[INTRO]
RIFF - G - RIFF - G


[VERSE]
G                    G/C          RIFF
Arkansas River, Sallisaw blue
G                      G/C               RIFF
This town never seen nothing like you
G/C                                        RIFF
They got silver spoons for American gods
G                                          RIFF
I wanna be stoned, thrown American rods


[VERSE]
G                              G/C             RIFF
I don't own anything, you don't know shit
G                                    G/C              RIFF
With your bloodshot eyes giving my black heart fits
G/C                                            RIFF
There's a neon sign that says 'Big Bad Luv'
G                                                  RIFF
And a noose hanging down from the heavens above


[CHORUS]
       Dsus2   D7sus2 - D7     Am
It's no use,              God bless these blues
           Em                      G
Let's get wrecked and bruised and battered
       Dsus2   D7sus2 - D7          Am
I need you,               come on, burn right through
        C                 D7                  D7    D7
Honey, show me I'm not shattered


[VERSE]
G                       G/C              RIFF
Down for the count, along for the ride
G                         G/C               RIFF
Sipping cold medicine, ruining our lives
G/C                                         RIFF
Slumming I-40 with American songs
G                                          RIFF
They can bury our bodies in American wrongs


[CHORUS]
       Dsus2   D7sus2 - D7     Am
It's no use,              God bless these blues
           Em                      G
Let's get wrecked and bruised and battered
       Dsus2   D7sus2 - D7          Am
I need you,               come on, burn right through
        C                 D7                  D7    D7
Honey, show me I'm not shattered


[VERSE]
G/C                                            RIFF

G                                                  RIFF
And a noose hanging down from the heavens above


[CHORUS]
       Dsus2   D7sus2 - D7     Am
It's no use,              God bless these blues
           Em                      G
Let's get wrecked and bruised and battered
       Dsus2   D7sus2 - D7          Am
I need you,               come on, burn right through
        C                 D7                  D7    D7
Honey, show me I'm not shattered
