Guy Clark Bag of Bones Lyrics

INTRO G A Bm A E/G# G A D
He said his hip talk to him when it's ready to rain
He's had a little nip and he's feeling no pain
When he gets like this, he feels like talkin'
He said he took some shrapnel at the Bay Of Pigs
He lost two fingers on a gulf oil rig
Ooh you gotta watch him or he'll take off walkin'
Some folks say he's lost his mind,
But he's just running' out of time
He said, This old bag of bones ain't really me
There's a lot more standing here than what you see
He said my back is bending low, but my spirit's flying
free
This old bag of bones ain't really me
(SOLO - D - A/C# - Bm - A - G - A - Bm - A - G - A)
He said I live each day like it's my last
Time won't keep, it goes too fast
You'd better do the best that you can do
He said, Life's a tune you whistle in the dark
When you get it right, you get a little spark
and the sun comes up and it all dawns on you
He said, This old bag of bones ain't really me
There's a lot more standing here than what you see
He said my back is bending low, but my spirit's flying
free
This old bag of bones ain't really me
He said my back is bending low, but my spirit's flying
free
This old bag of bones ain't really me
This old bag of bones ain't really me
