My [D]daddy [G]told me, [A]lookin[D] back,
[G]The best friend you'll have is a [A]railroad track
So when [D]I was 1[G]3, I said, [A]I'm rollin' my[D] own
And [G]I'm leavin' Missouri and I'm [A]never comin'[D] home
And I'm [D]lost
And I'm [A]lost
I'm [D]lost at the bottom of the [B]world
I'm [D]handcuffed to the bishop and the [G]barbershop liar
[D]I'm lost at [A]the bottom of the[D] world.
[D]Satchel [G]Puddin' and [A]Lord God [D]Mose
[G]Sitting by the fire with a [A]busted nose
That [D]fresh egg [G]yeller is [A]too damn[D] rare
But the [G]white part is perfect for [A]slickin' down your[D] hair
And I'm [D]lost
And I'm [A]lost
I'm [D]lost at the bottom of the [B]world
I'm [D]handcuffed to the bishop and the [G]barbershop liar
[D]I'm lost at [A]the bottom of the [D]world.
[D]Blackjack [G]Ruby and [A]Nimrod [D]Cain
The [G]moon's the color of a [A]coffee stain
[D]jesse [G]Frank and [A]Birdy Joe [D]Hoaks
[G]But who is the king of [A]all these folks?
And I'm [D]lost
And I'm [A]lost
I'm [D]lost at the bottom of the [B]world
I'm [D]handcuffed to the bishop and the [G]barbershop liar
[D]I'm lost at [A]the bottom of the [D]world.
(Play riff A)
Well I [D]dined last [G]night with [A]Scarface [D]Ron
On [G]Telapia fish cakes and [A]fried black swan
[D]Razorweed [G]onion and [A]peacock [D]squirrel
And I [G]dreamed all night about [A]a beautiful girl
And I'm [D]lost
And I'm [A]lost
I'm [D]lost at the bottom of the [B]world
I'm [D]handcuffed to the bishop and the [G]barbershop liar
[D]I'm lost at [A]the bottom of the [D]world.
(Play Riff A and B)
Well [D]God's green [G]hair is where [A]I slept [D]last
He [G]balanced a diamond on a [A]blade of grass
Now [D]I woke [G]me up with a [A]cardinal [D]bird
And wh[G]en I wanna talk he hangs on [A]every word
And I'm [B]lost
And I'm [A]lost
I'm [D]lost at the bottom of the [B]world
I'm [D]handcuffed to the bishop and the [G]barbershop liar
[D]I'm lost at [A]the bottom of the [D]world.
(Play riff A 2x + fadeout)
