Conlee John - Busted guitar tab

Busted

By John Conlee

Tabbed By Larry Mofle

D A

Well, my bills are all due and the baby needs shoes but I'm busted

D

Cotton is down to a quarter a pound and I'm busted

I got a cow that's gone dry a hen that won't lay

G

A big stack of bills that get bigger each day

A

The county's gonna haul my belongings away

D

Cause I'm busted

I called up my brother to ask for a loan cause I was busted

Now I hate to beg like a dog for a bone but I was busted

My brother said, "There ain't a thing I can do

My wife and the kids are all down with the flu

And I was just thinkin's 'bout callin' on you

Cause I'm busted

Lead solo

Now I'm no thief but a man can go wrong when he's busted

The food that we canned last summer is gone and we're busted

The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow

Me and my family's gotta pack up and go

I'll make a livin', just where I don't know

Cause I'm busted
