Some of my friends got down to

Some got down to

God
God
G
D
He's just on a nod
G
D
He's just on a nod
Louie the
Hook had a hunger
A
He'd hit his destination
D
If hell had been his goal
He bruises and he ulcers
G
In places you can't guess
A
It's safe to say that he made his play
But
Now
Louis needed money
G
In a very desperate way
A
He felt his hour approaching
D
He was turnin' very gray
Went down the road
come a preacher
Lord
Louie
D
But he did not speak a word
Preacher looked at
Louie
G
And he broke out in a grin
A
I'd rightly say by your shade of gray, baby
D
I know the fix you're in
Louie just kept a -starin'
G
Thinkin' he'd hit the mark
A
I get on your wagon, preacher,
D
you just put the horse before the cart
The preacher's eyes grew more,
Lord
A
Before I'm done, he'll talk in tongues,
Upon his book he pounded, as
A
If life is just a gamble,
D
he thought he'd lost the bet
But the preacher had a silken suit
G
and a new hall down the street
A
And rocks on every finger,
D
man, he was cruel and not discreet
So
Louie sized the preacher,
G
lookin' deep within his soul
D
A
reckon he got a thousand dollar roll
D
The preacher raged, the preacher roared,
G
till the crowd had come to stare
Louie the
D
Hook get religion down on
his knees in prayer
When up jumped
Louie shaky, crying,
A
Preacher
Hugh's chuckling,
D
you know he thought he'd won the fight
But
Louie quick as crystal got
A
He passed the hat, he got sixty bucks,
D
and he beat it on down the street
Now a story needs a moral,
G
as a song must have an end
A
For junkies and preachers,
D
a man don't need for friends
Life is just a hustle,
G
you got to pay for your mistakes
But if
A
Jesus
Christ was a preacher,
D
he got the short end of the tape
Some of my friends got down to
F
D
Je sus
Some of my friends got down to
F
Jesus
D
G
And some got down to
D
God
God
G
D
He's just on the naught
G
D
He's just on the naught
I don't know the hell
I'm supposed to do here.
