Deadman’s Blues
Matt Woods

G                          D/F#
Don’t bother calling up my telephone
Em                          C
We both know how this night ends
G                             D/F#
Just shut the light and put a record on 
Em                                    C               D           
It won’t be long til I make dark your trap house door again
C                                    D/F#
Strolling with those rings around my eyes
      G           D/F#              Em
How I do declare, darling, you’re a sight
C                              D/F#
Shake off just a little of the cold
    G            D/F#             Em    C    D
You know I never meant to grow so old

      G
I’m a first place loser, last place friend,
D/F#
Roadhouse preacher til stage lights dim
Em
Turn me out to the dark again
      C                D
Don’t worry if I don’t call
          G
All these part time lovers and full time fools
D/F#
Got me singing the deadman’s blues 
Em
Fumbling round without a thing to lose
     C                          D
Like I don’t want it all
    C                          D
Hey I don’t want it all

G       D/F#     Em     C    D       x2

      C                                D/F#
There ain’t no sense in feeling like I do
     G               D/F#              Em
When all I want’s at odds with wanting you
C                           D/F#
Girl I never meant to go so far
       G              D/F#             Em
Make a debt from your tears and broken hearts
         C                           D
It’s the perfect tool to tear myself apart

I’m a first place loser, last place friend,
Roadhouse preacher til stage lights dim
Turn me out to the dark again
Don’t worry if I don’t call
All these part time lovers
And full time fools
Got me singing the deadman’s blues 
Fumbling round without a thing to lose
Like I don’t want it all
Hell I don’t want it all
x2

Don’t bother calling up my telephone 
We both know how this night ends

Matt plays the song in straight G with no capo. I've been playing it in D#(same 
chords capoed on the 4th). That's the only way I can get close to singing all the notes he does.
