Busted Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D][G][A]

[Verse 1]
Well [D]my bills are all due and
the baby needs shoes and [A]I'm busted
Cotton is down to a quarter of
a pound [D]I'm busted
I got a cow that's gone dry
and a hen that won't lay
A [G]big stack of bills that gets
bigger each day
The [A]county's gonna haul my belongings away
[D]I'm busted (he's busted)
[G][D]

[Verse 2]
[A]
[D]I went to my brother to ask for
a loan cause I was [A]busted
Now I hate to beg like a dog for
a bone but [D]I was busted
My brother said there's
not a thing I can do
My [G]wife and my kids are
all down with the flu
And [A]I was just thinking about calling on you
cause [D]I'm busted (he's busted)
[G][D]

[Verse 3]
Though I am no thief but a man
can go wrong if [A]he's busted
The food that we canned last
summer is gone [D]I'm busted
Now the fields are all bare and
the cotton won't grow
[G]Me and my wife we gotta pack up and go
[A]I'll make a living just how I don't
know cause [D]I'm busted

[Outro 1]
