VERSE 1
      E (022100@1)                       BmWell (x24432@1)I poked my lighter through a hurricane hole
D (xx0232@1)         C (x32010@1)         BDrinking (x2444x@1)champagne from a turtle shell bowl
  E (022100@1)                      BmI (x24432@1)grabbed on the hook of his big fishing rod
     D (xx0232@1)    C (x32010@1)         B (x2444x@1)    EI'm (022100@1)holding my breath in the shadow of Tom

VERSE 2
Well I starred in a puppet show in an alleyway
Built a king size bed from a bale of hay
The sun is sweat and the moon is blood
They all get eclipsed in the shadow of Tom

CHORUS
D (xx0232@1)                   E (022100@1)                  C (x32010@1)       DStereo (xx0232@1)blaring just as loud as it can
D (xx0232@1)                               ETom's (022100@1)the only one who really understands

VERSE 3
And I'm shuffling cards in an interstate town
I got my shoes shined by a one eyed clown
Gas station coffee ain't never too hot
I'm running on fumes in the shadow of Tom

VERSE 4
There's a homemade scarecrow beating on a drum
A dead drunk preacher is cleaning his guns
Whiskey and dust and it's name is Mud
Spouted from the pulpit in the shadow of Tom

VERSE 5
Then I fetched my daddy a hickory stick
Every time I cuss an unborn baby kicks
Daddy's gonna have to hit me really really hard
To end my time in the shadow of Tom
