Over The Wateree Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

No, I really couldn’t sDtay

What with Bmall of these meetings toF♯ make

I keep waGking up naked, cAlawed up, and

sore in a goddDess’s bed every day A

I’ll take Dpart of the blame

If I sBmeem a little lost in a daF♯ze

Every tGime I think I got my Afeet on the ground

I look dDown

and the ground moves Aaway

It goes shaking awBmay

I look down and Athe ground moves awGay

Why the Bmhell would I want any Dmoney?

With all these Bmacres of anger to Dfarm,

A quiet undersBmtanding with manhDood, and

a fist full of feaEmthers and yAarn?

I’m Emwading oF♯ver the WGateree

To lEmay me dF♯own in the shade of the Gtrees

In the shAade of the trees D

I’ve been sDpeaking in tongues

With the Bmbreath of gods in my F♯lungs

I’ve been Gchanneling Ponce de ALeon

Swallowing Dsunlight, and coming uAndone

I remember how Dtenderness tastes

I can Bmstill see the smile on her F♯face

When she Gspotted me drunk on the Atrunk of the car

in KentDucky on the day of the Arace

Laughing "My, what a Bmwaste!"

Howling "AMy, what a pitiful Gwaste!"

Why the Bmhell would I want any Dwhiskey?

When I done Bmshot out the lights on the Dstreet

With a Bmkerosene lantern in one Dhand and

The mysteries of Emmanhood clamped in my Ateeth

I’m Emwading oF♯ver the WGateree

To lEmay me dF♯own in the shade of the Gtrees

In the shAade of the trees D

D D Bm A G

In the dark at the Dtop of the stairs

We were Bmway to wasted to F♯care

Our naiGveté beadeAd like sweat on the walls,

hell, it Dhung like honey in the Aair

But, hey, what’s aD memory or two

In the Bmcycle of planets and F♯moons?

If I camGe here to claim the Alifeless remains

of my Dwildest dreams, I should Aknow what to do

I ought to know whatBm to do

I Ashould know what toG do

Why the Bmhell would I want MarF♯ijuana?

With all these mounGtains of madness to mAove

When the BmMartian marauders come F♯marching

they'll march without manhoGod

stuck to their sAhoes

I’m Emwading oF♯ver the WGateree

To lEmay me dF♯own in the shade of the Gtrees

In the shAade of the trees D
