Oh My Poison

Shakey Graves


Tom: E

E
so the old folk warned

from the year before  
                         B
keeps a thumb in my street 
                       E
climbing in my backseat

so what if I lay

down my head till one day
                B
just lift my bones
                E
from coast to coast



        A
oh my poison
                                           E
keeps traveling as you grin from ear to ear
B                                                     A
I'd like to stick around but I sure can't wake up here
            E
oh my poison, oh

oh my poison, oh




E
so the sun shed slow 

on the musty water
                        B
so buy some real estate 
                E
gather some daughters

teach em all about mercy

keep em all thirsty
                B
love sure is blind
                E
from time to time



        A
oh my poison
                                           E
keeps traveling as you grin from ear to ear
B                                                     A
I'd like to stick around but I sure can't wake up here
            E
oh my poison, oh
