[Verse]
G                                       C            G
You can call me your mountain, you can call me your son
G          Em                       C             D
And I'll learn to forgive all the damage you've done
G                           G            C         G
But you spit when you speak of the money I've won
          Em                         C             G
You can call me a mountain, you can call me your son

G               G         C             G
Go poison your blood and lay on your sheets
G        Em                           C     G
For the voice in my head, it is now fast asleep
G                          G              C            G
Selling souls at the strip bar, you can get them for cheap
G                         C            G
Go poison your blood and lay on your sheets

[Chorus]
          Em                         G
It's a crooked old world, it's a crooked old world
      Em                   C          G
Go smoke you a smoke, Go find you a girl
         G                     C             G
For the ship that we bail is about to set sail
      Em                  C            G
Ah give em hell, let em know we mean well

[Verse]
   G                C          G
Call me a bastard, say I'm unclean
    Em                         C             G
But it will not undo all the love that I've seen
   G                     G          C        G
Just oust another folk singer, without any scene
     Em                         C         G
You can can call me a bastard, say I'm unclean

   G                      G            C            G
Well I was worried about dying, so I called up a friend
    G            Em                     C         G
You our know we all Gotta go but don't fear the end
G         C                  G
When my time comes, I may not understand
   Em                                    C          G
You were thinking about dying, so you called up a friend

[Chorus]
Em                           G
Its a crooked old world, it's a crooked old world
Em                         C          G
Go smoke you a smoke, Go find you a girl
           G                    C          G
For the ship that we bail is about to set sail
     Em                   C           G
Ah give em hell, let em know we meant well

[Verse]
    G                                      C             G
Well there's things in the past that you learn to let go
      Em                                  C           G
There are new things to come, there are seeds to let grow
   G                                    C           G
There is truth in the detail of the knowledge you know
G             Em                         C           G
There are things in the past that you learn to let go
        Em                         C          G
Its a crooked old world, it's a crooked old world
     Em                    C         G
Go smoke you a smoke, go find you a girl
             G            G        C           G
For or the ship that we bail is about to set sail
   Em                     C            G
Ah give em hell, let em know we meant well
