[Intro]
Am G F E7
[Verse 1]
Am William Butler Yeats in jeans G Got up to play guitar and sing F E7 In some joint in Mission Beach last night Am At the door sat Tom Waits G In a pork pie hat and silver skates F E7 Jugglin' three collection plates, Jesus Christ
[Verse 2]
Am Townes Van Zandt standin' at the bar G Skinnin' a Hollywood movie star F Can't remember where he parked his car E7 Or to whom he lost the keys Am Full of angst and hillbilly haiku G What's a poor Ft. Worth boy to do F Go on rhyme something for 'em man E7 Show 'em how you really feel
[Chorus]
F C Ain't no money in poetry G Am That's what sets the poet free F C G I've had all the freedom I can stand F C Cold dog soup and rainbow pie G Am Is all it takes to get me by F C Fool my belly till the day I die G Am Cold dog soup and rainbow pie
[Verse 3]
Am Ginsberg and Kerouac G F Shootin' dice playin' Ramblin' Jack's guitar E7 With the cowboy paintin' pickguard on it Am And they sat in the back and they drank for free G And rhymed orange with Rosalie F E7 Now there's a pride of lions to draw to
[Chorus]
F C Ain't no money in poetry G Am That's what sets the poet free F C G I've had all the freedom I can stand F C Cold dog soup and rainbow pie G Am Is all it takes to get me by F C Fool my belly till the day I die G Am Cold dog soup and rainbow pie
