Drunken Barber's Hand from the album: Slaid Cleaves - 'Ghost on the Car Radio' [Verse 1]

Three ^Amscruples to a dram boys ^AmEight drams to an ounce ^DmTwo cups will get you a ^Ampint now And the ^E7first one’s on the house

[Verse 2]

^AmThe drunkard craves just another ^AmBlind man blames the eye ^DmThe poor man dreams of ^Amriches And a ^E7martyr prays to ^Amdie

[Chorus]

^AmI don't need to read the papers ^DmOr the tea leaves to understand ^AmThat this world's been shaved ^EmBy a drunken barber's ^Amhand

[Verse 3]

^AmI've drowned in the pull of young love ^AmKnown the high and the hurt ^DmI've felt the heartbeat ^Amquicken At the ^E7sight of a lifted skirt

[Verse 4]

^AmI've thrilled to the big sound ^AmFelt the rumble and the roar ^DmDrove straight through the b^Amlackest night In a ^E7chase forever^Ammore

[Chorus]

^AmI don't need to read the papers ^DmOr the tea leaves to understand ^AmThat this world's been shaved ^EmBy a drunken barber's ^Amhand

[Bridge]

^DmI rode ten thousand miles ^AmOn a carousel horse of wood ^DmWe end up where we started ^EmGet right back on if we could

[Verse 5]

^AmSo go ahead make your confession ^AmTo a washed up whiskey priest ^DmI'll be puttin' money ^Amdown On the ^E7rough and slouching ^Ambeast

[Chorus]

^Am'Cause I don't need to read the papers ^DmOr the tea leaves to understand ^AmThat this world's been shaved ^EmBy a drunken barber's ^Amhand

[Chorus]

^AmI don't need to read the papers ^DmOr the tea leaves to understand ^AmThat this world's been shaved ^EmBy a drunken barber's ^Amhand
