Slick & Delta Queen by Kyle Craft







        Slick & Delta Queen








Tuning: E A D G B E

[Intro]
E  A  E  A
 
[Verse 1]
E
She'll be in Denver by the break of dawn
A
  Her calloused heart, her regal charm
E
  Will grace the city in his open arms
A
  And his bed come tonight.
E
  But me I'm stranded down on Silver Street
A
  Just throwing bottles at the Delta Queen.
E                                             A
  She passes slow like your memory, makes the bend
                  Am
And floats out of sight.
 
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
E
Austin, Texas: mattress on the floor.
A
  We'd buy some grass from the kid next door.
E
  We'd bitch of love as if it was a chore
       A
But we made it to ease both our minds.
E
  First time I lost you was a mean curveball
A
  Thrown in Las vegas down a hotel hall.
E
  Why we stuck it out, man, I can't recall,
         A                  Am
Seems my honesty's always on trial.
 
[Chorus]
E  C#m  A                            E  C#m  A
         And I never once called you baby
A                       E  C#m   A
I never once called you anything.
A                       E  C#m  A
I never once called you baby
A                         E           A  E  A
I always thought you were more to me.
 
[Verse 3]
E
  And I saw him coming with his suit and tie.
A
  His hair slicked back looked a lot like mine.
E
  But that was years ago and over time
        A
Lost my scissors, my comb, and my style.
E
  And how he watched us at the table there
A
  As we caught up on our when-and-wheres.
E
  Our escapades, our life-ain't-fairs,
             A                        Am
And how you'll be leaving with him tonight.
 
[Chorus]
E  C#m  A                       E  C#m  A
         And I bet he calls you baby
A                       E  C#m   A
I never once called you anything.
A                     E  C#m  A
Oh I bet he calls you baby
A                         E           A  E  A
I always thought you were more to me.
 
[Verse 4]
E
So if I'm breathing on some solid ground
A
  And what went up the river comes back down
E
  Maybe we'll meet again next time around
    A
And talk of those vagabond times.
E
  Keep all your stubbornness and pretty smile,
A
  Keep all your dreams about that unborn child,
E
  Keep both your feet out of the wedding aisle,
         A                      Am       E
And I'll keep you in the back of my mind.
