CHORUS AND END
PISS UP A ROPE

[INTRO: G...D...G...G...]

	G
My dinner?s on fire while she watches T.V.
	C
And if you ever wonder what it?s like to be me
	G
She takes all my money and leaves me no smokes
D
Yells at my buddies and insults my folks
	G
I ^?m breakin? my back doin the best that I can
	      C
She?s got time for the dog and none for her man
G			 D						G
And I?m no dope, but I can?t cope so hit the fuckin road and piss up a
rope

		G
A - you can ---  piss.... up a rope
		C
And you can put on your shoes hit the road get truckin?
G
Pack your bag I don?t need the ag
		D
On your knees you big booty bitch start suckin?
	G
You ride my ass like a horse in a saddle
		C
Now you?re up shit?s creek with a turd for a paddle
G		D			G
And I can?t cope, a- piss up a rope

A you can piss up a rope and feel the pissy dribble
You can piss up a rope and watch me giggle
For the last six months I been packin? your bag
You can wash my balls with a warm wet rag
Till my balls feel smooth and soft like silk
I?m sick of your mouth and your two percent milk
And I can?t cope, a - piss up a rope

You Were the Fool

E
Bless the father bless the sun, cross your heart cause you're the on
Asus4                         		E
Collecting moonbeams in the morning
E
Curvy sticks and wooden poles assisting you in plugging holes
Asus4                                 			E
Plug them holes until you see straight through to the minds eye


D                                            		A
Think about it turn around and go back to the quiet sound
      Am7                                      	A6/7sus4
Of Jim and Dan prancing around the pool
                         E                         A            E
You were the fool, and I feel sorry for you, you were the fool
                      D                      		A      E
But there's something you can do


You can wash your arm in a pool of mud, you can chop a tree to prevent
a flood
You can speak with a turtle just by flipping him around
You can build a boat and sail the sea, you can buy a moat and forge a
key
Initiate the sequence, create catastrophe
