F                 Am
Black flag blues, black flag blues
G                      C
Holes in the sidewalk, holes in my shoes
F                 Am
Davy Jones been tightening the screws
G                          C
Paint another picture of my black flag blues
G                          C
Pain another picture of my black flag blues


Four on the floor, and two in the seat
Gilbert Roland and Jean Lafitte
Rattlesnake preachers and doomsday signs
Shaking that dice with my hobo mind


Black flag blues, black flag blues
Holes in the sidewalk, holes in my shoes
Davy Jones been tightening the screws
Paint another picture of my black flag blues
Pain another picture of my black flag blues

Well I knew a girl out in Kentucky
She rolled pecan logs down in Stucky's
Long in the tooth with a sideways grin
Getting kinda worried about the shape I'm in


You left me for the artful-dodger
On a motorcycle called the Jolly Roger
I'm all washed up in New Orleans
My head feels like a pinball machine


Well salty dogs chew-in on some grizzle
Captain Kid and his penny whistle
One by land two by sea
Same old lone down blues to me


Black flag blues, black flag blues
Holes in the sidewalk, holes in my shoes
Davy Jones been tightening the screws
Paint another picture of my black flag blues
Pain another picture of my black flag blues
