Intro:

	(solo piano):

	G Bm/F# Em      [A B C C# D C B A  piano l.h, single notes]
	/   /   /   /

Verse 1:

	 G    Bm/F#     Em         Am       D
	Still scowling black Good Captain Clack
	      G Bm/F# Em    Am   [verses: D  organ solo: D7-9]
	Must eat his humble pie
	     G Bm/F# G7/F     C/E    Cm/Eb    [to coda on repeat]
	His bed  is  made the colors fade
	     G        Em      Am   [verses: D7   organ solo: D+]
	His eyes once wet are dry

Verse 2:

	The naked muse who sits and chews
	Tobacco off a tree
	Removes his shoes, gives way to booze
	      G  Em   Am  D  G  [N.C.]
	And searches endlessly

Bridge:

	Eb             Bb
	See the naked jumberlack
	Ab           Eb
	Sip his aphrodisiac
	 F7             Bb
	Cotton picking farmers three
	  Eb              Bb
	Though I lost my weathervane
	Ab              Eb
	And of sense I have one grain
	F7                   Bb         [N.C.]
	I'm content sipping lemon tea

Instrumental break:

	[organ solo over Verse 1 chords, altered as indicated]
