[Em] [Bb] I [C] am [G] [A]
[G] a [C] [G]
man that makes no sense.
Well, I bow to the priest while I worship the wind.
But it's why I'm a apple of your pretty eye.
A snake in a wood [C] pile.
Why [G]
I'm still here dancing with the grueb rough [C] skin.
[D] [G]
[F] [C] Out of [Bb] my head [C] I live for the [Gm] road.
[F] [C] So when my ghost takes me from you.
[F] [C] You can't remember the fool [G] that I [A] am.
[C] Don't cry [G] baby, don't [F] cry.
It's the lose [Am] and the win of the [C] world.
Wrong and right us [G] and them of the world.
[F] It's the you and [A] the me of the [C] world.
Only one [E] way out of the [F] world.

Why I'm climbing out of my monkey [C] tree.
Why I'm [G]
still here dancing with the grueb rough [C] skin.
[G] We'll be drinking big whiskey while we dance and sing.
When my story ends it's gonna end with him.
Heaven or hell I'm going there with the grueb rough skin.
Why I am the apple of your pretty eye.
[C] [G] Why I'm the snake in the woodpile.
[C] Why I'm [G]
forever dancing with the grueb rough skin.
[F] [A]

[C] Don't cry [G] baby, [F] don't [G] cry.
