Capo on 2nd fret (verse 1) D A G C I'm a broke down wreck with a ball and chain D A G C Just sitting in the kitchen with my fortune and fame D A G C There's a monkey in a mask and he's calling my name F C There's a midget on his back, G D A Hes waiting for the midnight train A, Em, G, D (2x) D C A Cause were pulling up stakes F G Gotta load up the car D C A Get my right beat back F G Do some air guitar F C Cause Im running from the air-jets G D Inside of my head F On my bed C G With a leg full of lead F We're trading gold for bread (same as verse 1) Well the militarized mistress yeah you sink like a stone Well I'm out here on the sidewalk where the buffalo roam I can see it in your crystal dancing in like a storm Blowing dusty through the kitchen While you're standing in your high heels in your hall A, Em, G, D (2X) D C A Cause were pulling up stakes F G Gotta load up the car D C A Get my right beat back F G Do some air guitar F C Cause Im running from the air-jets G D Inside of my head F On my bed C G With a leg full of lead F We're trading gold for bread (Same as verse 1) Yeah there's this choice you gotta make and itll cut to the coil Like a preacher throwing dice instead of seeds on the soil There's a lady and her lover and the'yre covered in oil Slipping down through the cracks With the attack and a face full of foil A, Em, G, D (2x) D C A Cause were pulling up stakes F G Gotta load up the car D C A Get my right beat back F G Do some air guitar F C Cause Im running from the air-jets G D Inside of my head F On my bed C G With a leg full of lead F We're trading gold for bread
