Jockey Full of Bourbon Lyrics

Jockey Full of Bourbon - Joe Bonamassa (Cover)
Key - F minor/ G# Major
Piano intro Chords
* = Palm Mute P = Pull off B = Bend t = Trill r = Release bend
sb = Slow Bend
There are small licks which are played behind the vocal line during the verses,
anything in the key of F minor will work just fine.
This riff is played a few times throughout the song.

Edna million in a drop dead suit, Dutch pink on a downtown train
Two dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot, I'm in the corner on the pouring rain
Sixteen men on a dead man's chest, I been drinking from the broken cup
Two pairs of pants and a mohair vest, I'm full of bourbon and i can't stand up
Hey little bird , fly away home
Your house is on fire , your children alone
Hey little bird , you fly away home
Your house is on fire , your children alone
Back to intro riff with small change..
After this is played once it does a different lick at the end, listenn for timing.

Schiffer broke a bottle on Morgan's head, I'm stepping on the devil's tail
Across the stripes of a full moon's head, All through the bar's of a Cuban jail
Bloody finger's on a purple knife, Flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass
I'm on the lawn with someone else's wife, Admire the view from the top of the mast

Hey little bird , fly away home
Your house is on fire , your children alone
Hey little bird , you fly away home
Your house is on fire , your children alone
Intro Riff
Just before solo begins hold the F note and dont play the lick, listen for timing.

The last few licks are not 100% but they will fit with
the song.
Yellow sheets on a Hong Kong bed, Stazybo horn and a slingerland ride
To the carnival is what she said, A couple hundred dollars makes it dark inside
Edna million in a drop dead suit, Dutch pink on a downtown train
Two dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot, I'm in the corner on the pouring rain
Chrorus 3&4
Hey little bird , fly away home
Your house is on fire , your children alone
Hey little bird , you fly away home
Your house is on fire , your children alone X2
Back to main riff...
