The Sailor With The Bloodshot Eye

E D
I was once born where I don't belong
C G
And I did believe in what I know is wrong
So I packed up my pants and my fiddle case
And wiped the dirt right off of my face
And yonder and yonder I went by foot
Till my ears and eyes were all filled with soot
I came across a town so torn and ragged and crooked and bent
With my buttons and clothes and hair all unkempt
Hens and spoons and ashes all around the curb
And I came across a briefcase inscribed "do not disturb"
F Dmin A C
As I yelled above what could all this tell with a great galactic sigh
G Eb G B C D A E
"nothing but trouble my son, nothing but grief" answered the Sailor with the Bloodshot eye

More verses to come
