Deadman’s Blues
Matt Woods
G D/F#
Don’t bother calling up my telephone
Em C
We both know how this night ends
G D/F#
Just shut the light and put a record on
Em C D
It won’t be long til I make dark your trap house door again
C D/F#
Strolling with those rings around my eyes
G D/F# Em
How I do declare, darling, you’re a sight
C D/F#
Shake off just a little of the cold
G D/F# Em C D
You know I never meant to grow so old
G
I’m a first place loser, last place friend,
D/F#
Roadhouse preacher til stage lights dim
Em
Turn me out to the dark again
C D
Don’t worry if I don’t call
G
All these part time lovers and full time fools
D/F#
Got me singing the deadman’s blues
Em
Fumbling round without a thing to lose
C D
Like I don’t want it all
C D
Hey I don’t want it all
G D/F# Em C D x2
C D/F#
There ain’t no sense in feeling like I do
G D/F# Em
When all I want’s at odds with wanting you
C D/F#
Girl I never meant to go so far
G D/F# Em
Make a debt from your tears and broken hearts
C D
It’s the perfect tool to tear myself apart
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.
