INTRO: Asus2

       A                        
Well, I used to drive a cab, you 
       C
know
C
I heard a siren scream
D
Pulled over to the corner
      C                  Asus2
And I fell into a dream

          A
There were two men eating pennies
C
And three young girls who cried
D
The West coast is falling,
C                         Asus2
I see rocks in the sky.

E7
The preacher took his bible
And laid it on the stool.
         D
He said: with the congregation 
running,
           C                 Asus2 
Why should I play the fool?
A Asus2 A


Well, I used to be a woman, you know
C
I took you for a ride,
D
I let you fly my airplane
C                                A
It looked good for your pride.

'Cause you're the kind of man you 
know
C
Who likes what he says.
D
I wonder what's it's like
             C       A
To be so far over my head.

         E7
Well, the lady made the wedding
Continues after the ad
And she brought along the ring.
    D                 C
She got down on her knees
          C                     
And said: Let's get on with this 
           Asus2 A7
thing.

Well, I used to be a folk singer
C
Keeping managers alive,
D
When you saw me on a corner
C                       A7
And told me I was jive.

So I unlocked your mind, you know
C
To see what I could see.
D
If you guarantee the postage,
     C                        A7
I'll mail you back the key.
       E7
Well I woke up in the morning
With an arrow through my nose
             D             Dsus4
There was an Indian in the corner
C                      Asus2  Em 
Tryin' on my clothes.
 Asus2  Em


        A
Well, I used to be asleep you know
C
With blankets on my bed.
D
I stayed there for a while
          C                       
'Til they discovered I was dead.
Asus2  A


The coroner was friendly
C
And I liked him quite a lot.
D
If I hadn't 've been a woman
            C                      
I guess I'd never have been caught.
 Asus2

    E7
They gave me back my house and car
                            Asus2  A
And nothing more was said.

Well, I was driving down the freeway
        C
When my car ran out of gas.
D
Pulled over to the station
      C                   A
But I was afraid to ask.

The servicemen were yellow
        C
And the gasoline was green.
D
Although I knew I couldn't
               C           A
I thought that I was gonna scream.

               E7
That was on my last trip to Tulsa
Just before the snow.
       D           Dsus4
If you ever need a ride there,
       C                 Asus2  Em 
x4  Asus2
Be sure to let me know.

      A
I was chopping down a palm tree
C
When a friend dropped by to ask
D
If I would feel less lonely
      C                         
If he helped me swing the axe.
Asus2

        A                          

  C

I said: No, it's not a case of being
 lonely
We have here,
          D
I've been working on this palm tree
    C                 C  A  Asus2
For eighty seven years
  A  Asus2  A  Asus2  A  Asus2  A


I said: No, it's not a case of being
 C
 lonely
We have here,
D
I've been working on this palm tree
                 C     A7
For eighty seven years

         E7
He said: Go get lost!
And walked towards his Cadillac.
D                  Dsus4
I chopped down the palm tree
C
And it landed on his back.
