Rattlesnakes Through The Cotton

C
Drawing twin lines
F
On a cheap hotel mirror
G7         G    C
Watching my free hbo

[Verse 2]
C
Swerving my way
F
From fort worth to Houston
G7         G    C            G
Missing a woman I don’t even know

[Verse 3]

C
Little boy blue
F
Had a rig and a spoon
G7         G                  C             G
And a paycheck that went straight to his arm

[Verse 4]

C
He lost his way
F
On a highway they say
G7         G    C            G
He was nearer the devil, so far from the farm

[Chorus]
F                      C
May the moon shine bright on your eyes tonight
 G                       C
And the old times be not forgotten
F                   C           Am
And I would crawl my way to you
     C         G             C
Like rattlesnakes in the cotton

[Verse 5]
C
And the cigarettes dropped
F
On the orange shag carpet
G7         G                  C             G
Looked like midnight on a Chinese new year

[Verse 6]
C
He Took one last breath
F
In the heat of the moment
G7         G                  C             G
Through the smoke ash and cinder, his end it drew near

[Chorus]
F                             C
May the moon shine bright on your eyes tonight
 G                       C
And the old times be not forgotten
    F               C           Am
And I would crawl my way to you
     C         G             C
Like rattlesnakes in the cotton

[Bridge]
          F
Oh I'm standing flatfooted
Fm
Prepared for nothing
C
Something amazing
C
I don't know what's coming
F
There ain't no time to argue
Fm
Aint no time to play
G
Not one soul to miss me, as I fade away

[Outro]

F
I'm burning
Fm                  C
Lord help me I'm burning
Am                      G
Always knew I'd be burning
G                        C
When all said was all done
