G   D                    C     G
I was sittin' there all alone
      D                      C      G
I was prayin' you would come home
D     C        G          D          C  D
I was listenin' to an old blues song

D
(Baby, I'm wounded
C           G         D
Wounded and bleeding
D           C       G      A
Won't you ease my pain?)

A
You're gettin' a little impatient
A
Smokin' like a mental patient

[Chorus]
D   A   G
Happiness
     A       D    A   G
Fishnets and cigarettes
        A      D    A   G
A pagan monkey in a drss
         A      G
Tell me who can arrest*
                   D
A mind ensnared by love?
C   G        D
OOOooooooOooOOO

[Verse 2]
D                         C   G
A rogue elephant for a mind
D                         C      G
And it's treatin' me so unkind
D             C          G       D          C G A
    But in my heart it's an old blues song
                 A/E
Playful and bitchin'
A
Mischievious and earthy

[Chorus]
D   A   G
Happiness
    A        D    A   G
Fishnets and cigarettes
    A        D    A   G
A pagan monkey in a drss
         A      G
Tell me who can arrest*
                   D
A mind ensnared by love?

[Instrumental]
C G D C G D C G D G

[Verse 3]
D                      C      G
Talk about slayin' the snake
           D                 C     G    D
You got my heart bound up in shame
          C         G        D           C   G   A
But in my soul it's an old blues song
A                      A/E
This life can be so tragic
A
Until you see the magic

[Chorus]
D   A   G
Happiness
    A        D   A   G
Fishnets and cigarettes
        A      D  A   G
A pagan monkey in a dress
     A            D   A   G
I'm talking 'bout happiness
    A        D   A   G
Fishnets and cigarettes
         A     D  A   G
A pagan monkey in a dress
        A       G
Tell me who can arrest
                   D
A mind ensnared by love?

[Outro]
            C   G
Howdy baby, hey baby
D                C     G
Please stay with me, I pray
D          C   G
Hey baby, hey baby
D
Don't let me cry in vain
