This song is a blues in A, and the tab is for the rhythm guitar. there are some nice slide bits in the background, but i haven't tabbed them yet. I find that if you barre the chords, and every two bars or so you alternately do a pull-off from the E-shape of the A (just leaving the barre on the 5th fret), and switch from an A to a D chord and then back really quickly, it sounds really close to the original song. just listen to it, and work it out. Tuning: Standard Intro: A
AJohny's in the basement Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement Thinking about the government The man in the trench coat Badge out, laid off Says he's got a bad cough Wants to get it paid off
DLook out kid It's somethin' you did AGod knows when But you're doin' it again You better duck down the alley way Lookin' for a new friend EThe man in the coon-skip cap In the big pen Wants Aeleven dollar bills You only got ten.
A
AMaggie comes fleet foot Face full of black soot Talkin' that the heat put Plants in the bed but The phone's tapped anyway Maggie says that many say They must bust in early May Orders from the DA DLook out kid Don't matter what you did AWalk on your tip toes Don't try, 'No Doz' Better stay away from those That carry around a fire hose EKeep a clean nose Watch the plain clothes AYou don't need a weather man To know which way the wind blows.
A
AGet sick, get well Hang around an ink well Ring bell, hard to tell If anything is goin' to sell Try hard, get barred Get back, write Braille Get jailed, jump bail, Join the army, if you failed DLook out kid You're gonna get hit But Ausers, cheaters Six-time losers Hang around the theaters EGirl by the whirlpool Lookin' for a new fool ADon't follow leaders Watch the parkin' meters.
A
AAh get born, keep warm Short pants, romance, learn to dance Get dressed, get blessed Try to be a success Please her, please him, buy gifts Don't steal, don't lift Twenty years of schoolin' And they put you on the day shift BLook out kid They keep it all hid Better Ajump down a manhole Light yourself a candle Don't wear sandals Try to avoid the scandals EDon't wanna be a bum You better chew gum AThe pump don't work 'Cause the vandals took the handles.
