(Verse 1)
I'm a [D]broke down [A]wreck with a [G]ball and [C]chain
Just [D]sitting in the [A]kitchen with my [G]fortune and [C]fame
There's a [D]monkey in a [A]mask and he's [G]calling my [C]name
There's a [F]midget on his [C]back,
Hes waiting [G]for the [D]midnight [A]train
A, Em, G, D (2X)
Cause were [D]pulling [C]up [A]stakes
Gotta [F]load up the [G]car
Get my [D]right [C]beat [A]back
Do some [F]air [G]guitar
Cause Im [F]running from the [C]air-jets
[G]Inside of my [D]head
On my [F]bed
With a [C]leg full of [G]lead
We're trading gold for [F]bread
(same as verse 1)
Well the militarized mistress yeah you sink like a stone
Well I'm out here on the sidewalk where the buffalo roam
I can see it in your crystal dancing in like a storm
Blowing dusty through the kitchen
While you're standing in your high heels in your hall
A, Em, G, D (2X)
[D]Cause [C]were [A]pulling up stakes
Gotta [F]load up the [G]car
Get my [D]right [C]beat [A]back
Do some [F]air [G]guitar
Cause Im [F]running from the [C]air-jets
[G]Inside of my [D]head
On my [F]bed
With a [C]leg full of [G]lead
We're trading gold for [F]bread
(Same as verse 1)
Yeah there's this choice you gotta make and itll cut to the coil
Like a preacher throwing dice instead of seeds on the soil
There's a lady and her lover and the'yre covered in oil
Slipping down through the cracks
With the attack and a face full of foil
A, Em, G, D (2X)
[D]Cause [C]were [A]pulling up stakes
Gotta [F]load up the [G]car
Get my [D]right [C]beat [A]back
Do some [F]air [G]guitar
Cause Im [F]running from the [C]air-jets
[G]Inside of my [D]head
On my [F]bed
With a [C]leg full of [G]lead
We're trading gold for [F]bread
