Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
The leather souls come
shufflin in stinkin of smoke, and ten cent gin
Now who will toast our noble host, who has this mornin given up the ghost
The wooden coffer hand to hand kind words are offered silent prayers
But she is satisfied the most, while stabbing madly at the roast
Chorus
The rib of Adam the eyes of Eve the sons of Cain will receive no reprieve
The rib of Adam the eyes of Eve the sons of Cain will receive no reprieve
The creditor rides with his men the death of debtors he wont forgive
They repossess his silver eyes, now in the potters field he lies
Chorus
The rib of Adam the eyes of Eve the sons of Cain will receive no reprieve
The rib of Adam the eyes of Eve the sons of Cain will receive no reprieve
Bridge
Waiting for a dead mans shoes have you heard the latest news
Lazarus is back from the dead lookin as one would expect
Dippin with the waters of Sheol babblin bout body and soul
And then he found his wife in their bed buck naked and already wed
The tax collector beneath his sheets the door swings open floor boards creak
Now who will toast our noble host, who has this mornin given up the ghost
Chorus
The rib of Adam the eyes of Eve the sons of Cain will receive no reprieve
The rib of Adam the eyes of Eve the sons of Cain will receive no reprieve
The rib of Adam the eyes of Eve the sons of Cain will receive no reprieve
The rib of Adam the eyes of Eve the sons of Cain will receive, will receive

if you listen to it.
