Band: Woodbox Gang (www.woodboxgang.com) Album: Wormwood A great band from southern Illinois playing Trashcan Americana Verse 1 G Am D G Got a pretty smile, I can smile too. Smile so big my head?s in two. Am D G Am You wanna be friends, you can be mine. Keep you happy in the sunshine. D G Am D Take my hand, it?s warm you can tell. Feel my heart, it?s hotter than hell G Am D G I?ve been there and I can take you too, I can make all your bad dreams come true. (Slide Licks in G) D Em C (5 times) end on D VERSE 2 I like small towns and the people there. Easier money than welfare. What does it take to get a handout? A sucker to trust you without a doubt. But they need me and I need them, we?re all red-blooded working men. Good or bad, where do I stand? Between the devil and a dollar is a confidence man. CHORUS D Em C D It?s a confidence game, I?m a confidence man. Sure as I win, sure as I stand. Em C D Em Tell you what I am, honest I ain?t. Stab you in the back, smiling like a saint. C D Em C Confidence man in a confidence game, I?ll leave you with nothing but your shame. D Em C D Your mama warned about a confidence game, she?s been taken in just the same ? by a D Em C D confidence man. VERSE 3 When the market dies like it always does everybody?s pockets are lighter than they was. Evrybody?s mad everybody?s pissed They can?t believe that they were taken by a scam like this Still they can?t even understand, how they got swindled by an ordinary man They pay the price, that?s why I came, to make ?em all losers in a confidence game. CHORUS SLIDE LICKS IN G D Em C (5 Times) end on D The guitar solo is done on a dobro/resonator guitar, tuned to open G.
