Tom: G
G C G
I got a woman who's wild as Rome
G C G
She likes being naked and gazed upon
G C G
She crosses a bridge, she sets it on fire
G C G
She lands like a bird on a telephone wire
[Chorus]
D
I'm gonna holler and I'm gonna scream
C G
I'm gonna get me some mescaline
D
And then I'm gonna rhyme that with gasoline
G C G
It's a drunken poet's dream
[Verse 2]
G C G
There's some money on the table and a pistol on the floor,
G C G
a few paperback books by Louie L'amour
G C G
Whiskey bottles are scattered like last night's clothes,
G C G
with cigarettes and papers and Oreos
[Verse 3]
G C G
My harmonica has got a busted reed
G C G
My lips are chapped and about to bleed
G C G
She says that's nothing, when she was a kid
G C G
she danced with the dead at the pyramids
[Chorus]
D
I'm gonna holler and I'm gonna scream
C G
I'm gonna get me some mescaline
D
And then I'm gonna rhyme that with gasoline
G C G D
It's a drunken poet's dream
[Harmonica Solo]
| G C | G | x4
[Guitar Solo]
| G C | G | x4, G
[Verse 4]
G C G
Now I'll never pay back my student loans
G C G
Smellin' like Coors and cheap cologne
G C G
She tells me not to worry about judgement day
G C *
She says dyin' to get in heaven just ain't our way
[Chorus]
D
And I'm gonna holler and I'm gonna scream
C G
I'm gonna get me some mescaline
D
And then I'm gonna rhyme that with gasoline
G C G
It's a drunken poet's dream
[Outro]
G C G
I got a woman who's wild as Rome
G C G
She likes being naked and gazed upon
