Transpose this riff into A when appropriate. Just play the B7 chord normally.
E
Ain't it hard to stumble
And land in some funny lagoon?
A
Ain't it hard to stumble
E
And land in some muddy lagoon?
B7
Especially when it's nine below zero
A (N.C.) E
And three o'clock in the afternoon.
E
Ain't gonna hang no picture,
Ain't gonna hang no picture frame.
A
Ain't gonna hang no picture,
E
Ain't gonna hang no picture frame.
B7
Well, I might look like Robert Ford
A (N.C.) E
But I feel just like a Jesse James.
E
Well, I wish I was on some
Australian mountain range.
A
Oh, I wish I was on some
E
Australian mountain range.
B7
I got no reason to be there, but I
A (N.C.) E
Imagine it would be some kind of change.
E
I got my dark sunglasses,
I got for good luck my black tooth.
A
I got my dark sunglasses,
E
I'm carryin' for good luck my black tooth.
B7
Don't ask me nothin' about nothin',
A (N.C.) E

E
I got a woman in Jackson,
I ain't gonna say her name.
A
I got a woman in Jackson,
E
I ain't gonna say her name.
B7
She's a brown—skin woman,
A (N.C.)
but I Love her just the same.
The song fades out playing the riff in E over and over.
