[Intro] G E Am D7
G E Am D7
G C7 The wild dog fetches grenades
B7 C7 B7 The drunken wraith wretches &
Em fades
G Am A schoolgirl twirls in the wheat field
B7 D Em Until a combine catches her braids
G C7 The princess picks nits off her lace
B7 C7 Em And gives her wrist a little spritz of mace
G Am Cupid's so low that he loads up a bow
B7 D And he shoots himself full in the
Em E7 face [Chorus]
A Am My mother was a half-wit whore
D G She left me at her own front door
A Am My father was a deacon who would often wake up reekin'
D Of the sins he had condemned the
Em E7 Am D7 day before

G If I hear you've been romancing Miss
C7 Ruth
B7 C7 I'm gonna cut you with a cancerous
Em tooth
G But first I'll hitch you up to a
Am hell-bitch nag
B7 D And let her drag you half the way
Em to Duluth
G C7 If I catch you trying to make Miss Trish
B7 C7 I'm gonna drop you in the lake,
B7 Em ker-splish
G But first I'll lash bricks to your
Am hands and your knees
B7 D So you can crawl into bed with the
Em E7 fish [Chorus]
A Am My mother was a half-wit whore
D G She left me at her own front door
A Am My father was a deacon who would often wake up reekin'
D Of the sins he had condemned the
Em E7 Am D7 day before
( G B7 C7 B7 )
( G B7 C7 B7 )
( G E Am D7 )
G B7 C7 The mentalist straightens his spine
B7 C7 While his Rubenesque apprentice
Em bends his mind
G Am The two of them ride through the windy, windy night
B7 D Em On a levitated elevated line
G B7 Now I'm off to meet a marvelous
C7 wench
B7 I found her name & number carved
Em in a bench
G I wouldn't mind at all if you're hot
Am to join the ball
B7 D But if you're not, please pardon
Em E7 Am D7 my French [Chorus]
A Am My mother was a half-wit whore
D G She left me at her own front door
A Am My father was a deacon who would often wake up reekin'
D Of the sins he had condemned the
Em E7 C E7 day before
[Outro] C E7 C7 B7 D G7
