Tooth of Time Been Chewin' On Me - The Tobasco Donkeys
Capo: 3
[Verse 1]
C
Well I was on my way to Santa Fe back in 1883
F
Really had to go, so I stepped behind a tree
C E F C
The sky was clear, and so was my pee
C G C
And when I came back out, they’d all left me
N.C.
Who left ya?
N.C.
Hold on, I’ll get to that!
[Verse 2]
C
The wagon train had done left and gone
F
So I stumbled through the brush ‘til I came to Cimarron
C E F C
There was an ol’ man underneath the cottonwood tree
C G C
Said, “Watch out son, don’t get like me”
[Chorus]
C
He said, “The Tooth of Times’ been chewin’ on me”
F
The Tooth of Time been chewin’ on me
C E F C
I’ve been here 30 years, now I just can’t leave
C G C
Cause the Tooth of Times’ been chewin’ on me
[Verse 3]
C
I said, “The Tooth of Time, old timer, what’s that?”
F
He looked over yonder and he tipped his hat
C E F C
It’s that igneous intrusion of dacite porphyry
C G C
It’s that molar in the sky, that just won’t let you be
[Verse 4]
C
Well I looked through my pockets and I didn’t have a dime
F
‘Til I ran into a feller from the French Henry mine
C E F C
Handed me a bucket and he handed me a spade
C G C
He said, “One’s for the muck, and the others for your grave”
[Chorus]
C
That’s when the Tooth of Time started chewin’ on me”
F
The Tooth of Time started chewin’ on me
C E F C
Eight long months of hard work and hard luck
C G C
Yeah, I lost two fingers, but I made twenty bucks
N.C.
Ten bucks a finger? Not bad!
[Verse 5]
C
Well the poker games down at the James was a rout
F
Ol’ B.J. Ketchum done wiped my twenty bucks out
C E F C
Sent me packin’ back into the hills
C G C
If the outlaws don’t get’ya then the lightning will
N.C.
Never play cards with a guy named Black Jack!
[Verse 6]
C
Well I hiked ‘til I fell down, and then I fell asleep
F
Forgot about the jerky in my back pocket of my seat
C E F C
A black bear found it, around half past three
C G C
Now I’m known as the man with just one cheek
[Chorus]
C
Yes sir, the Tooth of Times’ been chewin’ on me”
F
The Tooth of Time been chewin’ on me
C E F C
Now I fall over sideways, every time I take a seat
C G C
Cause the Tooth of Times’ been chewin’ on me
[Instrumental]
C F
C E F C
C G C
[Verse 7]
C
Well I finally made it deep into the hills
F
An’ I started cuttin’ ties for the Continental Mill
C E F C
Swingin’ that ax and haulin’ that line
C G C
Found my soul, but I lost my mind
[Verse 8]
C
There’s nothing like a day in the woods
F
Workin’ the way an honest man should
C E F C
At night with all the stars in the sky
C G C
The Milky Way’ll make a grown man cry
[Chorus]
C
I think, the Tooth of Times’ been chewin’ on me”
F
The Tooth of Time been chewin’ on me
C E F C
Vittles and a campfire are all I need
C G C
Cause the Tooth of Times’ been chewin’ on me
[Verse 9]
C
Well I think I’ll probably be out here, until I’m dead
F
And I remember back on what that old timer said
C E F C
I ain’t that smart, but this I know
C G C
The Tooth of Time is a damn good way to go
[Verse 10]
C
And you may come and you may leave
F
But ‘round February she’ll be in your dreams
C E F C
A great big mountain and the sky so blue
C G C
Yeah, the Tooth of Time’ll have its teeth in you
[Chorus]
C
Alright, the Tooth of Times’ been chewin’ on me”
F
The Tooth of Time been chewin’ on me
C E F C
I’m smelly and I’m dirty and it’s plain to see
C G C
That the Tooth of Times’ been chewin’ on me
[Chorus]
C
One more, the Tooth of Times’ been chewin’ on me”
F
The Tooth of Time been chewin’ on me
C E F C
I hike so much, I got stumps for feet
C G C
Yeah, the Tooth of Times’ been chewin’ on me
[Coda]
C
Chewin’ on me
C
