Boz Scaggs – Hell To Pay (Guitar)

A
Well, I got a Senator over in Texas, got me a judge down in New Orleans.

            D                                               A
Bought me a Senator over in Texas and a judge down in New Orleans ummm hummmm

E                                                                      A
Sometimes I call the world my oyster, sweetest little deal you've ever seen.

A
Well, the one kid's high on God knows what and the other one smashed the Benz.

A
Between the bank boys and the lawyers I don't know where it ends.

D
Sometimes I got to wonder about living high on the hog.

A
There's times I wish I'd married me a woman instead of buying this here show dog.

E
Can't say the old man didn't warn me when he's bringin' me judgment day

A
And one little thing I forgot to remember, there's a matter of some hell to pay

A
And then here comes shifty and his new 150, wants to take me for a ride.

A
Saying hey little mamma, how 'bout a little drama. Why don't you just hop in inside?

D
Said I might look like a yokel but I'm high tech mogul with a tiger in my tank

A 
I said oh my goodness, you're a real smooth talker, I believe I'll take that drink.

E 
But first thing buddy, better cool your jets before you make your play

A 
You gotta feed the kitty and oh yes, well there's a matter of some hell to pay.

A
Well, now you got your devil in the details. Got your devil in the cake

A
You can't look around most anywhere that the devil ain't on the take

D
He's waiting on down at the end of the aisle, he's a waiting at the pearly gates.

A
I'd say the man's about everywhere, ubiquitous some might say

E
Truth is he's worn out all us fools, ain't no one left to play

A
He's bored, he's mad, he's all shook up and there's gonna be hell to pay.

A
We've dirtied up the waters and pretty much trashed the earth

A 
The butcher and the baker and everybody else has taken it for all it's worth.

D 
Sayin "me oh my, it was a big old pie and I sure as hell filled my cup"

A 
That Senator's a comin' on a big white horse and the judge is gonna fix me up

E 
but if ya complicate this moment it's time to fight and pray

A 
Cause now it's time for the money shot baby, time's up and there's hell to pay
