[E] [E]
It's been a long time since I've spoken to you.
[A] [E] Was it the right time?
Your current troubles, and you know they'll get much worse.
[A] I hope you [G] know [E] how much I enjoy them.
You're a clear-billed person.
There's a justice in this world.
[A] [E]
Hey, how about that?
Your lack of conscience and your lack of morality.
But [Db] more and [G] more people [E] know all about it.
[C] [Db] [E] You remember that song by a dude named Bobby Fuller?
[C]
[Bb] [C] [Bb] It went [E] like this, I fought the lone, alone one.
We sat around the other night, me and the guys.
[A]
[E] Trying to find the right word.
Every place I read, and subscribed.
[A]
[Em] You people [E] like it, that no principle is judged.
No principle is baptized.
[E]
How about that?
Rudy, Chef, they say it tasted good.
[A] If [Em] there was some money in it.
[E]
[C]
[Em] Hey, you remember that [C] song by [E] this guy named [Dm] Texas [E] Sweeney?
Bobby Fuller?
[C]
[E] [C] [Bb] Sing it like [E] this, I fought the lone, alone one.
I fought the lone, alone one.
[Em] [E]
[Em] You're [A] just dirt.
You're [E] just dirt.
The only word for [A] you is dirt.
That's the only [E] word they've heard.
[Em] You're just dirt.
They call your words, cheek, [A] cheek, dirt.
You know they [E] call you cheek, cheek, [Em] cheek, [A] cheek.
You're just dirt.
[E] That's just cheek, cheek, [G] cheek, cheek.
[A] Uptown, [E] you're just dirt.
Nothing [Em] but cheek, uptown dirt.
That's all [E] your word is just cheek, cheek, uptown dirt.
That's all your word is.
You're just dirt.
Cheek, cheek, cheek, cheek, uptown dirt.
Cheek, cheek, cheek, cheek.
