Skid Row – Makin A Mess chords

[Verse 1]
ET-bone Billy just a singin' the blues
DCaught his lady with another man
A                            GLit up a smoke and did some talkin'
                    EWith the back of his hand....Smack!

EShe started shakin', started losing her mind
           DBut he was kicking back and playing it cool
ASigned her walkin' papers
             G             ETook the 5:15 to Kalamazoo

[Pre-Chorus]
ASing for your supper,
EmNobody rides for free
D                               BEat your heart out, I'll send it C.O.D.

[Chorus]
E              F#     GOne, two baby what you do
AThree, four let me show you the door
G                          F#        F      EmYou're better off dead than makin' a mess of me
E                     F#   GFive, six take your last licks
ASeven, eight let me give it to you straight
G                           F#       F       EmYou're better off dead than makin' a mess of me

[Verse 2]
E                                       DNow Billy-boy's out havin' a ball, playin' fiddle at the local bar
A                             G            EDark shades, cool kicks, he's Hollywood Blvd.
ESlick Daddy and his fat cigar sayin':
D"Sign along the dotted line!"
AHe shook his head and said:
G                                  E"All I need is this fiddle of mine!"

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]
E              F#     GOne, two baby what you do
AThree, four let me show you the door
G                          F#        F      EmYou're better off dead than makin' a mess of me
E                     F#   GFive, six take your last licks
ASeven, eight let me give it to you straight
G                           F#       F       EmYou're better off dead than makin' a mess of me

GWhen trouble came knockin'
D                          EBilly kept rockin' like this…

[Pre-Chorus]
ASing for your supper,
EmNobody rides for free
