B
Kickin' down the road
Feelin' mighty slowed
                   E
With the likes of you
B
Gettin' mighty spaced
Never had a taste
                        E
Of what you're goin' through
B
I can't bitch
Went from rags to riches
                                E
Then to ragtime screamin' the blues

Everybody's good intention

Gotta make a fool
Gotta make a fool
                          E

Swing low
Sweet cherry o
When a strange love showed me the way
You see more
Can't keep a score
When the whore's coming on for the play

Gotta make a fool
Gotta make a fool

Try to make a fool outta me

E. poe, eatin' crow
                                        E
Wonder if he knowed that the Raven was mad
B
Time passed, and words lost the last
                      E
Of the thing he ever had
