[Intro] Am  Caug6  C  D7  F  Fm

           C
I've got a little black book with  my poems in
           E
I've got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in
     F                                        C        F
When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in
      C
I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on
         E                   E7
Got these swollen hand blues.
    F                                        C
Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from
C
I've got electric light
C7
And I've got second sight
          F      Fm             C      E7   Am   D7   G
I've got amazing powers of observation
G                 E7
And that is how I know
Am                       
When I try to get through
C                         D Dm13
On the telephone to you
                 C        F   C 
They'll be nobody home
F             C
I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm
          E                        E7
And the inevitable pinhole burns
F                                           C
All down in the front of my favourite satin shirt
F        C
I've got nicotine stains on my fingers
           E
I've got a silver spoon on a chain
           F                                  C
I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains
C
I've got wild staring eyes
C7                                 F
I've got a strong urge to fly
    Fm                  C       E7   Am    D7   G     E7
But I've got nowhere to fly to
Am         C                        D  Dm13
Ooooh Babe when I pick up the phone
                    C       F   C
There's still nobody home
F          C
I've got a pair of Gohills boots
            E       E7
And I've got fading roots
