Junkie And Juicehead Minus Me

Intro: D D G I was stumblin' bumblin' down them neon Music City sidewalks A G D With a Junkie and a Juicehead who had problems of their own G Stuck with luck that kept me standin' just a step away from starvin' A G D And some talent that I swore I'd show before I'd go back home G 80 days out of the Army, makin' neither love nor money D A A7 And my only set of clothes was gettin' closer to the bone D G Then the Junkie placed an order with the prophet on the corner A G D While he told us of the soul that he'd been sellin' for a song G D He said my fortune was my future but I let it slip away A D Slowly smokin' myself broke on 80 cigarettes a day G D Findin' out that crime ain't all there is that doesn't pay G A (let ring) And writin' songs for no one but myself, and the Juicehead who said G D If I can read my fortune, in the bottom of a glass A D Then I can see it's time for me to make my last request G D Will you fill my grave with whiskey when I'm laid away to rest A D So the boys can say I drank my way to hell BREAK: D D G Well I drank the whole thing over, put 1 and 2 together A G D And it addered up to more of what I didn't wanna be D G I ain't blamin' Music City but it's only gonna see me A G D One more work day and a wake up and the time it takes to leave G 'Cause I got a dirty picture of what could've been my future D A A7 In a prophet pushin' daydreams on a corner for a fee D G And a wino lookin' lonely at a bottle gettin' empty A G D And a hungry lookin' Junkie hauntin' tea and sympathy G D And I bet that Junkie's laughin' at the life he threw away A D While he's smokin' himself broke on 80 cigarettes a day G D Pleadin' down the prophet to a price that he can pay G A (let ring) And writin' words that no one's gonna see, but the Juicehead who said G D Every empty bottle is his private chrystal ball A D Where he stares into the future findin' nothin' there at all G D Which is all I'll miss tomorrow when them neon shadows fall A D On a Junkie and a Juicehead minus me
