[E] [F#] [A]
[E] [C#] [A]
[E] [A] Bad
[E] [A]
[E] luck comes in from [A] Tampa, [E] bad luck comes in [A] from Tampa.
On the back of [E] a truck, doing 90 of [B] the interstate.
We have bad [E] dreams the [A] 90 rolls in, [E] we have bad dreams the 90 rolls [A] in.
And [E] we try to keep our [B] spirits high, but [E] they flay and they wane.
When the truck [F#] pulls up [A] out front in the light [B] spring rain.
And they [E] say, like withering [A] flowers,
[E] let the good times [F#] roll
[A] on through these first few [B] desperate hours.
[A] [E] [G#]
[A] [E]
[A] [E]
[A]
[E] And the driver drops his cargo [A] in the curb, [E] the driver drops his cargo [A] in the curb.
And the sun [E] peeks in like a killer [B] through the curt.
And when cloven [E] hoof prints turn [A] up in the garden, [E] yeah,
when cloven hoof prints turn up in the [A] garden.
We keep up the [E] good fight to keep our [B] spirits light.
But [E] they crawl like blinds,
[F#] and
there's a stomach [A] churning shift in the way the [B] land lines.
And [E] they lean like [A] towers
[D] [F#] on a hillside struggling [A] to stand
through these first few desperate [B] hours.
Yeah.
