CAN’T BALE OUT A BOAT WITH A DIXIE CUP / S&L BY CHRIS KOLB / 240921
V1 A-/D__ __ __ __C__ __ __ __ G/B__ __ __ __ D-/A __ __ __ __
Ya can’t bale out uh boat with uh dixie cup
So lay down in my arms, my buttercup
It’s gettin’ harder ev’ry day just to keep up
But I know what’s right when you’re in my arms
CHORUS C/G__ __ __ __ G/D__ __ __ __ D__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
So, tell me, what’s uh man to do?
Tell me, what’s uh man to do?
So, tell me, tell me, what’s uh man to do?
Ya gotta tell me, what’s uh man to do.
V2 A-/D__ __ __ __C__ __ __ __ G/B__ __ __ __ D-/A __ __ __ __
Out there it’s pretty scary, cod quota closin’ in
I just don’t know what more I can do
Cards are stacked against us now
Lenders eye-in’ home n’ Shalako
CHORUS C/G__ __ __ __ G/D__ __ __ __ D__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
So, tell me, what’s uh man to do?
Tell me, what’s uh man to do?
So, tell me, tell me, what’s uh man to do?
Ya gotta tell me, what’s uh man to do.
BRIDGE C/G__ __ __ __ G/D__ __ __ __ D__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
We used to go down to the jetty, we’d dive cool n’ clear
I knew just what to do when I came up for air,
Now the levee has broken n’ waters run amuck
Banks are crashin’ down into the violence
Banks are crashin’ down into the violence
CHORUS C/G__ __ __ __ G/D__ __ __ __ D__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
So, tell me, what’s uh man to do?
Tell me, what’s uh man to do?
So, tell me, tell me, what uh man to do?
Ya gotta tell me, what’s uh man to do
