Capo 7th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
The Bone Daddy lifts his skull
from the piano lid to play
lemme get a whiskey
and peach tea
pistol on the table,
revolver in the holster,
you aint gunna shoot me,
Ive paid my drink fee.
Bodie Currency
(Brown papers dead tree)
The deeds youve done for me,
or the ax to my family tree.
The rag time girl gets groovin
to the keys played by bony
phelanges. Whiskey down,
the cards are
hint of
free and the game is
cheap. But Jimmy always
carrys on, ya see? Losin
gals he pulls his gun on me
Bodie Currency
(Red paper's blood money)
The deeds youve done for me,
or the ax to my family tree.

Bridge
(Clark Kent Bridge:
Hey boy I see you sittin' there
drink your whiskey down
But Bodie Currency ain't of value in my town
So I better see you get on up and go grab your things
Don't you return until the tumbleweed sings...)
(JoJo Bridge:
Hey boy I know you been heckled here and there

but Bodie Currency ain't of value everywhere

When cows go dry

and the Sherrif gets his lonely blues

you might wanna move along 
just like the tumbleweed does)
(Write your own character into the bridge of Bodie's ghost town!)
Tumbleweed
youre smoking buddy.
The goods Ive grownIve paid
my fee. Bodie dont
Remember no Bodie dont remember
democracy,
the folk here
exchange
