STANDARD TUNING, NO CAPO

        C5
Me and Lazarus, we shovel all the ashes out
Black bare linens blowing 'round
Back and forth and up and down
       Bb5                                C5    
oh oh woah, guess I had nowhere else to go

        C5
Me and Lazarus kept bailing on the riverboat
Floating by the choir rose
Bobbing in the ebb and flow
       Bb5                                C5
oh oh woah, guess I had nowhere else to go

          Bb5         F5               C5
He's an emancipated punk and he can dance
                Bb5          F5             C5
But he's got a hole in the pocket of his pants
           Bb5             F5               C5
Must be a symptom of outstanding circumstances
   Bb5 F5 C5
Woah

         C5
Me and Lazarus, we fiddle with a baby spoon
Fever flowing through the room
Far too long and way too soon
       Bb5                               C5  
oh oh woah, guess I had nowhere else to go

         C5                  
Me and Lazarus, we pick up papa's white boy blues
Hand-me downs and Sunday shoes
Never made the local news
       Bb5                               C5  
oh oh woah, guess I had nowhere else to go

            Bb5        F5             C5    
And I'm a liberated loser that can roll
               Bb5            F5                 C5
But where my pocket was I'm peeking through a hole
            Bb5            F5             C5
A couple second-chances surely would console me
  Bb5 F5 C5
Woah
