Drunken Poets Dream

G                   C       G
I got a woman who's wild as Rome
    G                     C      G
She likes being naked and gazed upon
    G                     C          G
She crosses a bridge, she sets it on fire
    G                      C         G
She lands like a bird on a telephone wire

[Chorus]
D
I'm gonna holler and I'm gonna scream
C                     G
I'm gonna get me some mescaline
    D
And then I'm gonna rhyme that with gasoline
                       G    C   G
It's a drunken poet's dream

[Verse 2]
             G                        C             G
There's some money on the table and a pistol on the floor,
      G                  C        G
a few paperback books by Louie L'amour
        G                          C            G
Whiskey bottles are scattered like last night's clothes,
     G                         C  G
with cigarettes and papers and Oreos

[Verse 3]
      G                C      G
My harmonica has got a busted reed
   G                     C       G
My lips are chapped and about to bleed
    G                         C         G
She says that's nothing, when she was a kid
    G                           C    G
she danced with the dead at the pyramids

[Chorus]
D
I'm gonna holler and I'm gonna scream
C                     G
I'm gonna get me some mescaline
    D
And then I'm gonna rhyme that with gasoline
                       G    C   G   D
It's a drunken poet's dream

[Verse 4]
         G                 C       G
Now I'll never pay back my student loans
G                       C       G
Smellin' like Coors and cheap cologne
    G                           C         G
She tells me not to worry about judgement day
         G                           C         *
She says dyin' to get in heaven just ain't our way

[Chorus]
    D
And I'm gonna holler and I'm gonna scream
C                     G
I'm gonna get me some mescaline
    D
And then I'm gonna rhyme that with gasoline
                       G    C   G
It's a drunken poet's dream

[Outro]
G                   C       G
I got a woman who's wild as Rome
    G                     C      G
She likes being naked and gazed upon
