J Roddy follows a simple blues pattern on this one. I'm giving you a very basic version of it. Throw in hammer-ons, walk downs and all that good stuff to make it sound a little nicer, but the whole song is based on this progression.

^GI bet you sick lick forcep and you're tiny in red. Elevate your tricep you're a martyr in bed. ^CSitting on a gold mine, shooting up the old time. ^GCleaning up the refuse of your plaid shirt and coke lines. ^DNow I've been pulling thread doing all kinds of evil. ^CI know you hate me baby but don't break the needle lady. G

^GHee hee hee hee hee hee hee haw haw, You made laugh baby, you made me crawl. ^CHee hee hee hee hee hee hee haw haw, ^GYou made laugh baby, you made me crawl. ^DI've been pulling thread doing all kinds of evil. ^CI know you hate me baby but don't break the needle lady. G

^GNow seven time two equals fourteen, This time is a dime. Do you know what I mean? ^CAnd I been building friends out of friends that I used to ha^Gve. ^DI've been pulling thread, doing all kinds of evil. ^Cknow you hate me baby but don't break the needle lady. G

^GMarshall saw a rolling ball, it ran right over him. It's a shame to have the dead naming off all their friends. ^CMy right hand my left hand they're both no good. ^GIt's black lung like the young, who were dying while they could. ^DI've been pulling thread doing all kinds of evil. ^CI know you hate me baby, but don't break the needle lady. G

^GHee hee hee hee hee hee hee haw haw, You made laugh baby, you made me crawl. ^CThe devil had a blister so I knew he had kissed her. ^GAnd I just wanted to know if the girl had a sister. ^DI been pulling thread, doing all kinds of evil ^CI know you hate me baby but don't break the needle lady. G
