The dead notes can be strummed as a part of the schord, but muting them makes
left hand transition easier


[Intro]
Am C G Gsus4  x4

Am
Met a fine red boned mami
                      C        G      Gsus4
She told me that her name was Lucille
Am
Met her on Fountain Avenue
                       C                   G      Gsus4
Sitting on the back of a Cadillac Coupe De Ville
Am
She said, I'm a liar, a thief, I'm a junkie
     C              G    Gsus4
And I used to be a whore
Am
And I've been trying to shake this monkey o long
  C                       G     Gsus4
I just can't take it no more

Am
She said I got a weakness
        C                G    Gsus4
I got a hunger, I got a jones
Am
I'm sick and I need to get well
 C                 G     Gsus4
I hurt deep in my bone
Am
And I got a weakness
        C                G     Gsus4
I got a fever, I got a thirst
Am
I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble
      C                  G       Gsus4
Just waiting for it to burst

Am C G Gsus4 x2

Am
We talked all afternoon
             C                 G    Gsus4
She made me cry, I told some jokes
Am
She looked me deep in my eyes
            C                       G          Gsus4
And told me love was nothing but a cruel hoax
Am
Her grandmother died when she was five
        C                 G    Gsus4
And she never did know her folks
Am
Her father fell in a gun fight
         C              G    Gsus4
And her mother by an overdose

Am
She said I got a weakness
        C                G    Gsus4
I got a hunger, I got a jones
Am
I'm sick and I need to get well
   C               G     Gsus4
I hurt deep in my bones
Am
And I got a weakness
          C             G     Gsus4
I got a fever, I got a thirst
Am
I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble
       C                G       Gsus4
Just waiting for it to burst

                            Am
She said, I've slept with gangsters
                         C
Thugs and smugglers, congressman and governors
            Am
I've seen therapists and holy men
            C            G          Gsus4
But this weakness is my only friend
     Am
It feeds my need, it numbs my soul
    C
It starts to creep and take control
  Am
I sell my flesh, I pierce my skin
       C              G      Gsus4
And tomorrow I do it all again


Am
´Cause said I got a weakness
          C              G    Gsus4
I got a hunger, I got a jones
Am
I'm sick and I need to get well
   C               G     Gsus4
I hurt deep in my bone
Am
And I got a weakness
          C              G     Gsus4
I got a fever, I got a thirst
Am
I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble
        C                G       Gsus4   Am
Just waiting for it to burst
