Hayes Carll – Drunken Poets Dream (Guitar)

A                      D       A
I've got a woman, she's wild as Rome

A                A7           D     A
She likes to lay naked and be gazed upon

    E                                    D
She crosses a bridge and then sets it on fire

A                      D         A
Lands like a bird on a telephone wire

A                      D                 A
Wine bottles scattered like last night's clothes

A                    D      A
Cigarette papers and dominoes

E                                           D
She laughs for a minute about the shape I'm in

A                                 D           A
Says, you be the sinner honey and I'll be the sin

E
I'm gonna holler and I'm gonna scream

D
I'm gonna get me some mescaline

    E
She brings me roses and a place to lean

D                       A  D A
A drunken poet's dream

A                                     D             A
There's some money on the table and a pistol on the floor

A                            D       A
Some old paper back books of Louis L'amour

E                                          D
She says, honey don't worry 'bout judgment day

A                           D         A
Dyin' to get to heaven just ain't our way

E
I'm gonna holler and I'm gonna scream

D
I'm gonna get me some mescaline

    E                                   D
She brings me roses and a place to lean

D                       A  D A
A drunken poet's dream

    Bm
And all my life I laid around

          F#m
While the colors all turned blue

D
Closed my eyes and finally found

          E
It brought me back to you

                                A
I've got a woman, she's wild as Rome

A                             D        A
She likes to lay naked and be gazed upon

She crosses a bridge and then sets it on fire

A                      D         A
Lands like a bird on a telephone wire

I'm gonna holler and I'm gonna scream

D
I'm gonna get me some mescaline

    E                                   D
She brings me roses and a place to lean
