Deadman’s Blues 
Matt Woods 

G                          D/F# 
Don’t bother calling up my telephone 
Em                          C 
We both know how this night ends 
G                             D/F# 
Just shut the light and put a record on  
Em                                    C               D            
It won’t be long til I make dark your trap house door again 
C                                    D/F# 
Strolling with those rings around my eyes 
      G           D/F#              Em 
How I do declare, darling, you’re a sight 
C                              D/F# 
Shake off just a little of the cold 
    G            D/F#             Em    C    D 
You know I never meant to grow so old 

      G 
I’m a first place loser, last place friend, 
D/F# 
Roadhouse preacher til stage lights dim 
Em 
Turn me out to the dark again 
      C                D 
Don’t worry if I don’t call 
          G 
All these part time lovers and full time fools 
D/F# 
Got me singing the deadman’s blues  
Em 
Fumbling round without a thing to lose 
     C                          D 
Like I don’t want it all 
    C                          D 
Hey I don’t want it all 

G       D/F#     Em     C    D       x2 

      C                                D/F# 
There ain’t no sense in feeling like I do 
     G               D/F#              Em 
When all I want’s at odds with wanting you 
C                           D/F# 
Girl I never meant to go so far 
       G              D/F#             Em 
Make a debt from your tears and broken hearts 
         C                           D 
It’s the perfect tool to tear myself apart 

I’m a first place loser, last place friend, 
Roadhouse preacher til stage lights dim 
Turn me out to the dark again 
Don’t worry if I don’t call 
All these part time lovers 
And full time fools 
Got me singing the deadman’s blues  
Fumbling round without a thing to lose 
Like I don’t want it all 
Hell I don’t want it all 
x2 

Don’t bother calling up my telephone  
We both know how this night ends 


*Here's the D/F# (I'm sure that's not the correct name.) 
Matt plays the song in straight G with no capo. I've been playing it in D#(same  
chords capoed on the 4th). That's the only way I can get close to singing all the notes he does.
