EVERYBODY TAKES A TUMBLE WATERBOYS
G Em C D (x 2)
G Em
To break your heart into rubble is what I'm here to do
C D
I've got nothing but trouble, babe, in store for you
G Em
I've got one eye on the main chance, one hand behind your back
C D
and you just stumbled blind babe right into my track
Chorus:
G Em
And that's when you fell so low
C D
Everybody takes a tumble don't you know
G Em
That's when you fell so low
C D
Pick yourself off the floor, before you go
G Em
There's vengeance in my belly, slime on both my shoes
C D
and everything bad that you ever heard about little old me is true
G Em
My trigger finger is itchy, my humour is black
C D
and you just stumbled blind babe, right into my track
Chorus
G Em
Now the devil drives a hard bargain, preacher burns his hands
C D
Fireman makes a sermon, Lord surveys his lands
G Em
Huck Finn just went out for sticks - he aint coming back
C D
and you just stumbled blind babe, right into my track
Chorus
G Em C D (x2) ( over instrumental )
G Em
Faces start a-shining, flags begin to sway
C D
Would you believe I came a long distance just to be with you today
G Em
Your crooked partner, he just got the sack
C D
and you just stumbled blind babe, right into my track
Chorus
G Em C D ( repeat )
