John Prine - He Forgot It Was Sunday guitar chord

By:John Prine

Song: He Forgot It Was Sunday

(Capo 2nd)

(G)The motel lights were blin(C)kin'

On my (D)chartreuse four-door (G)Lincoln

On the dock the fish were st(C)inkin'

I simply (D)didn't have a (G)care.

And the old men sit 'round the cr(C)acker barrels

The chi(D)ldren hum their Chri(G)stmas Carols

The train tracks all run par(C)allel

But they'll(D) all meet up o(G)ne day

(Chorus)

On a (G)dusty pew in a ves(C)tibule

Sits the (D)Devil playing po(G)cket pool

He's waiting for the (C)next poor (Am)fool

Who for(D)got that it was (G)Sunday

(G)We used to tell each ot(C)her lies

With our o(D)range plastic bu(G)tton eyes

In a former life on a mo(C)tel chair

I was Ch(D)arlie Parker's Teddy B(G)ear

Yeah, me and Bird we'd s(C)tay up late

I u(D)sed to watch him conte(G)mplate

While his horn would sit by the wi(C)ndow and wait

Till it was t(D)ime for him to b(G)low it

(Repeat Chorus) (Instrumental)

G C D G C Am D G

(G)The only song I e(C)ver knew

Was Mo(D)onlight Bay on the A(G)venue

These are tales from the De(C)vil's Chin

Charlie, (D)I could've been a cont(G)ender

And the old men sit 'round the cr(C)acker barrels

The ch(D)ildren hum their Chr(G)istmas Carols

The train tracks all run par(C)allel

But th(D)ey'll all meet up one d(G)ay

(Repeat Chorus)

Ending:

He for(Am)got that (D)it was (G)Sunday (Am) (D) (G)

(Repeat Instrumental)

(Spoken)

On a (G)dusty pew in a ves(C)tibule

Sits the ole Red (D)Devil playing po(G)cket pool

He's waiting for the (C)next poor (Am)fool

Who for(D)got that it was (G)Sunday

(Repeat Instrumental)

(Spoken)

And the old men why there're sittin' 'round their cracker barrels

And the children yeah they're out hummin' those Christmas Carols

And all those ole rusty train tracks

They're running parallel

But they'll all meet up one day (Fade...)
