Drunken Barbers Hand

      Am
Three scruples to a dram boys
Am
Eight drams to an ounce
E7
Two cups will get you a pint now
        E7                 Am
And the first one’s on the house

[Verse 2]
Am
The drunkard craves just another
Am
Blind man blames the eye
E7
The poor man dreams of riches
      E7              Am
And a martyr prays to die

[Chorus]
Am
I don't need to read the papers
Am
Or the tea leaves to understand
E7
That this world's been shaved
E7                    Am
By a drunken barber's hand

[Verse 3]
Am
I've drowned in the pull of young 
love
Am
Known the high and the hurt

E7
I've felt the heartbeat quicken
       E7                 Am
At the sight of a lifted skirt

[Verse 4]
Am
I've thrilled to the big sound
Am
Felt the rumble and the roar
E7
Drove straight through the blackest 
night
     E7           Am
In a chase forevermore

[Chorus]
Am
I don't need to read the papers
Am
Or the tea leaves to understand
E7
That this world's been shaved
E7                    Am
By a drunken barber's hand

[Bridge]
Dm
I rode ten thousand miles
Am
On a carousel horse of wood
Dm
We end up where we started
E7
Get right back on if we could

[Verse 5]
Am
So go ahead make your confession
Am
To a washed up whiskey priest
E7
I'll be puttin' money down
       E7                  Am
On the rough and slouching beast

[Chorus]
Am
'Cause I don't need to read the 
papers
Am
Or the tea leaves to understand
E7
That this world's been shaved
Em                    Am
By a drunken barber's hand

[Chorus]
Am
I don't need to read the papers
Am
Or the tea leaves to understand
E7
That this world's been shaved
E7                   Am
By a drunken barber's hand
