Busted Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
The [G]bills are all due and my
baby need shoes but I'm bus[D]ted
Cotton is down to a quarter a
pound but I'm [G]busted[C][G]
I got a cow that's gone dry
and a hen that won't lay
A [C]big stack of bills that
gets bigger each day

[Verse 2]
The [D]county will haul my belongings
away I'm [G]busted[C][G][D]
I [G]called brother Bill to get me
a loan I was bus[D]ted
For I hate to beg like a dog for a
bone but I'm [G]busted[C][G][D]
But [G]Bill said that there
ain't a thing I can do

[Verse 3]
My [G]wife [C]and my kids're all
down with the flu
[D]And I was just thinking of calling on you
I'm [G]busted

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][D][G][D]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 4]
Now [G]Lord I'm no thief but a man can
go wrong when he's bus[D]ted
The food that we canned last summer
is gone I'm [G]busted[C][G][D]
The [G]fields are all bare and
the cotton won't grow

[Verse 5]
[C]Me and my family's got to pack up and go
But [D]I'll make a living the Lord only
knows I'm [G]busted

[Outro 1]
[C][G][D][G][D]
