker 'til dawn
C            G
Dean Martin records on
G
And all rear back and begin to howl

Put Country Dick six feet under
