Play with capo on 1st fret
Intro: A chord -- When you first strum the A, the strings should be open. Immediately hammer
down the A fingerings after the initial attack. Do this throughout the song on A
and also on D. Listen to the recording, you'll get the idea.
A D
Sipping whiskey from a paper cup, You drown your sorrows till you can't stand up,
A E
Take a look at what you've done to yourself, Why don't you, you put the bottle back on the shelf,
A D
Yellow fingered from your cigarettes, Your hands are shaking while your body sweats,
A E D
Why don't you look into Jesus, He got the answer.
A D
Gonorrhea on Valentine's Day (v.d.), And you're still looking for the perfect lay,
A E
You think rock and roll will set you free honey, You'll be dead before you're thirty three,
A D
Shooting junk till you're half insane, Broken needle in your purple vein,
A E D
Why don't you look into Jesus, He got the answer.
E
You work all night, Sleep all day,
You take your money, Throw it all away,
D
You say you're gonna be a super star,
G A
But you've never hung around enough to find out who you really are.
A D
Think back to when you were a child, Your soul was free and your heart ran wild,
A E
Each day was different and life was a thrill, You knew tomorrow would be better still,
A D
But things have changed you're much older now, If you're unhappy and you don't know how,
A E D
Why don't you look into Jesus, He got the answer. (Repeat 5 times)
