Pissin' In The Wind
Jerry Jeff Walker

CHORUS
C                    G
Pissin' in the wind, bettin' on a losing friend
D                                        C          D
Makin' the same mistakes, we swear we'll never make again
C                             G
Pissin' in the wind, but it's blowing on all our friends
D                   C                  G
We're gonna sit and grin and tell our grandchildren
 
          D
About the time I called this guy - it was four in the morning
C                         G                    C  D   G   C  D   G
Teach me the words to the song I was humming - mm hm hmm, mm hm hmm
         D                                            C                 G
He just laughed and he said that the ole grey cat is sneakin' down the hall
D                                              C               D
But all he wants to know is who in the hell is paying for this call
 
REPEAT CHORUS

         D   
How this Nunn called me up, it was eight in the morning
C                         G                 C  D   G   C  D   G  
Wanted to know how in the world am I doin', mm hm hmm, mm hm hmm
        D                                            C              G
He just laughed and he said get it together boy, and fall on by the house
     D                                   C                    D
Some Gonzo buddies would like to play anything you're picking now
 
REPEAT CHORUS

       D 
Now we worked and we suffered and struggled
            C                    G
Makin' our record till we got it right
          C       D      G
Now we're waiting on the check
        C        D        G  
To come sneaking down the hall
          C   D     G
Like that old time feeling
     D                                 C             D  
That we never should have ever put the record out at all
 
REPEAT CHORUS
 
         C         D              G              C 
That the answer my friend is just pissin' in the wind
C             D              G
The answer is pissin' in the sink
