so i just play a modified F/G (100003) for the verses listen to the song to get
the timing down
For the second time he says its too easy you can do a Fmaj7(033210) or a C
whichever sounds better to you…. p.s i know its a little rough did everything by ear.

Just a one room country[F/G] shack
Gonna lie here on m[F/G]y back
Its too easy
Its too easy to feel good

Bootleg whiskey all the time
Aint no reason to decline
Its too easy
Its too easy to feel good
Oh this life is but a dream
Used to worry bout’ tomorrow
C D N/C(/ch)
Now I dont care, baby even if I should

Gamblers shuffling their cards
I don?t know why they work so hard
Its too easy
Its too easy to feel good

Violin instrumental

I might pawn my watch and chain
I might sleep out in the rain
Its too easy
its to easy to feel good

Do you miss me and my songs?
I bet you hardly know I?m gone
Its too easy
Its too easy to feel good
I spent Christmas night in jail
I?ve been gone out on the trail
C D N/C
So I packed my bags And vanished in the wood

Just a one room country shack
Gonna lie here on my back
Its too easy
Its too easy to feel good

Violin instrumental

Its too easy
Its too easy too feel good
Its too easy
Its too easy too feel good

Verse 1:
Ruby, let down your golden hair
When I’m standing at the bottom of your stairs
Ruby, I can see your TV on
But the people there, they flicker and they’re gone

Bridge:
So let down your golden hair for me tonight
Let down your golden hair for me to climb

Chorus:
Just like an old-time telegraph man
I came here with a simple job to do
‘Cause that news coming down the wire
Says that your head’s on fire
And I’m trying to get a message thr-ough to you

Ruby, you ain’t lonely yet
With your crystal and your Russian cigarette
Ruby, haven’t you heard before?
What good?s finest tower when it hasn’t got a door?
So let down your golden hair for me to climb
Let down your golden hair for me tonight
Just like an old-time telegraph man
I came here with a simple job to do
‘Cause that news coming down the wire
Says that your bed’s on fire
And I’m trying to get a message through to you

Ruby

I’m that old-time telegraph man
And I came here with a simple job to do
‘Cause that news coming down the wire
Says that your world’s on fire
And I’m trying to get a message through to you

I’m that old-time telegraph man
And I came here with a simple job to do
‘Cause that news coming down the wire
Says that your world’s on fire
And I’m trying to get a message through to you
