Everybody Takes A Tumble
Intro: [G] [Em] [C] [D] x 2
To [G]break your heart into rubble
is [Em]what I’m here to do
[C]I’ve got nothing but trouble, babe
[D]in store for you
I’ve got [G]one eye on the main chance
[Em]one hand behind your back
and [C]you just stumbled blind babe
[D]right into my track
And that’s when you [G]fell so [Em]low
[C]Everybody takes a tumble, don’t you [D]know
That’s when you [G]fell so [Em]low
[C]Pick yourself off the floor, before you [D]go
There’s [G]vengeance in my belly
[Em]slime on both my shoes
and [C]everything bad that you ever heard
about [D]little old me is true
My [G]trigger finger is itchy
my [Em]humour is black
and [C]you just stumbled blind babe
[D]right into my track
Now the [G]devil drives a hard bargain
[Em]preacher burns his hands
[C]fireman makes a sermon
[D]lord surveys his lands
[G]Huck Finn just went out for sticks
[Em]he ain’t coming back
and [C]you just stumbled blind babe
[D]right into my track
Solo: [G] [Em] [C] [D] x2
[G]Faces start A-shining
[Em]flags begin to sway
Would [C]you believe I came a long distance
Just to [D]be with you today
Your [G]crooked partner
[Em]he just got the sack
and [C]you just stumbled blind babe
[D]right into my track
x2
Solo: [G] [Em] [C] [D] ad lib til end
