John Hiatt - Master Of Disaster Chords

MASTER OF DISASTER

Capo at the second fret

Verse 1:
C         G
Close one there
D                Am
Choking in clean underwear
C         G
Bleeding tongue
D                Am
Eight ball pounding in my lungs
C         G
Ship to shore
D                Am
I can't see the coastline anymore
C         G
I shouldn't be here
D                Am
I thought I made that loud and clear

[Chorus]

C                G               D             Am
But the master of disaster Gets tangled in his telecaster
C                G           D                 Am
He can't play it any faster When he plays the blues
C                         G           D               Am
When he had the heart to ask her And every note just shook the plaster
C                G               D                 Am
Now he's just a mean old bastard When he plays the blues

Verse 2:

China town
Chasing that old dragon down
Madam Wong's
We play the blues with the curtains drawn
Sidewalks of white
While the LA sun beat out the night
Pounding brain
My last transmission down the drain

[Chorus]

Verse 3:

There's a debt I owe
I'll never pay before I go
So I sing the blues
Hand me down my walking shoes
You're in my heart
Though we may be miles apart
There's my point
I'll see you in another joint

[Chorus]
