[D] [Em] [Am]
[C] [G] Now me and some [Am] buddies were down by the river [C] there were drinkers and dopers and abstainers [G] by choice
There was red wine and white [Am] lines blue smoke and good [D] times
But when we all [G] sang we had us one [D] voice singing
Let's all go [G] down to the river and [D] midnight will swim muddy [C] waters and [G] pick us a tomb
[D] And we won't give a [Am] damn if it's [Em] rock-bowl [D] country or blue
[G] blues
Well the sirens were [Am] screaming the blue lights are [C] flashing I got me a ride in a humorless [G] car
They read me my rights and they [Am] sensed my [D] conviction.
They said you shall be released when we [Em] know what you [G] are
Well the kangaroo court was now in [Am] session

Windmill Derek wasn't much but [G] about halfway up in the Derek with some [D] crows nest
[C] It's like this bigger round that is made out [G] of barbed wire
[C] Only takes two [Am] to make a murder [D] of crows
[Bm] [G] Well the crows they go in there and catch [Am] baby rattlesnakes

Then line the nest with skin and [Am] bones
