DRUNKEN POET'S DREAM - HAYES CARLL
[Verse]
A D A
IVE GOT A WOMAN, SHE'S WILD AS ROME
A A7 D A
SHE LIKES TO LAY NAKED AND BE GAZED UPON
E D
SHE CROSSES A BRIDGE AND THEN SETS IT ON FIRE
A D A
LANDS LIKE A BIRD ON A TELEPHONE WIRE
WINE BOTTLES SCATTERED LIKE LAST NIGHTS CLOTHES
CIGARETTE PAPERS AND DOMINOES
SHE LAUGHS FOR A MINUTE ABOUT THE SHAPE I'M IN
SAYS, YOU BE THE SINNER HONEY AND ILL BE THE SIN
[Chorus]
E
I'M GONNA HOLLER AND I'M GONNA SCREAM
D
IM GONNA GET ME SOME MESCALINE
E
SHE BRINGS ME ROSES AND A PLACE TO LEAN
D A D A
A DRUNKEN POETS DREAM
[Verse]
THERE'S SOME MONEY ON THE TABLE
AND A PISTOL ON THE FLOOR
SOME OLD PAPER BACK BOOKS OF LOUIS L'AMOUR
SHE SAYS, HONEY DON'T WORRY BOUT JUDGMENT DAY
DYIN' TO GET TO HEAVEN JUST AIN'T OUR WAY
[REPEAT CHORUS]
[Bridge]
Bm
AND ALL MY LIFE I LAID AROUND
Fm
WHILE THE COLORS ALL TURNED BLUE
D
CLOSED MY EYES AND FINALLY
E
FOUND IT BROUGHT ME BACK TO YOU
[Verse]
IVE GOT A WOMAN, SHES WILD AS ROME
SHE LIKES TO LAY NAKED AND BE GAZED UPON
SHE CROSSES A BRIDGE AND THEN SETS IT ON FIRE
LANDS LIKE A BIRD ON A TELEPHONE WIRE
REPEAT CHORUS
[NOTE: Hayes plays this with a capo at the 2nd fret]
