David Allan Coe – A Sense of Humor
Capo 1
F
Every night another woman
Bb
Every day a different town
C
If I'm not accused of speeding
F
I'm accused of coming down
With a legal dose of something
Bb
That you heard was going 'round
C F
And you wondered why I lost my Sense of Humor.
F
Every song another record
Bb
Every day just like a clock
C
Knowing well I've had to take it
F
Till I make it to the top
With the devil right behind me
Bb
And my heart about to stop
C F
Then you wondered why I lost my Sense of Humor.
Bb
Twenty years I was in prison
F
More than that I was alone
Bb
Some lily-white reporter
C
Thinks it's time that I was stoned
F
Without sin, he wrote the story
Bb
And it chilled me to the bone
C F
Then he wondered why I lost my Sense of Humor.
F
I shaved my beard and cut my hair off
Bb
It don't matter anyhow
C
It was truth that told the answers
F
To the questions up till now
"Crucify him," someone shouted
Bb
From the safety of the crowd
C F
Then they wondered why I lost my Sense of Humor.
F
Hey, take them crosses from my doorstep
Bb
There's no reason to my rhyme
C
Everybody knows somebody
F
Will take care of me in time
I made friends of all you stand for
Bb
But the blind can't lead the blind
C F
Just be glad I haven't lost my Sense of Humor.
C F
Just be glad I haven't lost my Sense of Humor
'Cause if I ever catch you I'm gonna kick your ass.

What CD is this on? -cabledog85 | 2/24/2004 | actually it sounds better if you play the f#M7....which is liek this.... e---2--- b---2--- g---2--- d---2--- a---4--- e---2--- -chad_jarnigan | 11/28/2004 | The album is called David Allen Coe Rides Again. Hands down the best country/western album ever produced by anyone. -djtheall | 6/7/2004 | Actually, almost all of the songs on "Rides Again" are played capo'ed @ the 3rd fret (DAC capos at the 3rd fret very often). Try "Sense of Humor" capo'ed @ the 3rd, main chords are D - G - A. It's been a while since I've strummed through the entire song, so I can't remember the "20 yrs. I was in prison" bridge part exactly, but it's easy enough to figure out once you're playing it capo'ed @ the 3rd (once again, along with nearly every song on the album). When I get some time on my hands, I'll try to update correct versions of most of DAC's songs (with the exceptions of the ones here that are currently correct, of course). -MDRutherford | 12/13/2013 |
