Making Pies

Em   C   Em   C


[1st verse]

Em
It's not far
I can walk
C
Down the block
To Table Talk
G
Close my eyes
                  D
Make the pies all day

Em
Plastic cap
on my hair
  C
I used to mind
Now I don't care
  G
I used to mind
Now I don't care
          D
Cause I'm gray


[1st chorus]

                    C             
Did I show you this picture of my 
G
nephew
             C               G
Taken at his big birthday surprise
      C                   G
At my sister's house last Sunday
        D
This is Monday and we're making pies
           Am
I'm making pies
Continues after the ad

Pies


[2nd verse]

Em
Thursday nights
I go and type
C
Down at the church
With Father Mike
   G
It gets me out
                     D
And he ain't hard to like
At all

Em
Jesus stares at me
In my chair
         C
With his big blue eyes
And his honey brown hair
         G
And he's looking at me
Way up there
       D
On the wall


[2nd chorus]

                    C             
Did I show you this picture of my 
G
sweetheart
         C             G
Taken of us before the war
        C             G
Of the Greek and this Italian girl
    D
One Sunday at the shore

            C              G
We tied our ribbons to the fire 
escape
           C7           G
They were taken by the birds
    C7               G
Who flew home to the country
       C                   G       D
As the bombs rained on the world


[3rd verse]

Em
5am
Here I am
C
Walking the block
To Table Talk
          G
You could cry or die
                       D
Or just make pies all day

           Am
I'm making pies
       C
Making pies
       Am
Making pies
       C
Making pies

  G     D     C
ahaa, ahaa, ahaa
  G     D     C
ahaa, ahaa, ahaa
