Just Nick - Opossum

      [Intro]
G G/F# Em x2

[Verse 1]
G   G/F#                   Em
My little ones crawl up my back.
G              G/F#             Em
Stark white teeth, pink gums, I ain’t no alley cat,

Am                 C/B  C
but I’ll still eat your trash,
Am
climb highway exits, eat beer cans for breakfast.
C/B   C                                     D
Every can I visit, I’ve got to admit that I might not make it back.

[Verse 2]
G G/F#              Em
    I'm not playin’ around.
G
The true black is coming.
G/F#
There’s no use in running
       Em
from a sixteen wheeler headed southeast out of town.

Am                 C/B  C
And I knew it from the start,
Am              C/B  C
in my little junkie heart,
Am                  N.C.
that I’m better off dead
                   Am   C/B    C
that a scoundrel in bed around noon.

         Am
Pour one out for opossum, who lay out there, rotten.
     C                         D                         C
Hope they scrape ‘er up pretty soon. Scrape ‘er up real’ soon.
