Master Of Disaster

Master of Disaster – John Hiatt

VERSE 1

G D A Bm

Close one there Choking in clean underwear

G D A Bm

Bleeding tongue Eight ball pounding in my lungs

G D A Bm

Ship to shore I can't see the coastline anymore

G D A Bm

I shouldn't be here I thought I made that loud and clear

CHORUS

G D A Bm

But the master of disaster Gets tangled in his telecaster

G D A Bm

He can't play it any faster When he plays the blues

G D A Bm

When he had the heart to ask her And every note just shook the plaster

G D A Bm

Now he's just a mean old bastard When he plays the blues

VERSE 2

China town

Chasing that old dragon down

Madam Wong's

We play the blues with the curtains drawn

Sidewalks of white

While the LA sun beat out the night

Pounding brain

My last transmission down the drain

[CHORUS]

VERSE 2

There's a debt I owe

I'll never pay before I go

So I sing the blues

Hand me down my walking shoes

You're in my heart

Though we may be miles apart

There's my point

I'll see you in another joint

[CHORUS]
