Me And Lazarus
View chords used in this chart
C
Me and Lazarus, we shovel all the ashes out
Black bare linens blowing 'round
Back and forth and up and down
Bb C
oh oh woah, guess I had nowhere else to go
C
Me and Lazarus kept bailing on the riverboat
Floating by the choir rose
Bobbing in the ebb and flow
Bb C
oh oh woah, guess I had nowhere else to go
Bb F C
He's an emancipated punk and he can dance
Bb F C
But he's got a hole in the pocket of his pants
Bb F C
Must be a symptom of outstanding circumstances
Bb F C
Woah
C
Me and Lazarus, we fiddle with a baby spoon
Fever flowing through the room
Far too long and way too soon
Bb C
oh oh woah, guess I had nowhere else to go
C
Me and Lazarus, we pick up papa's white boy blues
Hand-me downs and Sunday shoes
Never made the local news
Bb C
oh oh woah, guess I had nowhere else to go
Bb F C
And I'm a liberated loser that can roll
Bb F C
But where my pocket was I'm peeking through a hole
Bb F C
A couple second-chances surely would console me
Bb F C
Woah
