Start Jamming...
[E] [Gb] This is another song that came out of that New York trip.
This is the first time I ever met a prostitute.
And her name was Crip-on [N] Freak, and she was sitting on the subway [Gbm] next to me.
And her angle was like,
[Gb] Yo, I like your boots.
[G] Uh, you need to fix them or go home with me.
I was like, oh, that's okay.
But she was a trip, she was a really, she rapped her name at me.
My name is Crip-on.
Which is perfect, it was great.
But, uh, [Gbm] this is a song about the [Bb] city.
You might want to [F] listen to it.
[C] [Bbm]
[F] [C] [Bbm]
[Fm]
Yeah, well, the cold [Cm] is a hard [Bbm] time finding me
[Fm] I'm like the [C] stuff folks [Bbm] I know
[Db] Yeah, all [C] the men [Bbm] now
swear [Fm] are worried [Cm] about the [Bbm] snow
Yeah, when your pocket's filled with dog tails
Boy, your heart won't get to me
[F] Yeah, it's a wicked thing
[C] that owns [Fm] this town
[F] Boy, it's so true
Take me home, sweet mommy
[Bbm]
[F] I'll keep on the tree, I'll keep the tree
[Bbm]
[F] Half of that, half of mine
[F] I'm carrying her [C] away
from that wicked [F] thing outside
Take me home, [C] sweet mommy
Oh, that song can't be sung [Fm] alone
[Fm] That happy bird's eyes and [Bbm] that focus
That's a problem [C] for [Bbm] us
I [Fm] have never [Bbm] raised a soul
Boy, it's a [Db] burden to set me
[Bbm] That cherries are more than [Db] gold
Yeah, it's [F] a shelter from [C] everything
That won't do to look [Fm] old
Boy, it's like [C] snow
It's a constant longing to be
[Db]
[Bbm] Lord, I'll keep the [Bbm]
[F]
[F] younger,
lower than I had half of mine
I'll carry her away
from [Bbm] that wicked thing [Fm] outside
Oh, and [Bbm] the water runs [Cm] cold
And the [Db] dirt screams
[Bbm] Oh, and the song of the dirt
[Db] You're out [Fm] for a pay-roll
You can [C] keep the water
[C] You
[Fm]
[F]
can keep the water
[C]
