More chords by John Prine


G

Her Father was a failure

C

Her Mother was a comfort

G

To a doctor and lawyer and Indian Chief.

G

The shirt ran out of buttons

C

He lost all his marbles at a baseball game

G

And they went on Relief.

C G

The bank took away their diplomas

C G

They locked them up inside of the chest

C G

And she moved away to Oklahoma

A D

And got a tattoo on the side of her breast

G

"God-Damn, My socks are still hard"

C G

From lying on the sofa on the night she was over in my backyard

C

Yeah, We was shooting the breeze out amongst the trees

G

When a shot rang low

D G

And left her standing down by the side of the road

D G

Down by the side of the road

G

Father have mercy, Whoo Whoo

C

Get her a nurse please

G

She's almost alone

C G

I saw her hand reaching out for the telephone
