This is mostly played with the low D, A, and middle D strings. The first line of the Intro can be
played with the first line of the Verse, and the rest can be played by picking the chords that are
shown below.
There are some fill in picking notes (see D chord) between what I have tabbed out, but I didn't want to
take up space with what you can probably fill in yourself however is comfortable for you.

[Verse 1]
D
Got a busted gut, I can't feel a thing
G D
Busted gut, I can't feel a thing

Phone keeps ringin' but the birds stop singin, there's a reason I believe in the dreams and the visions
E A
Are better than the screens, that scroll by fishin for
A
Another reason to get mad
[Verse 2]
D
But a busted gut, I can't feel a thing

Old man yellin' at the TV station, what the hell happened to the imagination

Pickin' on pills, in extreme aggitation
A
You got a reason to get mad

With a busted gut, I can't feel a thing

And it gets so hot, man I hate it when it's humid
A
That ain't a reason to get mad
[Chorus]
D
With a busted gut, I can't feel a thing

Busted gut, I can't feel a thing

World is a cushion, me I'm just a pin

Life is a tonic, guess I'll have a gin
