I Can't Help Myself

      G                                  

1.  Down there by the second shed,  lyin' in a pool of water

Is he drunk or is he dead ?  I guess it doesn't matter....

Fallin' down the preacher's stairs....glad it's not a Sunday

Howlin' at that bayou moon,  after work on Wednesday....

CHORUS:

             C                            G                        D7                G

I can't help myself,   I can't help myself....whoa no....I can't help myself

2.  Paint those windows blue and green,  but leave a crack for Mary

Everybody is goin' back  so take what you can carry....

REPEAT CHORUS

3.  Bought me an owl in a golden cage...and all my friends were jealous

Found my heart out on the stage....but it turned into a gallows.....

REPEAT CHORUS  3X
