KEROSENE
by the Bottle Rockets
from their s/t album (East Side Digital)
The chords are: A E D
The strumming pattern is easy and doesnāt change, just listen to the
song and youāll get the hang of it quickly.
(Note: Capo on 2nd fret so play the chords as if they are a G D C)
Ever see that damn thing that burned out shell
For a little while that trailer mustāve seemed like hell
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline
Kids wore rags and never worked too much
Whose the judge to decide how much this world could punish
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline
Now the welfare cheque donāt pay for the electricity
Wonder who the jury was to decide they were all guilty
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline
The fire started about 3am yāknow no of Īem would survive
They hated that goddamn trailer so it burnt him up alive
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline
pedal steel solo I
Thereās a pure perfect world that tells no lies
Burn you down ya try to improvise
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline
pedal steel solo II and fade out
