Tombstone Blues

Capo 2

[Verse 1]

E A E

The sweet pretty things are in bed now of course

E A E

The city fathers they're trying to endorse

E A E

The reincarnation of Paul Revere's horse

E A E

But the town has no need to be nervous

The ghost of Belle Starr she hands down her wits

To Jezebel the nun she violently knits

A bald wig for Jack the Ripper who sits

At the head of the chamber of commerce

[Chorus]

A

Mama's in the fact'ry

E

She ain't got no shoes

A

Daddy's in the alley

E

He's lookin' for food

A

I'm in the kitchen *)

E

With the tombstone blues
