Chords with lyrics

Verse:

                  G+G
Well, you don't put beans in chilli


     C majorC         G+G
You never water good whiskey down

And you never play poker with a man named 'Doc'


    A7A7         D MajorD
On the Spanish side of town

Verse:

      G+G
But if you wanna go sleeping with the doctor's daughter


     C majorC          A7A7
You gotta pay the old man his bread


    G+G           E7E7
It's a short, short ride from Hell to heaven

Ridin' on a bowl of red

She got bull meat hangin' up above her head


A7A7             D MajorD
Chilli peppers down at her feet

Sop it up with sourdough bread

Let it boil all day, you'll be rollin' in the hay


 C majorC           A7A7
Lorene keeps a man well fed
