as performed by Ray Wylie Hubbard
Stadard Tuning


Intro
G Cadd9 G  G Cadd9 G

G             Cadd9   G
I Got a woman wild as Rome

G                         Cadd9  G
She likes being naked and gazed  upon

    D                                Cadd9
She crosses a bridge, she sets it on fire

G                      Cadd9     G
Lands like a bird on a telephone wire

Chorus

D
I'm gonna holler and I'm gonna scream

Cadd9
I'm gonna get me some Mescaline

D
And then I'm gonna rhyme that with gasoline

Cadd9                      G  Cadd9  G
It's a drunken poet's dream

There's some money on the table
and a pistol on the floor
A few paperback books by Louis L'Amour
Whiskey bottles are scattered like last nights clothes
With cigarettes, papers, and Oreos

My harmonica has got a busted reed
My lips are chapped and about to bleed
She says that's nothing, when she was a kid
She danced with the dead at the Pyramids

Chorus + harmonica break

Now I'll never pay back my student loan
Smelling like 'shine or cheap cologne
She tells me not to worry 'bout Judgement day
She says dying to get in heaven just aint our way

Chorus

(slower)
I got a woman wild as Rome
(and fade)
She likes being naked and gazed  upon
