A(add2)
Well, I used to drive a cab, you know
CI heard a siren scream
DPulled over to the corner
C A(add2)
And fell into a dream
A(add2)
There were two men eating pennies
CAnd three young girls who cried
D"The West coast is falling,
C A(add2)
I see rocks in the sky."
EThe preacher took his bible
And he laid it on the stool
He said: "withD the congegration running,
Why should CI play the fool'"
A(add2)
A(add2)
Well I used to be a woman, you know
CI took you for a ride,
DI let you fly my airplane
CIt looked good for your Apride.
A'cause you're the kind of man you know
CWho likes what he says.
DI wonder what's it's like
To be so far Cover my Ahead.
Well, the Elady made the wedding
EAnd she brought along the ring.
She got Ddown on her Cknees
And said: C'let's get on with this thing'.

Well I A7used to be a folk singer
CKeeping managers alive,
DWhen you saw me on a corner
And Ctold me I was jive. A7
So I A7unlocked your mind, you know
CTo see what I could see.
DIf you guarantee the postage,
I'll Cmail you back the key. A9
Well I Ewoke up in the morning
EWith an arrow through my nose
There was an DIndian in the corner
CTryin' on my clothes.
A
Em7Well I Aused to be asleep you know
CWith blankets on my bed.
DI stayed there for a while
'til they discCovered I was dead.Esus4
AThe coroner was friendly
CI liked him quite a lot.
DIf I hadn't 've been a woman
I guess I'd Cnever have been caught.A
They Egave me back my house and car
And nothing more was said.E
A
Well I was Adriving down the freeway
When my Ccar ran out of gas.
DPulled over to the station
But I Cwas afraid to ask.A
AThe servicemen were yellow
And the Cgasoline was green.
DAlthough I knew I could not
thought that I Cwas gonna scream.A
That was on my Elast trip to Tulsa
EJust before the snow.
If you Dever need a ride there,
Be sure Cto let me know.
A
I was Achopping down a palm tree
CWhen a friend dropped by to ask
DIf I would feel less lonely
C A(add2)
If he helped me swing the axe.
I said 'noA, it's not a case of being Clonely
CWe've have here,
I've been Dworking on this palm tree
C A(add2)
For eighty seven years.'

eighty seven yearCs.' A7
He said &Equot;go get lost"
EAnd walked towards his Cadillac.
DI chopped down the Dsus4palm tree
And Cit landed on his Cback.
