Tell Me Mister
An Original Song by Rodney Henson
[Verse 1]
G D
Tell me mister can you spare a dollar
C G
Tell me mister can you spare a dime
Em7 A7
I won't spend it on cigarettes
D7 G
Cocaine or wine
G D
I ain't got a 401k
C G
No condo in Del Rey
Em7 A7
I'm just a homeless hetro-sexual white male
D7 G
Tryin' to make it through the day
C G
[Verse 2]
G D
Tell me ma-am have you seen the devil
C G
Tell me ma-am have seen her shoes
Em7 A7
She's out there walkin' the streets alone
D7 G
Spreadin' the bad news
G D
She says you're supposed to hate me
C G
She says I'm the one to blame
Em7 A7
For all the world's injustice
D7 G
For everybody's pain
C G
[Chorus]
Am D7
I'd sell my soul to the devil
G C
My backs against the wall
Am D7
But I'm a homeless hetro-sexual white male
C G
And she won't return my call
Am D7
I'm a homeless hetro-sexual white male
C G
Taken' the blame for it all
C G
[Verse 3]
G D
Tell me ali-en where is this planet
C G
Tell me ali-en how did I get here
Em7 A7
I swear I've been ubducted
D7 G
This world is so queer
G D
So many new ways to i-denti-fy
C G
My sexual pre-condition
Em7 A7
So many pronouns and gender roles
D7 G
I might be in a transition
C G
[Chorus]
Am D7
I'd sell my soul to the devil
G C
My backs against the wall
Am D7
But I'm a homeless hetro-sexual white male
C G
And she won't return my call
Am D7
I'm a homeless hetro-sexual white male
C G
Taken' the blame for it all
C G
[Bridge]
Am
No matter how I self identify
Em7 A7
One fact remains the same
G D
Tell me mister can you spare a dollar
C G
Tell me mister do you know my name
C G
[Chorus]
Am D7
I'd sell my soul to the devil
G C
My backs against the wall
Am D7
But I'm a homeless hetro-sexual white male
C G
And she won't return my call
Am D7
I'm a homeless hetro-sexual white male
C G
Taken' the blame for it all
C G
[Outro]
G D
Tell me mister can you spare a dollar
C G
Please mister don't roll your eyes
G
On behalf of all homeless hetro-sexual white males
D7 G
I do ap-o-lo-gize
