       A                                           
Well I been spending all my money on weed 'n' pills
D                                           
Trying to write a song that'll pay the bills
A                                             E7         E
But it ain't came yet so I guess I'll have to rob a bank ■
  A                                        
I guess it could be worse it ain't that bad
D                                      
At least I ain't sitting in old Baghdad
A                        E           A                
In the middle of the hot damn desert sitting in a tank
     A                                              
Well every time the wife talks a baby gets mentioned
D                        A        
I'm so broke I can't pay attention
                               E      
Lord how it tears me up to see her cry
A                                               
So I been spending all my nights on the internet
D                                         
Looking for a clue but ain't found one yet
A               E                                A        
Just a bunch of Mopars guitars and other stuff I can't buy


[Chorus]
D                                      A                          
Well now Lord if you can hear me won't you throw a damn dog a bone
       A                                       
'cause if the Devil shows up with a better deal
A7              E7    E   
This old soul's going down
D                                         
I sing 'em real pretty I sing 'em real sad
A                           D                   
All the people in the crowd say he ain't halfbad
A                                      E            
Well they call me King Turd up here on Shit Mountain
                                E    
If you want it you can have the crown

A7                  A                     D       
Well I been sitting on my ass like a bump on a log
                      A       
Watching Andy and ol' Boss Hog
                               E7                
Guess I ought to get up and go out and find a job
        A                                        D            
Instead ■ of sitting on the couch trying to find the next line
                                          A      
I'm sure there's gotta be a better use of my time
                                     E7              A     
Like figuring out which one of these banks I'm gonna go rob
A7            A                               
Well the name of the game is Hurry up and wait
         D                     A7         
But that ain't putting no food on my plate
                               E     
Or gas in my car and I drive a Bronco
E7 A                             D          
So Lord if I could just get me a record deal
                                   A        
I might not have to worry about my next meal
A                                     
But I'll still be trying to figure out
E        A7                     
What the hell rhymes with Bronco


[Chorus]
              D7              D        A                          
Well now Lord if you can hear me won't you throw a damn dog a bone
A                                              
'cause if the Devil shows up with a better deal
                      E   
This old soul's going down
              D                            
Oh I sing 'em real pretty sing 'em real sad
        A                                D      
All the people in the crowd say he ain't halfbad
A                                                   
Well they call me King Turd up here on Shit Mountain
E                      A             
If you want it you can have the crown
                       A7                           
Well they call me King Turd up here on Shit Mountain
A              E7           D         A
If you want it you can have the crown ■
