Band of Heathens - Odysseus

I'm gonna ^Ctell you this story that I once read About this ^Fcowboy who was a little messed up in the head For ^D7starters he went by this weirdo name of Odys^Gseus Now ^COdysseus weren't no cowboy name But he ^Fsure could play that cowboy game An' he could ^D7rope and ride and he could throw a real mean di^Gscus

Well he was ^Cheaded home from some far-off land Like ^FMississippi or Texarkana He was ^D7tryin' to get to Ithaca in New York ^GState Met this ^Cdude named Poseidon that almost drowned him But this ^Fchick named Ino came along and found him ^D7I... I didn't really get that part anywa^Gy

Well he ^Cmet this girl named Circe, you know She was all ^Fhot and bothered and ready to go She in^D7vited all of his friends on over for ^Gsupper Turned his ^Cbuddies into pigs and that's a fact F [stop] So he made love to her and she turned 'em back I gue^D7ss he was pretty ^Ggood in the sack or ^Csomethin'

^F O^Cdysseus, why ^Gdid you have to ^Cgo? ^F O^Cdysseus, what^Gever ^G/Adid you ^G/A#know? ^G/B O^Edysseus was hard, O^Amdysseus was ^Ffast ^CThat cowboy could ^Greally kick some ^Cass

Well he ^Cwasn't really sure which way to head So for dir^Fections he went to the kingdom of the dead ^D7I ain't sure were that is but it sounds like ^GFlorida His ^Cmama lived there and she said hi He said ^Fno mama, I'm here to see this other guy She sai^D7d well, you're a real find son, then, aren't ^Gyou?

Finally he ^Cfound this guy that knew the way He said,^F "Now listen close to what I gotta say It's a ^D7long hard ride and you probably never even get ^Gthere And all these ^Cfriends of yours, they're all a-gonna die And ^Fall you're gonna wanna do is sit and cry?" And Odys^D7seus said, "Now, hold u^Gp, dude... I make a ^Cleft where?"

So he ^Cpacked his bags and he saddled up And he was ^Fheaded out of town past his little club And from ^D7inside he heard this chick band called The ^GSirens Well he ^Cwanted to stay and hear a few But his ^Fbuddies said, "No, man, we gotta move" So he threw th^D7is big old tantrum then he got on back to ^Gridin'

When he ^Cgot home all of these men were there ^FEatin' all the food from his Frigidaire And^D7 not just two or three, but like forty-some^Gthin' They was ^Chittin' on his wife and makin' a scene So he ^Fkilled them all and got away clean Didn'^D7t even have to do community service or ^Gnothin'

His ^Cwife said, "I been so faithful babe?" And he ^Fsaid, "Uh^D7..., uh...^G, me too Except for that ^Cgirl in that cave and a couple more And that ^Fbeautiful woman on that island shore Any^D7ways, baby, I been so ^Gthankful in my ^Cheart"
