the emptiness and studders
hit me like a glove

I'd tempt the Holy Ghost to Heaven
by my side

Scud Mountain Boys - Van Drunk

Capo III

G
I wasn't happy

...D
to hear you'd been wasted

G
when you made all those

..........D
tv shows

....G
the whiskey and the mouthwash

.......D.................Bm
and Mary's fine underclothes

.......E
can't hide all the trouble

......A
you knew

each night in my parlor
I leaned on my elbows
the ottoman got you again
but that was a dim light
compared to the way you fell
over and over and over

D...........F#m....................G
who was there when you knew for sure

.....E..................G
the world would disappear

D.....................F#m
yeah you were alive

.........G
those snake-littered ?????

........E............G
somehow you made it mine

to reach me there
from a sattelite hung from a pin and nail
yeah I was alive
those snake-littered ?????
somehow I wheezed it by

Bm...........E.................A...........G
the dumb leading the blind to water

Bm..E............A
will I see you there

would you care
if I told of some of the things
I've seen up there
and hey would you mind
if I turned to you
while the blue went screaming by

the blind leading the dumb to water
will I see you there
the damned leading the damned to water
will I see you there

it's out of the question
I won't even mention it
cause I've got no money to burn
so I scan the late night
the scent of his suicide

.....E...............................G......Gm
his breath on pages for you

....D
to return

Scud Mountain Boys - Scratch Ticket

Capo II


G...............D
How soon it all fades away

G.......Bm.............F..............D
The money and strength of my failing will

G.................D
Down by the shore we're today

G...Bm......F.......D
I lost a ticket of life to feel

Em........F................G
And there's no way I can get it all back again

Em.....F.............D...........D7
Don't know where I am

The three bucks my cold hands and chemicals
The ticket to write and some guy to call
But how soon it all fades away
The money and strength of a failing will
But there's no way I can get it all back again
Don't know where I am


Em..F........G
Oooh Scratch ticket

Dm..Am..G
Oooh

Scud Mountain Boys - Liquor Store

G.....................................C
the old face you used to dream about

..........D.............................C...............D............D7
with every word, now youve begun to doubt

G.........................................C
three simple words, one so sweet to say

........D
now all the wind wont give breath enough to say


C
even one or two

D
no i never tried

Em
maybe three of four

C
might make something true

D
anyone will do

another day youve gone and fooled again
and all your friends knew but wouldnt say
each step you take towards that liquor store
might dull the pain with the same old refrain

maybe one or two
then in a little while
maybe three or four
help you find the door
anyone will do
