This song has some walk-ups in it that I've shown chords for (G G# Am) but the G and G# need only the
root
note played on the walk-up. Not a necessity for the song but I feel it's important.
There is also a little root note walk-up on the 1st and 3rd lines of the verses that I'll show here with
a sample if anyone wants to throw it in there.
G A C
She's got snakes for bones...etc...
[Verse 1]
C G G# Am
She's got snakes for bones, she'll take blood for loans
C G C
Never bring what Kathy said alone to bed
C G G# Am
Mama gon' play along, papa play the whippin' song
C G C
Both heard what Kathy said and they both burned up dead
[Bridge]
G F# Em Em7 Am7
They both crossed me, playin' me for your fool
G F# Em Em7 Em G F# Em
Go on and touch me, ya know she won't stop Ame's got you
[Verse 2]
C G G# Am
Trading fixin' for arms, her lips mask your loss
C G C
Man I'm lost on what Kathy said, Kathy gotta run to keep her head
C G G# Am
Then he waits for the fall, he loses control
