Chords

Hey, love this song, thought I'd tab it out since Shakey doesn't have enough tabs around. Enjoy. The song is played with a capo on the second fret, but you can also play without a capo or with barre chords if you want. (The Am-C progression in the verses is played with Am for three bars and C for one) [Verse 1]
             Em              B7          Am                      C
Well the cold has a hard time finding me

Em            B7               Am            C
Unlike some folks I know

    Em            B7              Am                  C
Yeah all the men down in union square

    Em            B7           Am
Are worried about the snow

Am
When your pockets fill

C
With dollar bills

Am                            C
Your heart forgets to eat

         Em                        B7
Its a wicked thing

                   Em
It owns this street
[Chorus]
         Em                                                            Am   C   Am   C
Yeah fix your boots or take me home says quick monique the freak

         Em                                                           Am   C   Am   C
I need an easy dollar are you trick or are you treat

           Em
Well if she was six teeth younger and if i had half a mind

                                            B7                          Em
I’d carry her away from that wicked thing outside
[Verse 2]
         Em            B7          Am           C
Well i saw a carried bundle

        Em            B7          Am          C
that has fingers eyes and toes

      Em          B7                Am      C
As a father of deception

     Em          B7               Am
i have never raised a soul

        Am                          C                       Am                             C
It’s a purchase captured second hand and cherished more than gold

        Em                                                       B7                        Em
It’s a shelter from that wicked thing that wanders in the night
[Chorus]
         Em                                                              Am   C   Am   C
Yeah fix your boots or take me home says quick monique the freak

         Em                                                Am   C   Am   C
I need an easy dollar are you trick or are you treat

           Em
Well if she was six teeth younger and if i had half a mind

                                            B7                          Em
I’d carry her away from that wicked thing outside

      Am              C                       Am                      C
The water on the dirty streets has all but turned to ice

     Em                                                      B7                     E
To pave the road for wicked things that wander in the night
