[Verse 1]
C E7
On the day when I was born
F Am
Daddy sat down and cried.
F C G
I had the mark just as plain as day;
D7 G7
Which could not be denied.
C E7
They say that Cain caught Abel
F Am
Rollin' loaded dice;
F C G
Ace of Spades behind his ear
F E7
And him not thinkin' twice.
Am
Halfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo
F C G
Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye
F C G
Half a cup of Rock and Rye.
F C G
Farewell to you old Southern skies
Am E7
I'm on my way, on my way.
Am Ammaj7 Am7 D9
F Dm B7 E7
Am Ammaj7 Am7 D9
F Am D7 G7
C E7
If all you got to live for
F Am
Is what you left behind,
F C G
Get yourself a powder charge
D7 G7
And seal that silver mine.
C E7
Lost my boots in transit, babe,
F Am
A pile of smokin' leather.
F C G
I nailed a retread to my feet
F E7
And prayed for better weather.
[Chorus]
C E7
They say that when your ship comes in,
F Am
The first man takes the sails;
F C G
The second takes the afterdeck,
D7 G7
The third the planks and rails
C E7
What's the point of callin' shots;
F Am
This cue ain't straight in line.
F C G
Cue ball's made of Styrofoam
F E7
And no one's got the time.
A D A D
Across the Rio Grandeeo, Across the lazy river.
