Cuttin' Teeth (Live)

[Intro]
A      E        D      A
 
 
[Verse 1]
A                       E
He was spinnin’ wheels, making deals
D                 A
Wild-eyed in his ‘20s
          D              A
There was nothin’ in the way of work
       B7          E
He was ever fit to do
       A
It was for the birds
E
Work with words
D                           A
The thing his words weren’t funny
D
He wrote ‘em right
A
You know they’re libel
   E                 A
To affect the way he moved
     A            E
Now, hustle high, hustle low
D                A
Harkin’ out that van window
    D               A
The price of gas is getting low
       B7             E
In the pocket of the seats
A            E
Of the pants he has had
D                     A
Tightening ‘round his body
D          A
Living off taverns’ fare
E                A
Drowning in the Grease
 
 
[Chorus]
D              E
Fronting him a country band
A                         D
Bunch of rockin’, barkin’ deadbeats, man
A                 E
He played a gig with one night
     D              A
When he was cuttin’ teeth
 
 
[Solo]
A   E   D   A   D   A   B7   E
A   E   D   A   D   A   E    A
 
 
[Chorus]
D              E
Fronting him a country band
A                         D
Bunch of rockin’, barkin’ deadbeats, man
A                    E
He played a gig with one night
     D              A
When he was cuttin’ teeth
 
 
[Verse 2]
    A               E
Now you can yell or you can croon
        D                      A
You can reach the fire code of any room
D             A               B7          E
With a catchy song or two, if you sang in key.
        A                    E
There’s room for err, if the band is there
     D             A
In a way it’s like baseball
   D                 A
He swings a bat left-handed
     E             A
He’s gonna walk at least
 
 
[Chorus]
D              E
Frontin’ him a country band
A                         D
Bunch of rockin’, barkin’ deadbeats, man
A                    E
He played a gig with one night
     D              A
When he was cuttin’ teeth
 
 
[Outro]
D              E
Frontin’ him a country band
A                         D
Bunch of rockin’, barkin’ deadbeats, man
A                    E
He played a gig with one night
     D              A
When he was cuttin’ teeth
