Standard (EADGBE)

 My daddy told me, lookin back,

The best friend you'll have is a railroad track

 So when I was 13, I said, I'm rollin' my own

 And I'm leavin' Missouri and I'm never comin' home

 And I'm lost

 And I'm lost

 I'm lost at the bottom of the world

 I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar

I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

Satchel Puddin' and Lord God Mose

Sitting by the fire with a busted nose

 That fresh egg yeller is too damn rare

 But the white part is perfect for slickin' down your hair

 And I'm lost

 And I'm lost

 I'm lost at the bottom of the world

 I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar

I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

Blackjack Ruby and Nimrod Cain

 The moon's the color of a coffee stain

jesse Frank and Birdy Joe Hoaks

But who is the king of all these folks?

 And I'm lost

 And I'm lost

 I'm lost at the bottom of the world

 I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar

I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

[Play riff A]

 Well I dined last night with Scarface Ron

 On Telapia fish cakes and fried black swan

Razorweed onion and peacock squirrel

 And I dreamed all night about a beautiful girl

 And I'm lost

 And I'm lost

 I'm lost at the bottom of the world

 I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar

I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

[Play Riff A and B]

 Well God's green hair is where I slept last

 He balanced a diamond on a blade of grass

 Now I woke me up with a cardinal bird

 And when I wanna talk he hangs on every word

 And I'm lost

 And I'm lost

 I'm lost at the bottom of the world

 I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar

I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

[Play riff A 2x + fadeout]
