Intro: G Gadd4 G5 Gadd4 G5 Gadd4 G
(played twice)
Verse: Em G5
There's a Yankee in the Cumberland
Em G5
With a pistol in his boot
Em G5
Dreamin' about salty water
D
And he's lookin for a snake to shoot
Chorus: G Gadd4 G5 Gadd4
I'm thinkin' it won't get any worse
G5 Gadd4 G Gadd4
I'm thinkin' about buyin' you a hat and a purse
G Gadd4/add9 G5
I'm wishin' I never came here
G5 Gadd4 G
You know my heart was ever sincere
And every now and then I realize
You are rhythm you are melody
Giving me that silent torture
You might as well poison my tea
I'm thinkin' it won't get any worse
I'm thinkin' about buyin' you a hat and a purse
I'm thinkin' about strangling you
You know that never was more untrue
(Thinkin' about predestination
Predestination and free will
What about that wonderful plan)
There's a Christian underneath his house
Trying to recall the light
He's prayin' for divine intervention
His lips are frozen to the pipe
(are frozen to the pipe)
I'm thinkin' it can't get any worse
I'm thinkin' about buying you a hat and a purse
I'm dreamin' about thrilling you
Oh honey my heart was never more true
You know my heart was never more true
Notes:
Pretty straight forward. Listen to the album for the rhythm. Some of
the chords maybe in the wrong places, I apologize. Not really a whole
ton of odd effects here other than some distortion. (courtesy of Mike
