Wishbones

• A

A                   D 
Day after day after trying to understand 
        E                                     D              A 
Why the world tries to grind you down, make a ghost out of a man 
     A                               D  
Your date of grace is due and you've pawned everything you own 
  E                                               D                 A 
I guess some dreams just don't come true, nothin' left but skin and wishbones  
 
 
Each year the world gets lonelier and uglier with sin 
You'll never see those blue skies through young eyes again 
You've prayed to every god you've known just to wind up all alone 
Your friends are gone, your mama's dead, nothin' left but skin and wishbones  

A                    D 
Spin the bottle cap, throw a shot back 
E                  A 
Everything's gonna be all right 
A                    D  
Spin the bottle cap, throw a shot back 
E              A 
Cough and cry, Lay down and die  
        E             
Grab an end, hold on tight 
            G            D 
Bottles and bones in the night 
             G       D 
You'll never go back home 
            A 
You old wishbone  
 
 
Guitar Solo 
 
Fiddle Solo 
 
 
Can't eat can't sleep can't think not knowing where to go 
This is real life brother, this ain't no reality show 
If suffering is human well I guess we're not alone 
You'll survive on next to nothing but you won't live on skin and wishbones  
 
Chorus 
 
Repeat 2nd half of chorus
