BUSLOAD OF HOPE

F* - 133200

Am7 /E /G                     
Sinners and prayers on a jitney 
Gamblers try to smooth their raw deal 
                                        F*
Kissed their kids for the weekend 
        E
And here they come to spin the wheel 

Moustache-d, lipstick-ed Frannie 
She'll be sucking up the free drinks at Trump 
Going through twenties like water 
But she don't feel a thing when she's drunk

[Theу're on a]
F*              Am7
Busload Of Hope 
E                                       Am7
Swinging on a star from the hangman's rope 
F*              Am7
Busload Of Hope 
F*                      E
Gimme the luck, gimme the dope, yeah-

Shaking hands with one arm bandits 
Winking back at one eyed jacks 
Suicide kings got a reason 
Oh baby, just stay in the black 

Hit me! 
It's a  
Busload of Hope 
Swing on a star from the hangman's rope 
Busload of Hope 
Gimme the luck, gimme the dope, yeah-

Shattered that American daydream 
Afternoon moanin' in bed 
Swallowed the hook, line and sinker 
Working man needs the bread 

Slipping on that second mortgage 
Livin' on credit and debt 
Oh thank heaven - for chapter eleven 
Or should ya make just one more bet? 

Get on the Busload Of Hope 
Sure, you're gonna clean up, in hot water and soap 
Busload Of Hope - you got the dream and just enough rope yeah!
