Hey, love this song, thought I'd tab it out since Shakey doesn't have enough tabs
around. Enjoy.
The song is played with a capo on the second fret, but you can also play without a
capo or with barre chords if you want.
(The Am-C progression in the verses is played with Am for three bars and C for one)
Verse 1:
E B7 Am C
Well the cold has a hard time finding me
E B7 Am C
Unlike some folks I know
E B7 Am C
Yeah all the men down in union square
E B7 Am
Are worried about the snow
Am
When your pockets fill
C
With dollar bills
Am C
Your heart forgets to eat
E B7
Its a wicked thing
E
It owns this street
Chorus:
E Am C Am C
Yeah fix your boots or take me home says quick monique the freak
E Am C Am C
I need an easy dollar are you trick or are you treat
E
Well if she was six teeth younger and if i had half a mind
B7 E
Id carry her away from that wicked thing outside
Verse 2:
E B7 Am C
Well i saw a carried bundle
E B7 Am C
that has fingers eyes and toes
E B7 Am C
As a father of deception
E B7 Am
i have never raised a soul
Am C Am C
It’s a purchase captured second hand and cherished more than gold
E B7 E
It’s a shelter from that wicked thing that wanders in the night
Chorus:
E Am C Am C
Yeah fix your boots or take me home says quick monique the freak
E Am C Am C
I need an easy dollar are you trick or are you treat
E
Well if she was six teeth younger and if i had half a mind
B7 E
I’d carry her away from that wicked thing outside
Am C Am C
The water on the dirty streets has all but turned to ice
E B7 E
To pave the road for wicked things that wander in the night
