^CClose one ^Gthere ^DChoking in clean ^Amunderwear ^CBleeding t^Gongue ^DEight ball poundi^Amng in my lungs ^CShip to sh^Gore ^DI can't see the c^Amoastline anymore ^CI shouldn'^Gt be here ^DI thought I made ^Amthat loud and clear

[Chorus]

^CBut the master of^G disaster Gets t^Dangled in his ^Amtelecaster ^CHe can't play it ^Gany faster W^Dhen he plays the b^Amlues ^CWhen he had the heart to a^Gsk her And e^Dvery note just s^Amhook the plaster ^CNow he's just a m^Gean old bastard ^DWhen he plays the ^Amblues

Verse 2: China town Chasing that old dragon down Madam Wong's We play the blues with the curtains drawn Sidewalks of white While the LA sun beat out the night Pounding brain My last transmission down the drain [Chorus] Verse 3: There's a debt I owe I'll never pay before I go So I sing the blues Hand me down my walking shoes You're in my heart Though we may be miles apart There's my point I'll see you in another joint [Chorus]
