GDCG
They got married early, never had much money
DCG
Then when he got laid off, they really hit the skids
DCG
He started up his drinking, then they started fighting
DCG
He took it pretty badly, she took both the kids
[Chorus]
EmD
She said, "I'm not standing by
CD
to watch you slowly die
CDGD
So watch me walking, out the door
CGD
Out the door, out the door"
[Bridge]
CGDCG
She said, "Shove it, Jack, I'm walking out your fucking door"
[Verse 2]
DCG
She went to her brother's, got a little bar work
DCG
He went to the buttery, he stayed about a year
DCG
Then he wrote a letter, and said, "I want to see ya"
DCG
She thought he sounded better, so she sent him up the fare
[Chorus]
EmDCD
He was riding through the cane, in the pouring rain
CDGD
On McCafferty's, to her door
CGD
To her door, to her door
C
To her door,
[Bridge]
(G)
And his heart was singing like a lowdown guitar
[Solo]
G D C G x4
[Verse 3]
GDCG
He came in on a Sunday, every muscle aching
DC
Walking in slow motion, like he'd just been hit
GDCG
Did they have a future? Would he know his children?
DCG
Could he make a picture, and get them all, get them all to fit?
[Chorus]
EmDCD
He was shaking in his seat, riding through the streets
CD
In a Silver Top, to her
EmDCD
Shaking in his seat, riding through the streets
CDGD
In a Silver Top taxicab, to her door
CGD
To her door, to her door
C
To her door
