Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Something like:

320003 ->330003 ->320003 ->000 - 200 - 320

G Gsus4 run on 6th string (E-F#-G)

He does this little run throughout the song,

at the end of many phrases.

Drivin on down into the alley

 To see what the cat drug in

 Larry faced down in the trash can

 Jimmy got the shakes again

 Jimmy what you doin with yourself man

 Jimmy hows it hangin kid

 Whats Larry doin in the trash can

Jimmy says he's looking for the lid

I got to get me a buzz

 I got to get me a buzz of some kind

Just to lift these worried blues up off my worried mind

Skippin on down to see my Hannah

 She got the red dress on

 Do what you want with you kettle jar mama

 Don't you blow the saxophone

 Skippin on down to see my hannah

 Give her there's a dollar bill

 She said "give me four more

 You can close that door

Do with me what you will"

I got to get me a buzz

 I got to get me a buzz of some kind

Just to lift these worried blues up off my worried mind

Papa said son you take a nickel

 Lay it down on the tracks

 Papa said son you take a nickel

 It'll be one-half a dollar when you get it back

Papa left Mama with nothing

 Nothing but a kitchen sink

Ninety pound hoe

Feel like a dog

Whole lot of mouths to feed

I got to get me a buzz

 I got to get me a buzz of some kind

Just to lift these worried blues up off my worried mind
