Lyrics & Chords: Dust My Shovel


by Jim Pembroke. Album: Wicked Ivory (1972)
A7
   I'm gonna get me a shovel
D7              A7
   Dig up every grave I know
       D7
   I'm gonna get me a shovel
                A7
   Dig up every grave I know
        E7
   If I don't find our victim
D7                          A7                  E7
   Gonna cancel my Life magazine subscription 


   I'm gonna get me a searchlight
   Check out every morgue in town
   And I'm gonna get me a searchlight
   Check out every morgue in town, I say you one time
   If I don't find my victim
   I'm gonna make a complaint 

               A7
        Well I might take a shovel
          D7
        I might take a drill
          A7
        I might take a pick-axe

        Maybe they take a pill
     D7                    A7
        Oh Lawd yes I do believe I will
             E7
        If I don't find our victim
     D7                            A7
        Gonna break Sam's barbeque grill
                                      E7
        Yeah baby, take it away, Dead Chester! 

(guitar solo, 2 verses)

   Gonna get me a buddy
   Rough up every corpse we see
   I'm gonna get me a buddy
   Rough up every corpse we see
   And if we run outa corpses
   I'm gonna rough up my buddy
   Aforn he roughs up me, yeah all right
