DRUNKEN POET'S DREAM - HAYES CARLL

A                     D       A
IVE GOT A WOMAN, SHE'S WILD AS ROME
A                A7           D     A
SHE LIKES TO LAY NAKED AND BE GAZED UPON
    E                                    D
SHE CROSSES A BRIDGE AND THEN SETS IT ON FIRE
A                      D         A
LANDS LIKE A BIRD ON A TELEPHONE WIRE

WINE BOTTLES SCATTERED LIKE LAST NIGHTS CLOTHES
CIGARETTE PAPERS AND DOMINOES
SHE LAUGHS FOR A MINUTE ABOUT THE SHAPE I'M IN
SAYS, YOU BE THE SINNER HONEY AND ILL BE THE SIN


CHORUS:
E
I'M GONNA HOLLER AND I'M GONNA SCREAM
D
IM GONNA GET ME SOME MESCALINE
    E
SHE BRINGS ME ROSES AND A PLACE TO LEAN
D                      A  D A
A DRUNKEN POETS DREAM

THERE'S SOME MONEY ON THE TABLE
AND A PISTOL ON THE FLOOR
SOME OLD PAPER BACK BOOKS OF LOUIS L'AMOUR
SHE SAYS, HONEY DON'T WORRY BOUT JUDGMENT DAY
DYIN' TO GET TO HEAVEN JUST AIN'T OUR WAY

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
    Bm
AND ALL MY LIFE I LAID AROUND 
          Fm
WHILE THE COLORS ALL TURNED BLUE
D
CLOSED MY EYES AND FINALLY 
          E
FOUND IT BROUGHT ME BACK TO YOU

IVE GOT A WOMAN, SHES WILD AS ROME
SHE LIKES TO LAY NAKED AND BE GAZED UPON
SHE CROSSES A BRIDGE AND THEN SETS IT ON FIRE
LANDS LIKE A BIRD ON A TELEPHONE WIRE

REPEAT CHORUS

[NOTE: Hayes plays this with a capo at the 2nd fret]
