Chester Barnes is risen from the dead
         F                            C
And he’s coming round to creosote the fence
    F                             C
And I for one feel Spartan and monastic.
       F                    C
As the drama unfolds on the lawn
          F                           C
There’s a wager between the staff and me

  F                            C                    Bb

Granddaughter doesn’t wanna know
F                           C
Ever since she got into the charts

Ask her what perfume she wears

The doctor overrates me in my room
    F                      C
