Intro:

A(add2) A(add2) A(add2)

A(add2)

Well, I used to drive a cab, you know

C

I heard a siren scream

D

Pulled over to the corner

C A(add2)

And fell into a dream

A(add2)

There were two men eating pennies

C

And three young girls who cried

D

"The West coast is falling,

C A(add2)

I see rocks in the sky."

E

The preacher took his bible

And he laid it on the stool

D

He said: "with the congegration running,

C

Why should I play the fool?"

A(add2)

A(add2)

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.

A

'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.

E

Well, the lady made the wedding

E

And she brought along the ring.

D C

She got down on her knees

C

And said: 'let's get on with this thing'.

A7

A7

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.

A7

So I unlocked your mind, you know

C

To see what I could see.

D

If you guarantee the postage,

C A9

I'll mail you back the key.

E

Well I woke up in the morning

E

With an arrow through my nose

D

There was an Indian in the corner

C

Tryin' on my clothes.

A

Em7 A

Well I used to be asleep you know

C

With blankets on my bed.

D

I stayed there for a while

C Esus4

'til they discovered I was dead.

A

The coroner was friendly

C

I liked him quite a lot.

D

If I hadn't 've been a woman

C A

I guess I'd never have been caught.

E

They gave me back my house and car

E

And nothing more was said.

A

A

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.

A

The servicemen were yellow

C

And the gasoline was green.

D

Although I knew I could not

C A

thought that I was gonna scream.

E

That was on my last trip to Tulsa

E

Just before the snow.

D

If you ever need a ride there,

C

Be sure to let me know.

A

A

I was chopping down a palm tree

C

When a friend dropped by to ask

D

If I would feel less lonely

C A(add2)

If he helped me swing the axe.

A C

I said 'no, it's not a case of being lonely

C

We've have here,

D

I've been working on this palm tree

C A(add2)

For eighty seven years.'

A(add2)* C

I said 'no, it's not a case of being lonely

C

We've have here,

D

I've been working on this palm tree

C A7

eighty seven years.'

E

He said "go get lost"

E

And walked towards his Cadillac.

D Dsus4

I chopped down the palm tree

C C

And it landed on his back.
