   E MajorE
Here we are now where are we?
It's like nothing I've ever seen

 E MajorE
We got horse throated huckster's whispered gimmicks
Rubbernecking all the curious cynics
And headlong walkers, one born every minute

BB
Do I plug it in or do I stick it in it?

 D MajorD            E MajorE
Well, I don't know what came over me
 D MajorD          E MajorE
I'm too dumb for words
 D MajorD                E MajorE
Well, I didn't think I'd like it here at all
  D MajorD                 E MajorE
But I swear, I swear I'm on the verge

   E MajorE
Here we are now who are you?

The long lost gueens of some hoodoo?

 E MajorE
Well, we're the last of the big time penetrators

Playing dead to fuck the undertaker

The movie'll come out a little bit later

The Men, The 🏷Legend, The Goat, The Saytr

   D MajorD             E MajorE
Well, I don't know what came over me
   D MajorD       E MajorE
I'm too dumb for words
  D MajorD             E MajorE
Well, I didn't say I'd like it here at all
  D MajorD               E MajorE
But I swear, I swear I'm on the verge

no chords: play solo riff
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge

E MajorE
Here we are now don't ask how
The time to leave was kind of now

  E MajorE
Well, don't cry, baby, there's no cause for grief
Deadheading's never going to kill the chief
It's an empty road without relief
And I'm a highway romance milking thief

 D MajorD                E MajorE
Well, I don't know what came over me
 D MajorD          E MajorE
I'm too dumb for words
  D MajorD                  E MajorE
Well, I didn't think I'd like it here at all
    D MajorD             E MajorE
But I swear, I swear I'm on the verge

 D MajorD          E MajorE
I'm too dumb for words
  D MajorD                  E MajorE
Well, I didn't think I'd like it here at all
  D MajorD              E MajorE
But I swear, I swear I'm on the verge

[same solo riffs, anyone
wanna give it a shot?]
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge
