G         D        A                Bm
Close one there    Choking in clean underwear
G        D         A                         Bm
Bleeding tongue    Eight ball pounding in my lungs
G       D        A                         Bm
Ship to shore    I can't see the coastline anymore
G              D        A                   Bm
I shouldn't be here   I thought I made that loud and clear

[Chorus]
G                 D            A                   Bm
But the master of disaster     Gets tangled in his telecaster
G                    D          A                 Bm
He can't play it any faster     When he plays the blues
G                        D             A                           Bm
When he had the heart to ask her     And every note just shook the plaster
G                        D             A                Bm
Now he's just a mean old bastard      When he plays the blues

[Solo]
G  D  A  Bm  x2

[Verse 2]
G     D
China town
A                Bm
Chasing that old dragon down
G     D
Madam Wong's
A                          Bm
We play the blues with the curtains drawn
G            D
Sidewalks of white
A                     Bm
While the A  sun beat out the night
G        D
Pounding brain
A                     Bm
My last transmission down the drain

[Chorus]
G                 D            A                   Bm
But the master of disaster     Gets tangled in his telecaster
G                    D          A                 Bm
He can't play it any faster     When he plays the blues
G                        D             A                           Bm
When he had the heart to ask her     And every note just shook the plaster
G                        D             A                Bm
Now he's just a mean old bastard      When he plays the blues

[Solo]
G  D  A  Bm  x4

[Verse 3]
G                D
There's a debt I owe
A              Bm
I'll never pay before I go
G             D
So I sing the blues
A                  Bm
Hand me down my walking shoes
G            D
You're in my heart
A                Bm
Though we may be miles apart
G          D
There's my point
A               Bm
I'll see you in another joint

[Chorus]
G                 D            A                   Bm
But the master of disaster     Gets tangled in his telecaster
G                    D          A                 Bm
He can't play it any faster     When he plays the blues
G                        D             A                           Bm
When he had the heart to ask her     And every note just shook the plaster
G                        D             A                Bm
Now he's just a mean old bastard      When he plays the blues

[Outro]
G                        D             A                Bm
Now he's just a mean old bastard      When he plays the blues
