The Balonie Blues
Wednesday, June 15, 2005
Wade Farlowe
(Spoken) In 3 - 2 1
Lead in 3 X
G
Turn on the tube and what'ya see
C
Tele's graphs and cable grams
A
You can change channels and try to flee
D
And don't have to give a damn
G C
Name and number your favorite anchor
A D
Daily life's gettin' kinda cankered
G C
E pluribus Unum, God Save the Queens little homies
A7 D7
I'd have to be crackers boy, to buy that balonie
(Refrain)
C7
Now, I'm on a roll
C7 F
We're gettin' a piece of the slice
G
Oh, don't ya just know
G7 C
It's smellin' a taste of that spice
C7 F
Oh folks, tell me dear brother
G
I just can't take it
G7 C
I've got the Balonie Blues
F G
Sandwich me up another
C A7
I just can't help it
Dm D7G
I've got the Balonie Blues
Lead in 2 X
G
Guess it takes what I just can't hock
C
Runnin' where the big boys go
A
You can sell your snake oil by the crock
D
I don't even want to know
G C
Paint and powder your wares till Bill is bored
A D
That kind of life, I have abhorred
G C
Ad hoc and hobnob, display online telephony
A7 D7
I'd have to be crackers boy, to buy that balonie
Lead in 1 X
G
Must be what takes near a half hour
C
Packaged in an hour or two
A
Your stories sell till the newness sours
D
I don't believe what you do
G C
List and promo your names till John is flushed
A D
Makes a man's life seem kind of rushed
G C
Release and clamp down that last replayed testimony
A7 D7
I'd have to be crackers boy, to buy that balonie
