Over The Wateree Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 No, I really couldn’t sDtay

 What with Bmall of these meetings toF♯ make

 I keep waGking up naked, cAlawed up, and

 sore in a goddDess’s bed every day A

 I’ll take Dpart of the blame

 If I sBmeem a little lost in a daF♯ze

 Every tGime I think I got my Afeet on the ground

 I look dDown

 and the ground moves Aaway

 It goes shaking awBmay

 I look down and Athe ground moves awGay

 Why the Bmhell would I want any Dmoney?

 With all these Bmacres of anger to Dfarm,

 A quiet undersBmtanding with manhDood, and

 a fist full of feaEmthers and yAarn?

 I’m Emwading oF♯ver the WGateree

 To lEmay me dF♯own in the shade of the Gtrees

 In the shAade of the trees D

 I’ve been sDpeaking in tongues

 With the Bmbreath of gods in my F♯lungs

 I’ve been Gchanneling Ponce de ALeon

 Swallowing Dsunlight, and coming uAndone

 I remember how Dtenderness tastes

 I can Bmstill see the smile on her F♯face

 When she Gspotted me drunk on the Atrunk of the car

 in KentDucky on the day of the Arace

 Laughing "My, what a Bmwaste!"

 Howling "AMy, what a pitiful Gwaste!"

 Why the Bmhell would I want any Dwhiskey?

 When I done Bmshot out the lights on the Dstreet

 With a Bmkerosene lantern in one Dhand and

 The mysteries of Emmanhood clamped in my Ateeth

 I’m Emwading oF♯ver the WGateree

 To lEmay me dF♯own in the shade of the Gtrees

 In the shAade of the trees D

 In the dark at the Dtop of the stairs

 We were Bmway to wasted to F♯care

 Our naiGveté beadeAd like sweat on the walls,

 hell, it Dhung like honey in the Aair

 But, hey, what’s aD memory or two

 In the Bmcycle of planets and F♯moons?

 If I camGe here to claim the Alifeless remains

 of my Dwildest dreams, I should Aknow what to do

 I ought to know whatBm to do

 I Ashould know what toG do

 Why the Bmhell would I want MarF♯ijuana?

 With all these mounGtains of madness to mAove

 When the BmMartian marauders come F♯marching

 they'll march without manhoGod

 stuck to their sAhoes

 I’m Emwading oF♯ver the WGateree

 To lEmay me dF♯own in the shade of the Gtrees

 In the shAade of the trees D
