Verse 1:

Still scowling black Good Captain Clack

G Bm/F# Em Am [verses: D organ solo: D7-9]

Must eat his humble pie

G Bm/F# G7/F C/E Cm/Eb [to coda on repeat]

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

See the naked jumberlack

Sip his aphrodisiac

Cotton picking farmers three

Though I lost my weathervane

And of sense I have one grain

F7 Bb [N.C.]

I'm content sipping lemon tea

Instrumental break:

[organ solo over Verse 1 chords, altered as indicated]

Coda:

His eyes once wet are
