 Transpose this riff into A when appropriate. Just play the B7 chord normally.
 Ain't it hard  to stumble
 And land in some funny lagoon?
 Ain't it hard  to stumble
 And land in some muddy lagoon?
 Especially when it's nine  below zero
 And  three  o'clock in the afternoon.
 Ain't gonna hang  no picture,
 Ain't gonna hang no picture frame.
 Ain't gonna hang  no picture,
 Ain't gonna hang no picture frame.
 Well, I might look  like Robert Ford
 But I  feel  just like a Jesse James.
 Well, I wish  I was on some
 Australian mountain range.
 Oh, I wish  I was on some
 Australian mountain range.
 I got no reason  to be there, but I
 Imagine  it  would be some kind of change.
 I got my dark  sunglasses,
 I got for good luck my black tooth.
 I got my dark  sunglasses,
 I'm carryin' for good luck my black tooth.
 Don't ask  me nothin' about nothin',
 I just  might  tell you the truth.
 I got a woman  in Jackson,
 I ain't gonna say her name.
 I got a woman  in Jackson,
 I ain't gonna say her name.
 She's a brown-skin  woman,
 but I  Love  her just the same.
 The song fades out playing the riff in E over and over.
