Rattlesnake Rock

I gotta file my teeth and glue fish-scales on my tongue      |A///|D7///|A///|////|
I gotta grease my hair from a tub of orang-utan dung         |D///|F/G/|A///|////|
I gotta stay outrageous even if I can't stay young           |E///|F/G/|A///|////|
Rattlesnake Rock, let it roll                                |B///|E7///|A///|A///|
Rattlesnake Rock, let if roll                                |B///|E7///|F///|D///|
There's a hole in my sock, there's a slide-rule in my soul   |E///|F/G/|A///|////||

I pull open my shirt and climb into my sling-back heels      |A///|D7///|A///|////|
And my aerosol eczema tingles before it congeals             |D///|F/G/|A///|////|
On my chicken-bone chest in a blaze of pimples and weals     |E///|F/G/|A///|////|
Rattlesnake Rock, let it roll                                |B///|E7///|A///|A///|
Rattlesnake Rock, let if roll                                |B///|E7///|F///|D///|
There's a hole in my sock, there's a slide-rule in my soul   |E///|F/G/|A///|////||

I foam at the mouth in spasms of sadistic rage               |A///|D7///|A///|////|
When I'm burning a baby and eating the ashes on stage        |D///|F/G/|A///|////|
And screwing a skunk through a hole in the back of its cage  |E///|F/G/|A///|////|
Rattlesnake Rock, let it roll, kill your mother              |B///|E7///|A///|A///|
Rattlesnake Rock, let if roll, rape your brother             |B7///|E7///|F///|D7///|
There's a hole in my sock, there's a slide-rule in my soul   |E///|F/G/|A///|////||
