INTRO: A

Taking a dip on the sunset strip in the mornin’
Ain’t nothing like the smell of tofu and high dollar wine
They said maybe all of them cars locking down the I-5
Yeah I find it amazing these rats I’ve been chasing are helping me remember a time

CHORUS:
When the only LA I knew was lower Alabama
Back when me and Hannah were wishing on a southern star
Now its so complicated, I really hate it, why’d I ever want to go so far
Taking depression pills in the Hollywood Hills
Acting like I’m playing the part

All this gripping and grinning, losing and winning, and running
Promises break like an egg on the hot asphalt
What the hell was I thinking, drinking like I’d never get caught
These high dollar women, and the fame and the fortune, ain’t worth the ticket I bought

CHORUS

Taking depression pills in the Hollywood Hills
Acting like I’m playing the part

OUTRO (chorus chords then intro

POOR MAN BLUES

rich mans got his picture on the cover of magazine
theres a pampered life with a trophy wife and his long black limosines
hes got all the money in the whole wide world and toys hell never use
but he dont know a damn thing bout when a poor man gets the blues

rich man thinks his shoes are made to walk wherever he wants
from the top of all them high rise buildings to the bottom of the honkytonks
hell step on everything in between but he wont walk a mile in my shoes
and he dont know a damn thing bout when a poor man gets the blues

he thinks his money rules the world and he dont give a damn
bout a low class backwoods country boy from deep south alabam
he uses folks like me just to keep his sorry ass amused
well son you better watch your back when a poor man gets the blues

rich man waltezd righth into her life swept her off her feet
for all his fame and fortune lord knows i couldnt compete
when he took her love away from me i had nothing else to lose
so i taught that rich man just what happens when a poor man gets the blues

he thinks his money rules the world and he dont give a damn
bout a low class backwoods country boy from deep south alabam
he uses folks like me just to keep his sorry ass amused
well son youd better watch your back when a poor man gets the blues

-In other words. Hammer on the A chord, slide to the 5th fret,
back down to 2 and pull off.
Then Hammer on the A chord, slide to the 5th fret,
then to 7th, and then play an E at the 7th fret.

Play this through the verses.

Verse:

I was born by a fire in a cold dark cave
In the age of the dinosaur
When a caveman caught his cavewoman
Loving on the missing link next door
There was crying and screaming and
War drums beating and a wave of violence
None of them folks survived but me
And I’ve been hanging around ever since

Chorus:
‘Cause I’m a heartache never see me coming
I’ll always take you by surprise
I’m a heartache hungry and hunting
For someone I can eat alive
By the time you know I’m on you buddy it’s too late
A G D (When he sings “Heartache” share the word with those chords)
I’m a heartache

Verse: (Again, play the intro through the verse)
I watched you taking off tonight
And I knew where you were headed to
I saw that sweet young thing
You met at that dirty old motel room
I’m gnawing on your pretty little wife
Waiting up for you at home
And you don’t even know it but I’m just saving you for later
When I can get you all alone

Chorus:
‘Cause I’m a heartache never see me coming
I’ll always take you by surprise
I’m a heartache hungry and hunting
For someone I can eat alive
By the time you know I’m on you buddy it’s too late
I’m a heartache

A G D (When he sings “Heartache” share the word with those chords)
I’m a heartache}x3

Don’t strum this, but play around with the intro, just pickin’. It’s the same
rythmn as the regular intro; just picking.

From Antony and Ceopatra
Samson and Delilah
To Jackie and JKK
Elvis and Priscilla
Charles and Diana
I’d say I’ve had some pretty good days
You may not believe it
But you and me son
We’re about to have some real fun
‘Cause I’m coming I’m coming…

-That’s the acoustic part, I even threw in some electric for you
with that solo, but no more, hehe.
I would tab the ending, but, I don’t have an electric.
