i just cleaned up the first tab a little .

tuning : full step down ( D )

Cadd9 G
i guess i’ll never grow a sideburn ,

D Em
its a shame with all i’ve got to go between

Cadd9 G
i hope somebody’s cause takes soon

D Em
its getting hard to find a place a root can sink

Cadd9 G
mama said a lot of things and be thankful was

D Em
the one she never minded saying twice

Cadd9 G
thanks to her i can think clear enough ,

D Em
to be thankful that she died before tonight

chorus : G Am C G C D C

G Am
baby every bone in my bodys gone to jumping

C G
like they’re gonna come through my skin

C
if they could get along without the rest of me ,

D C
it wouldnt matter if they did

G Am
cause skeletons aint got nowhere to stick they’re money

C G
nobody makes britches that size

C
and besides you’re a ghost to most before they notice ,

D C
that you ever had a hair or a hide

Cadd9 G
saving everybody takes a man on a mission

D Em
with a swagger that can set the world at ease

Cadd9 G
some believe it’s god’s own hand on the trigger

and the other dumping water in the streets

Cadd9 G
talking tough is easy when it’s other people’s evil

D Em
and you’re judging what they do or don’t believe

Cadd9 G
it seems to me you’d have to have a hole your own

D Em
to point a finger at somebody else’s sheet

chorus : G Am C G C D C

Am Bm
i don’t know how good it does a man ,

Em
to keep on telling him how good it is he’s free

F C
free to wash his ghost down the drain ,

G
and free for them to tell him there’s no such a thing

chorus : G Am C G C D C
