Tom: F

F  Dm  Bb7+  F/C  F  Dm  Bb7+  F/C

F                 C / Dm Dm
Dust settles on a thin cloud
Bb                        F        C7
Sends a fog drifting to a worn out crowd
Bb                    Bb7        C
I've had my face in a mirror for twenty four hours
                           C/E F
Staring at a line of white pow-der

F                   C    Dm
High-priced madness pays the tab
     Bb                                    F       C7
I've scraped too much of nothing from your plastic bag
Bb                       Bb7         C
I'm a catatonic son of a bitch who's had
        C                 C/E F   
A touch too much of white pow-der

Bb                F       F  C/F
And she's a habit I can't handle
Bb           F       F  C/F
For a reason I can't say
Bb                 F          F C/F
I'm in love with a wild white lady
Bb                      C
She's as sweet as the stories say
      Dm           F/C
White powder white lady
Bb
You're one and the same
F/A             Bb7
Come on down to my house won't you
    Bb       C   F     Dm  Bb7+ C
And hit this boy again

F                Dm
Shock waves to a tired brain
Bb                           F    C7
Sends that hungry lady to my door again
Bb                        Bb7                   C
She's my shelter from the storm when I feel the rain
C                  C/E F
Entertaining white pow-der

F                         Dm
I feel I'm dry-docked and tongue-tied
Bb                               F       C7
Heaven sends a stretcher for the kids to ride
Bb             Bb7                         C
I might just escape while the others might die
C                         C/E F
Riding on a high of white pow-der

(CHORUS)

(INSTRUMENTAL)

(CHORUS)

      F             Dm  
White powder, white lady,
Bb       C    F
Hit this boy again
(REPEAT, FADE)
