Alabama 3 - Too Sick to Pray
Key of D, ear-transcribed on ukulele by Neil Killer.
The strum pattern goes something like this.
You can change it up once you get the feel of it.
[Bm] [Em]
[1] [2] [3] [4] [1] [2] [3] [4]
I'm in a [Bm]lonely room[Em]
Hank Williams sings a [Bm]lovesick blues[Em]
Winter's walking up the [Bm]avenue
But I ain't [Em]seen the sunshine since the [G]6th o' June
But I tell ya [A]this
Don't call the [Bm]doctor
I'm gonna get [Em]better
Don't run for the [Bm]priest
I'm gonna find some [Em]faith[Bm]
Just because I burned my [Em]Bible baby
It don't [G]mean I'm too sick to [A]pray
I'm in a [Bm]crowded place yeah
But I can't recognise a [Em]single face
And they say the thrill is [Bm]in the chase
Well I ain't [Em]got the legs I ain't got the legs to [G]run that race
But I tell ya [A]this
Don't call the [Bm]doctor
I'm gonna get [Em]better
Don't run for the [Bm]priest
I'm gonna find some [Em]faith[Bm]
Just because I burned my [Em]Bible baby
It don't [G]mean I'm too sick to [A]pray
Better burn a [Bm]candle bright
Raise up some [Em]ghosts tonight
They [Bm]say I made my money messing up young minds
[Em]Stopped the congregation and I left em all cryin
In the [Bm]rain, yeah left em with their pain
[Em]Exit your boy with his ill-gotten gains
Well the [Bm]blood runs deep and the blood runs cold
As the [Em]knife slits on another sucker is [Bm]born
Thrown into this world alone
[Em]Doctor came a'knockin wasn't nobody home[G]
Ease the [A]pain
Don't call the [Bm]doctor
I'm gonna get [Em]better
Don't run for the [Bm]priest
I'm gonna find some [Em]faith[Bm]
Just because I burned my [Em]Bible baby
It don't [G]mean I'm too sick to [A]pray
Don't call the [Bm]doctor
I'm gonna get [Em]better
Don't run for the [Bm]priest
I'm gonna find some [Em]faith[Bm]
Just because I burned my [Em]Bible baby
It don't [G]mean, it don't [A]mean
I'm too sick to [Bm]pray[Em]
I'm too sick to [Bm]pray[Em]
I'm too sick to [Bm]pray[Em]
I'm too sick to [G]pray
It don't [A]mean
I'm too sick to [Bm]pray
