Frank Zappa — Lonesome Cowboy Burt Chords
Sung by Jimmy Carl Black:
C
My name is Burtram
F
I am a redneck
C
All my friends,
F
They call me 'Burt'
(Hi, Burt!)
C
All my family,
F
From down in Texas
C
Make their livin'
G
Diggin' dirt
THEN ITS THE THE SAME WITH THE OTHER VERSES
Come out here to Californy,
Just to find me
Some pretty girls
Ones I seen
Gets me so horny;
Ruby lips,
'N teeth like pearls!
Wanna love 'em all!
Wanna love 'em dearly!
Wanna pretty girl—
I'll even pay!
I'll buy 'em furs!
I'll buy 'em jewelry!
I know they like me;
Here's what I say:
UNTIL:
A E
I'm lonesome Cowboy Burt!
(Speakin' atcha!)
A E
Come smell my fringe—y shirt!
(Reekin' atcha!)
A E
My cowboy pants,
A E
My cowboy dance,
A E
My bold advance,
D G
On this here waitress . . .
Yodel—oh—oo—pee—hey
Yodel—oh—oo—pee!
E A
(He's lonesome Cowboy Burt
E A
Don'tcha get his feelings hurt)
D
Come out in this place,
A
'N I'll buy you a taste,
E
You can sit on my face—
Where's my waitress?
Key change:
C
Burtram, Burtram redneck
C
Burtram, Burtram redneck
C
I'm an awful nice guy!
Sweat all day in the sun!
Roofer by trade,
F
Quite a bundle I've made,
D
I'm unionized roofin' old
G
Son—of—a—gun!
(He's a unionized roofin' old
Son—of—a—gun!)
Then the same for the next 2 verses
When I get off, I get plastered
Drink till I fall onna floor,
Find me some Communist bastard,
'N stomp on his face till he don't
Move no more!
(He stomps on his face till he don't
Move no more!)
I fuss, an' I cuss an' I keep on drinkin',
Till my eyes puff up an' turn red!
I drool on m'shirt,
I see if he's hurt,
Kick him again in the head, yes!
D G
Kick him again in the head, boys!
Then repeat 'Im lonesome Cowboy Burt' verse before finishing
