Intro - picking on the G chord

0:07 - 0:44
G                      C
A young girl give me a good luck charm.
      E                      C
Put a snake on my neck and a bird on my arm.
    G                       C
Got one good leg Ôcause the other went South.
      E                      C                G
Got a brand new crutch and a brand new mouth.

0:45 - 1:25
        G                              C
I got a sheriff's name branded where I should have kept clean.
       E                             C
If you get too close you're going to know what I mean.
      G                          C
And I know when I'm old the only runnin' gonna come.
E                      C                   G
Away from lips and the fork of my tongue.


1:26 - 1:45
        D             C
It only gets to me in times like these.
    E                    C              G
And times like these are getting to me.

1:46 - 2:24
G                                   C
Put your hand in the oven there's a heaven inside.
   E                              C
It burns straight through but the devil don't mind.
           G                          C
Because he takes what he wants and he finds what you hide.
            E                      C                      G
And it will buy you a place on the Lower East Side.  Child

2:25 - 3:04
           G                       C
I rolled a number last night and I walked in my sleep.
        E                          C
I could feel all the nerves in the tips of my teeth.
        G                      C
As they crumbled into dust and washed into the sea.
        E                        C                  G
Finally shut my mouth so I could hear myself think.

3:05 - 3:32
        D             C
It only gets to me in times like these.
        D             C
It only gets to me in times like these.
        D             C
It only gets to me in times like these.
    E                    C
And times like these are getting to me.

3:33 - end
