Busted Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Yea[A]h[D]
Oh, no, no, no
Well, I know

[Verse 2]
Yeah, my [D]bills are all due and
the baby needs shoes
But I'm [A]busted
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound
But I'm bus[D]ted right now
I got a cow that went dry
and a hen that won't lay
A [G]big stack of bills that
gets bigger each day
[A]The county's gonna haul my
belongings away
'Cause I'm busted [D]right now
Oh, yes, I am

[Verse 3]
Well, I [D]went to my brother
to ask for a loan
'Cause I was [A]busted
I hate to beg like a dog
without his bone
But I'm busted, [D]I'll tell ya
My brother said,
"There ain't a thing I can do
[G]My wife and my kids are all
down with the flu
[A]And I was just thinking about
calling on you
'Cause I'm bus[D]ted myself"

[Verse 4]
Well, [D]that's what he told

[Interlude 1]
me
[D][A][D]
[A]
[D]

[Verse 5]
Yeah, [D]I am no thief,
but a man can go wrong
When he, [A]he's busted
The food that we canned last
summer is gone
And I'm bus[D]ted right now
Well, the fields are all bare
and the cotton won't grow
[G]Me and my family got to pack up and go
[A]I'll make a living,
where I don't know
'Cause I'm busted [D]today

[Verse 6]
Y'all know [D]I'm broke
I ain't got no money
I'm talkin' 'bout empty pockets
Ah, forget it
Ah, to hell with it
Yeah
