Verse 1:
G Bm/F# Em Am D
Still scowling black Good Captain Clack
G Bm/F# Em Am [verses: D organ solo: D7-9]

His bed is made the colors fade
G Em Am [verses: D7 organ solo: D+]
His eyes once wet are dry
Verse 2:
The naked muse who sits and chews
Tobacco off a tree
Removes his shoes, gives way to booze
G Em Am D G [N.C.]
And searches endlessly
Bridge:
Eb Bb
See the naked jumberlack
Ab Eb
Sip his aphrodisiac
F7 Bb
Cotton picking farmers three
Eb Bb
Though I lost my weathervane
Ab Eb
And of sense I have one grain
F7 Bb [N.C.]
I’m content sipping lemon tea

His eyes once wet are
— another ace 60’s tab from Andrew Rogers
