Slaid Cleaves – Drunken Barbers Hand chords

[Verse 1]
      AmThree scruples to a dram boys
AmEight drams to an ounce
Dm                      AmTwo cups will get you a pint now
        E7And the first one’s on the house

[Verse 2]
AmThe drunkard craves just another
AmBlind man blames the eye
Dm                     AmThe poor man dreams of riches
      E7              AmAnd a martyr prays to die

[Chorus]
AmI don't need to read the papers
DmOr the tea leaves to understand
AmThat this world's been shaved
Em                    AmBy a drunken barber's hand

[Verse 3]
AmI've drowned in the pull of young love
AmKnown the high and the hurt
Dm                      AmI've felt the heartbeat quicken
       E7At the sight of a lifted skirt

[Verse 4]
AmI've thrilled to the big sound
AmFelt the rumble and the roar
Dm                          AmDrove straight through the blackest night
     E7           AmIn a chase forevermore

[Chorus]
AmI don't need to read the papers
DmOr the tea leaves to understand
AmThat this world's been shaved
Em                    AmBy a drunken barber's hand

[Bridge]
DmI rode ten thousand miles
AmOn a carousel horse of wood
DmWe end up where we started
EmGet right back on if we could

[Verse 5]
AmSo go ahead make your confession
AmTo a washed up whiskey priest
Dm                    AmI'll be puttin' money down
       E7                  AmOn the rough and slouching beast

[Chorus]
Am'Cause I don't need to read the papers
DmOr the tea leaves to understand
AmThat this world's been shaved
Em                    AmBy a drunken barber's hand

[Chorus]
AmI don't need to read the papers
DmOr the tea leaves to understand
AmThat this world's been shaved
Em                    AmBy a drunken barber's hand
