David Allan Coe ? A Sense of Humor
Capo 1
F
Every night another woman
Bb
Every day a different town
C
If I'm not accused of speeding
F
I'm accused of coming down
With a legal dose of something
Bb
That you heard was going 'round
C F
And you wondered why I lost my Sense of Humor.
F
Every song another record
Bb
Every day just like a clock
C
Knowing well I've had to take it
F
Till I make it to the top
With the devil right behind me
Bb
And my heart about to stop
C F
Then you wondered why I lost my Sense of Humor.
Bb
Twenty years I was in prison
F
More than that I was alone
Bb
Some lily-white reporter
C
Thinks it's time that I was stoned
F
Without sin, he wrote the story
Bb
And it chilled me to the bone
C F
Then he wondered why I lost my Sense of Humor.
F
I shaved my beard and cut my hair off
Bb
It don't matter anyhow
C
It was truth that told the answers
F
To the questions up till now
"Crucify him," someone shouted
Bb
From the safety of the crowd
C F
Then they wondered why I lost my Sense of Humor.
F
Hey, take them crosses from my doorstep
Bb
There's no reason to my rhyme
C
Everybody knows somebody
F
Will take care of me in time
I made friends of all you stand for
Bb
But the blind can't lead the blind
C F
Just be glad I haven't lost my Sense of Humor.
C F
Just be glad I haven't lost my Sense of Humor
'Cause if I ever catch you I'm gonna kick your ass.
