Burn Card

G C


[Verse 1]
G
The trickin' leads to my worried mind
                             C
My worried mind, it leads to you
                D            G
And thinkin' of you leads to nowhere
                        D     C
But to the Devil in the ocean blue
          D        G
I ask the moon for orchids
                      D       Em           D       C
She said "How 'bout a drop of blood from a rolling stone?"
                   D                   G
She never fails to tickle my funny bone


[Verse 2]
G
How do you steal what you really want
                             C
When what you really want is free?
                D            G
And how do you deal when you lost at the wheel
                  D          C
Only thinkin' how it 'oughta be?
         D        G
Held my love for ransom
           D    Em    D       C
And posted a reward I cannot afford
                    D              G
A dynamite from the ceiling to the floor


[Pre-Chorus]
                 C                    D
Yeah from your one-eyed-jacks To your rolled up trips
        G                     C
I'll be gone when your pocket aces flip
          B/C      D          C       G
And there ain't no river that needs a dam
       Em       D      C
Just a slow and steady drip


[Chorus]
             D/G  Em/G  G
I'll be your burn card
Em/G                        D/G
Lost in the shuffle at the
Em/G
Bottom of the deck, yeah
D/G
Tryin' to hide
        Em/G
But the highway's low
        D/G
And the low way's mine
       Em/G D/G Em/G D/G   Em/G
You can burn         me eternally
D/G                     Em/G
Out to the snow and the wind and the rain
    D/G                 Em/G
And again and again and again and
         D                                  G
I'm just leavin' a little worse than when I came

[Verse 3]
G
Trouble is as a trouble does
                        C
When it's on a troubled mind
        D        G
Reasons come and reasons will go
                   D             C
When the blind are followin' the blind
          D        G
The coffin in that cradle
                     D    Em           D     C
The daughter and the Holy Ghost in the same room
                        D                 G
Me, I'm just makin' the dust fly with the broom


[Pre-Chorus]
                 C                    D
Yeah from your one-eyed-jacks To your rolled up trips
        G                     C
I'll be gone when your pocket aces flip
          B/C      D          C       G
And there ain't no river that needs a dam
       Em       D      C
Just a slow and steady drip


[Chorus]
             D/G  Em/G D/G Em/G  G
I'll be your burn card
Em/G                        D/G
Lost in the shuffle at the
Em/G                  D/G
Bottom of the deck, yeah
Em/G
Tryin' to hide
        D/G                   Em/G
Where the aces are low and the blinds are too high
    D/G Em/G D/G Em/G D/G  Em/G D/G
You can burn                 me eternally
Em/G                    D/G
Out to the snow and the wind and the rain
    Em/G                D/G       Em/G
And again and again and again and
         D                                  G
I'm just leavin' a little worse than when I came
