after drums B for 4 measures
You only got one finger left and its pointing at the door
And you're taking for granted what the Lord's made on the floor
So I'm picking up the pieces and I'm putting them up for sale
Throw your meal ticket out the window put your skeletons in jail
Cuz' Lord only knows its getting late
Your senses are gone so don't you hesitate
To give yourself a call let your bottom dollars fall
Throwing you two bit cares down the drain
drum interlude, solo guitar, 2 bars of B
Invite me to the seven seas like some seasick man
You will do whatever you please and I'll do whatever I can
Titanic, fare thee well, my eyes are turning pink
Don't call when the new age gets old enough to drink
Cuz' Lord only knows its getting late
Your senses are gone so don't hesitate
Move on up the hill there's nothing dead left to kill
Throwing your two bit cares down the drain
repeat these 4 bars
Odelay, odelay, odelay, odelay, odelay, odelay
Just passing through
Odelay, odelay, odelay, odelay
on the A and D strings noodle around between the A, B, D, and E notes
