Chords for Ian Noe "Methhead" | Live At Chicago Music Exchange | CME Sessions

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] I saw him down in a dump
[Gm] Hurling arm loads of junk
Into a pickup
Bound for the [C] yard
_ [G] He was skittish and strange
[Gm] Like a wild dog with [Fm] mange
And there [C] was blood
Where his veins [G] ran hard
_ Wading deep through the grime
He found [Gm] a long copper line
Then [Dm] he jumped [Gm] up
Leaped to [C] the ground
_ [G] And he thought he'd struck gold
The [Gm] weight kicked and he [Fm] rolled
And [C] like a bandit he tore [G] out of town
_ _ But whoa now, [Gm] he's out on the prowl
You better get up and go [C] back inside
Cause [G] he's loose on the land
[Gm] Getting all that he can
And there won't be nowhere [C] to hide
_ [G] Yeah, he's crawling his way
To [Gm] that fix for the day
You [Dm] won't stop him
He's bent to be [C] fed
_ [G] He's the low heathen kind
[Gm] With a shit mangled mind
[C] The desperate fucking [G] meth head
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ There [G] was a girl tall and thin
[Gm] With scabbed [F] yellow skin
[D] Decided to rest up
I won't [Gm] soon [C] forget
She [G] was digging at a rash
[Gm] Trying to deal for some cash
[C] Saying baby I'm clean [G] and I'm wet
I just kept pacing by
[Bb] Swatting through the [F] [Dm] flies
And her stench rancid and [C] stout
[G] While she stood there crying [Gm] pleas
With her fist between [F] her [C] knees
And the sores draining [G] round her mouth _ _ _
Whoa now, [Gm] she's out [F] on the prowl
[Dm] You better get up and go [Bb] back [C] inside
Cause [G] she's loose on the land
[Gm] Getting all that she [F] can
And [Dm] there won't be nowhere [Gm] to [C] hide
_ [G] Yeah, she'll bum and she'll beg
[Gm] And she'll gnaw at your [F] leg
You [Dm] can't kill her
She's [Gm] already [C] dead
_ [G] She's the empty eyed soul
[Bb] The zombie like foe
[C] The fiend and fucking [G] meth head
_ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ It'll [G] be dark pretty soon
They [Gm] love to lurk [F] by the moon
[Dm] So I'm [G] out back [C] shoveling the dirt
I'm [G] gonna dig me a hole
[Gm] As deep as I [F] can go
And when [C] they fall I'm gonna [G] cover them up
_ _ Whoa now, [Gm] they're out on the [F] [Dm] prowl
You better get up and go back [C]
inside
[G] Cause they're sweeping the land
[Gm] Getting all [F] that they can
[Dm] And there won't be nowhere to [C]
hide
[G] They've got a taste on their tongues
[Bb] Their fates have been [Dm] hung
It's a fever that's [Gm] already [C]
spread
_ [G] From out far and wide
They're [Bb] the fit to be tied
The [C] worthless _ fucking [G] meth head
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [F] _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
