[Intro 1]
[D][G][A][D][G][A]
[D]My

[Verse 1]
Daddy [G]told me,
[A]lookin [D]back
The [G]best friend you'll
have is a [A]railroad track
So [D]when I [G]was 13 I said,
[A]I'm rollin' my [D]own,
And I'm [G]leaving Missouri and
[A]I'm never coming [D]home

[Verse 2]
And I'm [D]lost
And [A]I'm lost
I'm [D]lost at the bottom of the [Bm]world
[D]I'm handcuffed to the Bishop
and [G]the barbershop liar
[D]I'm lost at [A]the bottom of [D]the world

[Verse 3]
[D]Satchel [G]puddin' an[A]d Lord God M[D]ose
Sit[G]tin' by the fire with [A]a busted nose
That [D]fresh egg [G]yeller is [A]too damn [D]rare
But [G]the white part is perfect for
[A]slickin' down your [D]hair

[Verse 4]
And I'm [D]lost
And [A]I'm lost
I'm [D]lost at the bottom of the [Bm]world
I'm [D]handcuffed to the Bishop
and the [G]barbershop liar
[D]I'm lost at [A]the bottom of [D]the world

[Verse 5]
[D]Blackjack [G]Ruby an[A]d Nimrod C[D]ain
The [G]moon's the color of [A]a coffee stain
[D]Jesse [G]Franks an[A]d Birdy Joe H[D]oax
But [G]who is the king of [A]all of these [D]folks?

[Verse 6]
And I'm [D]lost
And [A]I'm lost
I'm [D]lost at the bottom of [Bm]the world
I'm [D]handcuffed to the Bishop
and [G]the barbershop liar
[D]I'm lost at the[A] bottom[D]

[Verse 7]
last [G]night with [A]Scarface [D]Ron
[G]On Telapia fish cakes an[A]d fried
black [D]swan
[G]Razorweed onion [A]an d peacock [D]squirrel
And I [G]dreamed all night
about [A]a beautiful g[D]irl

[Verse 8]
And I'm [D]lost
And [A]I'm lost
I'm [D]lost at the bottom of the [Bm]world
I'm [D]handcuffed to the Bishop

[Verse 9]
Well [D]God's green [G]hair is where
[A]I slept l[D]ast
[G]He balanced a diamond
on a [A]blade of grass
[D]Now I woke me [G]up with a [A]cardinal [D]bird
And when [G]I wanna talk he
Hangs [A]on every [D]word

[Verse 10]
And I'm [D]lost
And [A]I'm lost
I'm lost [D]at the bottom
of the [Bm]world
I'm [D]handcuffed to the Bishop
and the [G]barbershop liar
[D]I'm lost at the bottom of the
