Capo 5th Fret

Intro:

G+G G6sus4 G+G (x2)


Verse:

G+G             G6sus4          G+G
This hobo jungle’s not the place for us mama
         G6b5   G6sus4
But it’s where we ended up tonight
  C majorC     C/BC/B          E minorEm
My steps are unsure and I need you mama
      A7A7                 C majorC
You deserve more and I’ll do my best to make it right

       G+G      G6sus4           G+G
They told me long ago to do my daddy’s bidding
         G6b5        G6sus4
Work your job and do your love one’s proud
     C majorC        C/BC/B       E minorEm
But I’ve stumbled down a trail they never dreamed of
    A7A7             C majorC
On to a land they never made a map about


Chorus:

  C majorC                 G+G    D MajorD
So drag that blade across my face now honey
C majorC         B7B7
Clean this drifter up
C majorC                 G+G    G6b5
Tomorrow I’ll go scare us up some money
    G6sus4              G+G
But for now let’s just clean me up


G+G  G6sus4  G+G


Verse:

            G6sus4             G+G
We don’t have much but what we have is whiskey
           G6b5       G6sus4
So tonight let’s just grin and tip the cup
    C majorC     C/BC/B     E minorEm
As for me I would happy to see fifty
      A7A7     C majorC
But I’m not giiiiiiving up

       G+G     G6sus4            G+G
The smell of woodsmoke used to make me happy
           G6b5      G6sus4
The empty sky and the freedom of the road
  C majorC       C/BC/B     E minorEm
But now its just another hobo jungle
       A7A7         C majorC
Old patch of ground and an early snow


Chorus:

  C majorC                 G+G    D MajorD
So drag that blade across my face now honey
C majorC         B7B7
Clean this drifter up
C majorC                 G+G    G6b5
Tomorrow I’ll go scare us up some money
    G6sus4              G+G
But for now let’s just clean me up
