The Wino And I Know
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
G G C G G C G
[Verse 1]
G
The ice cream man, he's a hillbilly fan
G
Got seventy-eights by Hank Snow
C
Walks down the street, shufflin' his feet
G
To a rhythm that only he knows
Bm C
And I've seen him in so many places
Bm F D
I saw him the night I was born
D G
In a Bourbon Street bar, I received my first scar
D C G
From an old man so tattered and torn
[Chorus]
C
And the wino and I know the pain of street singin'
G
Like a door-to-door salesman knows the pains of bell ringin'
D C
Strange situation, wild occupation
C G
Livin' my life like a song
[Verse 2]
G
The coffee is strong at the Cafe Du Monde
G
The donuts are too hot to touch
C
Just like a fool, when those sweet goodies cool
G
I eat till I eat way too much
Bm C
'Cause I'm livin' on things that excite me
Bm F D
Be they pastry, lobster or love
D G
I'm just tryin' to get by being quiet and shy
D C G
In a world full of pushin' and shovin’
[Chorus]
C
And the wino and I know the pain of back bustin'
G
Like the farmer knows the pain of his pickup truck rustin'
D C
Strange situation, wild occupation
C G
Livin' my life like a song
[Bridge]
D C G
Sweet senorita won't you please come with me
D C G
Back to the island honey, back to the sea
D C D
Back to the only place that I want to be
[Chorus]
C
And the wino and I know the joy of the ocean
G
Like a boy knows the joy of his milkshake in motion
D C
Strange situation, wild occupation
C G
Livin' my life like a song
D C
Yes it’s a strange situation, wild occupation
C G
Livin' my life like a song
