Chords

[Verse 1]
G         D        A                Bm
Close one there    Choking in clean underwear

G        D         A                         Bm
Bleeding tongue    Eight ball pounding in my lungs

G       D        A                         Bm
Ship to shore    I can't see the coastline anymore

G              D        A                   Bm
I shouldn't be here   I thought I made that loud and clear
[Chorus]
G                 D            A                   Bm
But the master of disaster     Gets tangled in his telecaster

G                    D          A                 Bm
He can't play it any faster     When he plays the blues

G                        D             A                           Bm
When he had the heart to ask her     And every note just shook the plaster

G                        D             A                Bm
Now he's just a mean old bastard      When he plays the blues
[Solo] G D A Bm x2 [Verse 2]
G     D
China town

A                Bm
Chasing that old dragon down

G     D
Madam Wong's

A                          Bm
We play the blues with the curtains drawn

G            D
Sidewalks of white

A                     Bm
While the LA sun beat out the night

G        D
Pounding brain

A                     Bm
My last transmission down the drain
[Chorus]
G                 D            A                   Bm
But the master of disaster     Gets tangled in his telecaster

When he had the heart to ask her     And every note just shook the plaster

G                        D             A                Bm
Now he's just a mean old bastard      When he plays the blues
[Solo] G D A Bm x4 [Verse 3]
G                D
There's a debt I owe

A              Bm
I'll never pay before I go

G             D
So I sing the blues

A                  Bm
Hand me down my walking shoes

G            D
You're in my heart

A                Bm
Though we may be miles apart

G          D
There's my point

A               Bm
I'll see you in another joint
[Chorus]
G                 D            A                   Bm

When he had the heart to ask her     And every note just shook the plaster

G                        D             A                Bm
Now he's just a mean old bastard      When he plays the blues
[Outro]
G                        D             A                Bm
Now he's just a mean old bastard      When he plays the blues
