Вступление

The lyrics are not perfect (any corrections appreciated). Since I couldn't find any on the web or on the
official Rusty Cage website I had to transcribe by ear.
Standard tuning
Capo 4
[Intro] Am F E Am
Am F E
It's kind of hard being a bum in this town
Am
With the kids run while roaming all around
F E
We go by behind without a sound
Am
And we all got stories to tell
F E
Put a penny in a cup no matter how small
Am
I'm just a dollar short of catching the Greyhound home
F E
And God bless you sir won't see me no more
Am
'Cause I'll be drunk behind the Jiffy store
[Chorus]
A Dm G7
Well I'm gonna get straight if it's the last thing I can do
C E
I get my life together if someone would care
A Dm E
And if I should die before my time is through
Am
Tell all the people who I was
Am F E Am x2
Am F E
On a bench, a sour stench, clutching my booze
Am
A pair of swiss cheese socks and torn up shoes
F E
Whiskey breath, dumpster chef, next to Taco Bell
Am
I dropped my aspirations down a wishing well
F E
Drunken stance, piss my pants, piano-key teeth
Am
All these things will blind you from a man beneath
F E
I'm not a fool, been to school, I've read Sun Tzu
Am
You see us bums are people too
Am F E Am x2
Am F
So I'm back in jail, I can't make bail
E
I get my three square meals
Am
Oh how I've forgotten how a bed and pillow feels
F
I'll take a breath, there's nothing left
E
I'll lift my head, the Bible said
Am
To all those weary, I will give you rest
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Am Dm F E x 7
Am Dm E Am
Am F E Am x2
Am F E
On the streets where I sleep, Bullet is my name
Am
You see I've lost my wife and child in the whiskeyest of blame
F E
So I've been preaching gospels to the crazies on the curb
Am
Among these people I'll achieve my fame
F E
'Cause I can't get a job, 'cause of dirt on my face
Am
I can't find a wood for our resting place
F E
I ain't a bad guy, Lord knows I try
Am
And I'm 'prolly right here in the ally where I'll die
[Chorus] x 2
[Outro]
Am Dm F E x 2, second time hold E chord double count, then
Am F E Am x2 gradually slower, second time end on Am
