Verse 1
(G major) I was a stumble bummin' down
the neon (C major) Music City sidewalks
With the (D major) Junkie and the Juicehead who
had (C major) problems of their (G major) own
Stuck with luck it kept me standin'
just a step (C major) away from starvin'
And the (D major) talent that I swore I'd show
before (C major) I'd go back (G major) home
Verse 2
Ninety days (C major) I looked the army makin'
neither love nor money
And my (G major) only set of clothes was
gettin' closer (A major) to the bone (D major)
And the (G major) Junkie placed an order
with the (C major) Prophet on the corner
And he (D major) told him of the soul that he'd
been sellin' (C major) for a song
(G major)

Verse 3
He said my fu (C major) ture was my fortune
but I (G major) let it slip away
Slowly smokin' (D major) myself broke on
eighty (G major) cigarettes a day
(C major) Findin' out that crime ain't all
there (G major) is that doesn't pay
And writ (C major) in' words that no one's
gonna see (D major) but did you said it who said it
Verse 4
(C major) I can read my fortune in
the (G major) bottom of a glass
And (D major) I can see it's time for me
to (G major) make my last request
Won't you fill (C major) my grave with whiskey
when I'm (G major) laid away to rest
So the boys (D major) can say I drank
myself to dead (G major)
Well I drank the whole thing over
puttin' (C major) one and two together
And (D major) it added up to more of
what I (C major) didn't want to be (G major)
I ain't blamin' Music City but
it's (C major) only gonna see me
One more (D major) day and the wake up and
the time (C major) it takes to leave
(G major)
Verse 5
'Cause I got (C major) a dirty picture of
what could have been my future
In a (G major) Prophet pushin' day dreams
on a (A major) corner for a (D major) fee
And the (G major) wino lookin' lonely
at a bottle (C major) gettin' empty
And a (D major) hungry lookin' junkie
huntin' tea (C major) in sympath (G major) y
Verse 6
And I bet (C major) that junkie's laughin' after
the life (G major) he threw away
Slowly (D major) smokin' himself broke on
eighty (G major) cigarettes a day
(C major) Pleadin' down the Prophet to
a price (G major) that he can pay
And (C major) writin' words that no one's gonna
see (D major) but did you said it who said (C major) it
Verse 7
Every empty bottle is my
private (G major) crystal ball
And (D major) starin' into the future findin'
noth (G major) in' there at all
Which is (C major) what I'll miss tomorrow
when the (G major) neon shadows fall
On the (D major) Junkie and the Juicehead minus (G major) me
The Junkie and the Juicehead, Minus Me
