Methhead

Tom: Am

          Dm              F
I saw him down in a dump, hurling armloads of junk
       Am                       G  F
into a pickup, bound for the yard.
       Dm                           F
He was skiddish and strange, like a wild dog with mange
                 G             F         Dm
and there was blood, where his veins ran hard.
       Dm                                  F
Wadin' deep through the grime, he found a long copper line
        Am                               G   F
then he jumped up, and leaped to the ground.
           Dm                                   F
You'd have thought he'd struck gold, the way he kicked and he rolled
               G      F           Dm
and like a bandit, he tore out of town.

[Chorus]
   Dm                   F
Oh now, he's out on the prowl
           Am                      G    F
you better get up, and go back inside.
             Dm                         F
Because he's loose on the land, getting all that he can
          G         F          Dm
and there won't be, nowhere to hide.
         Dm                       F
Yea he's crawling his way, to his fix for the day
           Am                         G    F
you won't stop him, he's bent to be fed.
         Dm                       F
He's the low heathen kind, with a shit mangled mind
         G       F           Dm
the desperate, fucking methhead.

[Verse 2]
            Dm                       F
There was a girl tall and thin, with scabbed yellow skin
         Am                         G    F
inside a rest stop, I won't soon forget.
        Dm                           F
She was digging at a rash, trying to deal up some cash
         G         F           Dm
saying baby, i'm clean and i'm wet.
       Dm              F
I just kept pacing by, swatting through the flies
    Am                    G   F
her stench, rancid and stout.
           Dm                                 F
While she stood there crying please, with her fists between her knees
           G         F             Dm
and the sores, draining arond her mouth.

[Chorus 2]
Dm            F
Oh now, she's out on the prowl
           Am                     G     F
you better get up, and go back inside.
              Dm                         F
Because she's loose on the land, getting all that she can
           G           F       Dm
and there won't be, nowhere to hide.
           Dm                         F
Yea she'll bum and she'll beg, she'll knaw at your leg
          Am                        G    F
you can't kill her, she's already dead.
          Dm                   F
She's the empty eyed soul, the zombie like foal
        G         F       Dm
the feanding, fucking methhead.

[Verse 3]
              Dm                            F
It's getting dark pretty soon, they love to lurk by the moon
       Am                        G    F
so i'm out back, shoveling the dirt.
          Dm                 F
I'm gonna dig me a whole, as far as I can go
                G         G         Dm
and when they fall, i'll cover them up.

[Chorus 3]
Dm              F
Oh now, they're out on the prowl
           Am                     G    F
you better get up, and go back inside.
                Dm                 F
Because they're sweeping the land, getting all that they can
            G          F       Dm
and there won't be, nowhere to hide.
                Dm                           F
They've got the taste on their tounge, their fates have been hung
       Am                       G     F
it's a fever, that's already spread.
     Dm                            Fm
From out far and wide, they're the fit to be tied
       G         F         Dm
the worthless, fucking methhead.
