Drive-By Truckers – Made Up English Oceans (Guitar)

Bm                                A
Six-by-nine and counting down, in one after the other

           Em                            G
They'll go running up and down the road, angry as their mothers

     Bm                               A
Over senseless acts of selfishness on made up English oceans

    Em                               G
And made up English stomach contents tied to senseless notions

Bm                                          A
See, once you grab them by the pride, their hearts are bound to follow

      Em                            G
Their natural fear of anything less manly or less natural

     Bm                                   A
Then gun-less sheriffs caught on lonesome roads and live to tell it

    Em                            G                       Bm
How hard it is for meaner men without the lead to sell it

Bm                                A
Cause only simple men can see the logic in whatever

        Em                                G
Smarter men can whittle down till you can fit it on a sticker

       Bm                         A
Get it stuck like mud and bugs to names that set the standard

        Em                                     G                           Bm
They'll live it like it's gospel, and they'll quote it like it's scripture

Bm                                A
Six-by-nine and counting down, in one after the other

           Em                            G
They'll go running up and down the road, angry as their mothers

     Bm                               A
Over senseless acts of selfishness on made up English oceans

    Em                               G                         Bm
And made up English stomach contents tied to senseless notions

Bm                                          A
It's no matter if they dress real nice, and sit up straight and stupid

    Em                                 G
And say their prayers in quiet ancient tongues

           Bm                                               A
They're no different than the ones who close their eyes and fall down to the ground

    Em                                       G    Bm
And twitch like all their nerves have come undone

Bm                                A
So be it if they come to find out feeling good's as easy

   Em                                   G
As denying that there's day or night at all

Bm                                          A
Till what it takes to feel a thing seems so far out of reach

          Em                                         G
They just claw their skin, and grind their teeth and bawl
