Busted


Busted:Ray Charles. #4 in 1963. (Capo 1st fret.) #1. D A A7 My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes, and I'm busted. A D Cotton is down to a quarter a pound, but I'm busted. D D7 I got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't lay, G a big stack of bills that gets bigger each day.. A D The county's gonna haul my belongings away, cause I'm busted. #2. D A A7 I went to my brother to ask for a loan, cause I was busted. A D I hate to beg, like a dog without his bone, but I'm busted. D My brother said, 'There ain't a thing I can do, G my wife and my kids are all down with the flu, A D and I was just thinking about calling on you, cause I'm busted.' #3. D A A7 Well, I am no thief, but a man can go wrong, when he's busted. A D The food that we canned last summer is gone, and I'm busted. D D7 The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow, G me and my family got to pack up and go, A D but I'll make a living, just where I don't know, cause I'm busted. OUTRO: D I'm broke, no bread, I mean like nothing...(Fade.) A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
