My bulldog is barking in the backyard -

enough to raise a dead man from his grave.

And I can't concentrate on what I'm doing.

Disturbance gonna to crucify my days.

And the days they get longer and longer.
Am/E D7/F# G7 /D /G /F# E7-9 E7/B E7
And the nighttime is a time of little use.
/B D /A /D /C# B7 /F#
For I just get ug - ly and older.

I get juiced on Mateus and just hang loose.

And I get - bombed for breakfast in the morning.

I get bombed for dinner time and tea.

My landlady lives in a caravan.
Am/E D7/F# G7 /D /G /F# E7-9 E7/B E7
Well that is when she isn't in my arms.
/B D /A /D /C# B7 /F#
And it seems I pay the rent in human kindness.
/B /F# E7 /B E7 Gsus/C# A *
But my liquor also helps to grease her palms.
G/B A/C# D /A /D /A /D /A
And the ladies are all getting wrinkles.
Am/E D7/F# G7 /D /G /F# E7-9 E7/B E7
And they're falling apart at the seams.
/B D /A /D /C# B7 /F#
Well I just get high on tequila.
/B /F# E7 /B A7 /B-/C# D /A /D /A
And see visions of vineyards in my dreams.
