Feed Jake by Pirates of the Mississippi
transcribed by Clint Celio
E A E
I'm standing at the crossroads in life, and I don't know where to go.
B
You know you've got my heart babe, but my musics got my soul.
A
Let me play it one more time, I'll tell the truth and make it rhyme
B E
and hope they understand me.
Chorus:
B
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the load my soul to keep
A E
And if I die before I wake, Feed Jake
B C#m A
he's been a good dog, my best friend, right through it all
E B E
if I die before I wake, feed jake
E A E

B
Whinos passed out on the sidewalk, doesn't anybody care.
A
Some say he's worthless, just let him be I for one would have to disagree
B E
and so would their mamas
Chorus
E A E
Now if you get an ear pierced, some will call you gay.
B
But if you drive a pickup, they'll say "no, you must be straight"
A
What we are and what we ain't, what we can and what we can't.
B E
does it really matter
Chorus
