A D 4x

[Verse]
A                      D       A
I've got a woman, she's wild as Rome
A                A7           D     A
She likes to lay naked and be gazed upon
    E                                    D
She crosses a bridge and then sets it on fire
A                      D         A
Lands like a bird on a telephone wire

[Verse]
A                      D                 A
Wine bottles scattered like last night's clothes
A                    D      A
Cigarette papers and dominoes
E                                           D
She laughs for a minute about the shape I'm in
A                                 D           A
Says, you be the sinner honey and I'll be the sin

[Chorus]
E
I'm gonna holler and I'm gonna scream
D
I'm gonna get me some mescaline
    E
She brings me roses and a place to lean
D                       A  D A
A drunken poet's dream

[Verse]
A                                     D             A
There's some money on the table and a pistol on the floor
A                            D       A
Some old paper back books of Louis L'amour
E                                          D
She says, honey don't worry 'bout judgment day
A                           D         A
Dyin' to get to heaven just ain't our way

[Chorus]
E
I'm gonna holler and I'm gonna scream
D
I'm gonna get me some mescaline
    E                                   D
She brings me roses and a place to lean
D                       A  D A
A drunken poet's dream

[Bridge]
    Bm
And all my life I laid around
          F#m
While the colors all turned blue
D
Closed my eyes and finally found
          E
It brought me back to you

[Verse]
                                A
I've got a woman, she's wild as Rome
A                             D        A
She likes to lay naked and be gazed upon
E                                        D
She crosses a bridge and then sets it on fire
A                      D         A
Lands like a bird on a telephone wire

[Chorus]
E
I'm gonna holler and I'm gonna scream
D
I'm gonna get me some mescaline
    E                                   D
She brings me roses and a place to lean
D                       A  D A
A drunken poet's dream

[Outro]
D                       A  D A
A drunken poet's dream
D                      A  D A
A drunken poet
D                      A  D A
