[Verse]
G                            C
Little boys and little girls dream 
of big big things

[Riff]
C  G C  Am

Am                              D
 They're taught at a tender age 
                           Am   D
just what life should bring
G          G7         C    
Get a job, say I do and settle 
                  C  G
yourself down
Am                           D
  But what about those of us whose 
lives are still spinning around

[Chorus]
  C                     D     G
Tell me what's so great about picket
 fences
G
 Painting them is such a mess
  C                Am7    D
And a big backyard where kids can 
play
              G                  
I'd probably never get a moment's 
      G
rest
Continúa después del anuncio
    C                    D
And settin the table for five at 
five
     Bm                       A
Only means more dishes to load
Am7               G               Am
What's so great about picket fences
Am7     D          G
I guess I'll never know

[Verse 2]
G                        C
  Here I am in my prime, at least 
they tell me so
    Bm                        
And if I go to sleep at night I 
D                  D     D
always go alone
G                                 
I guess that I could have it all 
   C
and someone by my side
G    Am                          
     But I can't take the give 
            D
and take, the price is just too high

[Chorus]
C                        D
Tell me what's so great about picket
 fences
G                             C
Painting them is such a mess
   C                     D
And a big backyard where kids can 
play
             G                   
I'd probably never get a moment's 
           C
rest    Oo-oo
                     D
And settin the table for five at 
five
  Bm           Am          A      A
Only means more dishes to load
Am              G
What's so great about picket fences
Am        D        G       G
I guess I'll never know
Am                       Bm   G
Tell me what's so great about picket
 fences
C        Am   D            G       G
I guess I'-ll     never Kn-ow
