I know I'm afraid
G D
I rarely make love I mostly get laid
[Verse 3]
D
I know I'm unhealthy
A
No doctor would doubt
G D A
My dreams are all bad and; my hairs falling out
[Chorus]
G Em
When you get the blues and; you want to shoot yourself in the head
Em
It's alright, it's alright
G
Go ahead
G
Do the monkey do the pony
Em
Do the slop do the boogaloo twist
Em G
Cut your throat, Cut your throat, Cut your wrist
[Middle 8]
D G
When you tire of wordly toil
D G
Shuffle off this mortal coil
D G
Turn your body back to soil
C D
It's OK, It's OK
[Chorus]
G
When you get hung up
Em
Hang yourself up by the neck
Em G
What the hell, what the hell, what the heck
D
stomp on the moon and spit in the ocean
A D
razzmatazz and I love you
D
holy smokes and land negotiation
A D
you can do anything that you want to do
D
you can sing four songs
you can dance ten dances
eat twelve candies
A D
drink eight beers
D
break two rules
and take six chances
laugh nine laughs
A D
and shed three tears
D
eat that watermelon
drink that moonshine
A D
she's the lady and you're the lord
D
a mail pouch chew will keep you in line
A D
drive all over in her grandaddy's ford
D
small talk big talk hugs and kisses
A D
strum a little number on the big guitar
D
if you want to charm the bonnet off your mrs.
A D
go out and catch a firefly, stick him in a jar
A
Ooh! take off her clothes
and throw her in the river
A D
wash her body and stick it in the sun
D
give that gal everything you can give her
you can give her the bullets
A D
if you can give her the gun
D
I know I'm unhappy
A
I know things aren't right
