[D]My 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 [G]13 said, I'm [A]rollin' my [D]own
And I'm [G]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 [Bm]world
I'm [D]handcuffed to the bishop and the [G]barbershop liar
I'm [D]lost at the [A]bottom of the [D]world.
[D]Satchel P[G]uddin' and [A]Lord God M[D]ose
[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 [Bm]world
I'm [D]handcuffed to the bishop and the [G]barbershop liar
I'm [D]lost at the [A]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
But [G]who is the king of [A]all these [D]folks?
And I'm [D]lost
And I'm [A]lost
I'm [D]lost at the bottom of the [Bm]world
I'm [D]handcuffed to the bishop and the [G]barbershop liar
I'm [D]lost at the [A]bottom of the [D]world.
Well I [D]dined last [G]night with [A]Scarface [D]Ron
On Tel[G]apia 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 [D]girl
And I'm [D]lost
And I'm [A]lost
I'm [D]lost at the bottom of the [Bm]world
I'm [D]handcuffed to the bishop and the [G]barbershop liar
I'm [D]lost at the [A]bottom of the [D]world.
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 I [D]woke me [G]up with a [A]cardinal [D]bird
And when [G]I wanna talk, he hangs [A]on every [D]word
And I'm [D]lost
And I'm [A]lost
I'm [D]lost at the bottom of the [Bm]world
I'm [D]handcuffed to the bishop and the [G]barbershop liar
I'm [D]lost at the [A]bottom of the [D]world.
