Poor Man's Poison

Hey Mister

Poor Man's Poison


Tom: Bm

Bm  A  E  (X2)

[Verse 1]

Bm                          A
My head's hanging low and my shoes are
E
worn

             Bm
I've had the blues in my soul since the
A           E
day I was born
    Bm                         A
The devil's been on my back now for
           E
quite some time
               Bm
Yeah it's just been me and him, and the
A
whispering wind
           E
And it's, it's time to find a little peace of mind

[Chorus]

       Bm                  G
I said hey mister hey, if you're going my way
        E                 A
I could sure use a ride out of this place

Bm                  G
Hey mister hey, he's coming around
           E
And I could sure use a ride out of this town
             Bm             G
Cause it's a long way, to the bottom
       E               A
It's a long way to get back on top
Bm              G
Hey mister hey, going my way
        E
I could sure use a ride out of this place

Bm  A  E (x2)

[Verse 2]

 Bm                           A
I've been looking for a sign, looking
      E
for a friend
                    Bm
Been looking at the same dead eyes in
     A
the mirror
         E
Watching myself go down a dead end
Bm                    A
I've been waiting on a prayer that
                 E
never made it to God
               Bm
Yeah it's like going through hell on a
A
Sunday
         E
But then going through hell's about all I got

[Chorus]

       Bm                  G
I said hey mister hey, if you're going
my way
       E                A
I could sure use a ride out of this place

Bm                 G
Hey mister hey, he's coming around
            E
And I could sure use a ride out of this town
             Bm         G
Cause it's a long way, to the bottom
       E              A
It's a long way to get back on top
Bm              G
Hey mister hey, going my way
        E
I could sure use a ride out of this place
