Deadman’s Blues
Matt Woods
GDon’t bother calling up my D/F#telephone
EmWe both know how this night Cends
GJust shut the light and put a D/F#record on 
EmIt won’t be long til I make dark your Ctrap house door Dagain
CStrolling with those rings around my D/F#eyes
How I Gdo declare, D/F#darling, you’re a Emsight
CShake off just a little of the D/F#cold
You Gknow I never D/F#meant to grow so EmoldC  D  
I’m a Gfirst place loser, last place friend,
D/F#Roadhouse preacher til stage lights dim
EmTurn me out to the dark again
Don’t Cworry if I don’t Dcall
All these Gpart time lovers and full time fools
D/F#Got me singing the deadman’s blues 
EmFumbling round without a thing to lose
Like CI don’t want it allD  
Hey CI don’t want it allD  
       G       D/F#       Em      C         Dx2
There Cain’t no sense in feeling like I D/F#do
When Gall I want’s at D/F#odds with wanting Emyou
CGirl I never meant to go so D/F#far
Make a Gdebt from your D/F#tears and broken Emhearts
It’s the Cperfect tool to tear myself Dapart
I’m a first place loser, last place friend,
Roadhouse preacher til stage lights dim
Turn me out to the dark again
Don’t worry if I don’t call
All these part time lovers
And full time fools
Got me singing the deadman’s blues 
Fumbling round without a thing to lose
Like I don’t want it all
Hell I don’t want it all
x2
Don’t bother calling up my telephone 
We both know how this night ends
*Here's the D/F# (I'm sure that's not the correct name.)

Matt plays the song in straight G with no capo. I've been playing it in D#(same 
chords capoed on the 4th). That's the only way I can get close to singing all the notes he does.
