Methamphetamine

Intro

A E F#m E

Verse 1:

A
I took the night shift

Another nickel on the dime
E
Try to play it straight make it different this time
F#m                                E
Still waiting to meet the next ex wife
A
It's either watching these gauges for Monsanto
E
Or a bar back job at the casino
F#m                                                 E
The army won't want me after what this body's been through

Chorus:
D                            A
Would you take me back North Carolina
               E            D
Would you take me back Arkansas
D                            A
Blissful days still there to remember
        E                     D
Methamphetamine was the final straw

Solo over chorus chords:

D E A D E A D E A D

Verse 2:

I had a killer job in a backup band
Playing guitar in Branson
Two shows a night brought the money to chase down sin

Now it's another weekend lonely at home
Late night TV evangelist drone
I'm healthy now but I really don't know if I'll ever be free

Repeat Chorus x2

Outro: solo over chorus chords:

D E A D E A D E A D
