Bill Jocko Lyrics
by Mark Mulcahy
Intro: F# G F# G (Why do I have to stay here?)
Verse intro: F# Bm F# Bm
Down came Bill Jocko
From the heart of Hooterville
Take down your Christmas tree
But I know that you never will
Riding lover was his lady,
And she did not know his mind
When Billy took the Datsun
To the top for the last time
And that??s when they were
Bridge:
Drunk on wine coolers
That they stole from her mother
Drunk on the Summer
And drunk on each other
Verse 2:
You better take a right at the graveyard
And a left over at the ghetto
Climb up to where it??s dark
And gonna take all of our clothes off
Lucinda had her head down,
Braiding her hair so she could not see,
That William had his eyes closed,
Headin?? straight for a tree,
And that??s when they were
Bridge:
Drunk on wine coolers
That they stole from her mother
Drunk on the Summer
And drunk on each other
One, or two, or three hundred feet down to the ground
Let??s do it now when there ain't no park ranger hangin' ??round
Repeat Verse and Bridge
Outro: F# G F# G
The verse chords are easy, but you can play an even easier alt voicing Mulcahy uses.
Instead of
barre chords, he uses F# x2344x and Bm 2344xx. It sounds more like the album version and
it's pretty easy to
shift back and forth.
Everything else is barre chords however (the intro, bridge, outro etc).
