[Riff A]
B E F# B
My daddy told me, lookin back,
E F#
The best friend you'll have is a railroad track
B E F# B
So when I was 13, I said, I'm rollin' my own
E F# B
And I'm leavin' Missouri and I'm never comin' home
B
And I'm lost
E
And I'm lost
B G#m
I'm lost at the bottom of the world
B E
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
B F# B
I'm lost at the bottom of the world.
B E F# B
Satchel Puddin' and Lord God Mose
E F#
Sitting by the fire with a busted nose
B E F# B
That fresh egg yeller is too damn rare
E F# B
But the white part is perfect for slickin' down your hair
B
And I'm lost
E
And I'm lost
B G#m
I'm lost at the bottom of the world
B E
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
B F# B
I'm lost at the bottom of the world.
B E F# B
Blackjack Ruby and Nimrod Cain
E F#
The moon's the color of a coffee stain
B E F# B
jesse Frank and Birdy Joe Hoaks
E F#
But who is the king of all these folks?
B
And I'm lost
E
And I'm lost
B G#m
I'm lost at the bottom of the world
B E
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
B F# B
I'm lost at the bottom of the world.
[Play riff A]
B E F# B
Well I dined last night with Scarface Ron
E F#
On Telapia fish cakes and fried black swan
B E F# B
Razorweed onion and peacock squirrel
E F#
And I dreamed all night about a beautiful girl
B
And I'm lost
E
And I'm lost
B G#m
I'm lost at the bottom of the world
B E
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
B F# B
I'm lost at the bottom of the world.
[Play Riff A and B]
B E F# B
Well God's green hair is where I slept last
E F#
He balanced a diamond on a blade of grass
B E F# B
Now I woke me up with a cardinal bird
E
And when I wanna talk
F#
He hangs on every word
B
And I'm lost
E
And I'm lost
B G#m
I'm lost at the bottom of the world
B E
I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar
B F# B
I'm lost at the bottom of the world.
[Play riff A 2x + fadeout]
