Verse 1
Well, I been [A]spending all my money on weed n' pills
[D]Tryin' to write a song that'll pay the bills
But it [A]ain't came yet so I guess I'll have to rob a [E]bank
I guess it [A]could be worse, it ain't that bad
At [D]least I ain't sitting in old Baghdad
In the [A]middle of a hot damn [E]desert, sittin' in a [A]tank
Verse 2
Well, every [A]time the wife talks a baby gets mentioned
[D]I'm so broke I can't pay attention
[A] Lord, how it tears me up to see her [E]cry
Oh, I been [A]spending all my nights on the internet
[D]Looking for a clue but ain't found one yet
Just a [A]bunch of Mopars, [E]guitars and other stuff I can't [A]buy
Chorus
Well now [D]Lord, if you can hear me won't you [A]throw a damn dog a bone
'Cause if the [A]Devil shows up with a better deal this old soul's going [E]down
Oh, I [D]sing 'em real pretty, I sing 'em real sad
A B* C#* D
And all the people in the crowd say he ain't half bad
Well, they [A]call me king turd up here on shit mountain, if you [E]want it you
can have the [A]crown

Verse 3
Well, I been [A]sitting on my ass like a bump on a log
[D] Watching Andy and ol' boss hog
I guess I,[A] ought to get up and go out and find a [E]job
Instead of [A]sitting on the couch trying to find the next line
I'm [D]sure there's gotta be a better use of my time
Like [A]figuring out which one of these [E]banks I'm a-gonna go [A]rob
Verse 4
Well, the [A]name of the game is hurry up and wait
But [D]that ain't putting no food on my plate
Or [A]gas in my car, and I drive a [E]Bronco
So [A]Lord, if I could just get me a record deal
I might [D]not have to worry about my next meal
But I'll [A]still be trying to figure [E]out what the hell rhymes [A]with Bronco
Chorus
Well now [D]Lord, if you can hear me won't you [A]throw a damn dog a bone
'Cause if the [A]Devil shows up with a better deal this old soul's going [E]down
Oh, I [D]sing 'em real pretty, I sing 'em real sad
A B* C#* D
And all the people in the crowd say he ain't half bad
Well, they [A]call me king turd up here on shit mountain, if you [E]want it you
can have the [A]crown
Well, they [A]call me king turd up here on shit mountain, if you [E]want it you
can have the [D]crown
