  			Primeira Parte 

A                                            E 
Me and a big Dave were just trying to stay upright 
                                                      A 
We were chasing white lines and warping our minds last night 

We were killing the time though we sure didn't know it 
D 
Hunting down rhymes with a Kentucky poet 
E                                        A 
Me and big Dave were just trying to stay alive 

Segunda Parte 

A 
There's some folks around town 
                                       E 
That might cuss our names down to the floor 

They might claim that were loners 
                      A 
No account stoners and more 

It's the same kind of people claim to be chosen 
D 
Their ears made of stone and their tongues made of poison 
  E                                                    A 
The doctrine they preach has got nothing that they can teach me

Terceira Parte 

 A                                                           E 
Well I don't know if Dave hates the same kind of hate that I do 
                                                   A 
He knows that I know that he's been cut down by it too 

Well people get talking 'bout things that we uses 
D 
I ain't in the business of making excuses 
E                                        A 
Me and big Dave were just trying to stay alive 

This whole world's full of ghosts 
                                    E 
That I believe that most folks can't see 
                                                  A 
The particular demons that reason with big Dave and me
