SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME
Words and music by John Prine and Gary Nicholson >From Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings, Oh Boy Records, 1995
Cat Fight rattlin' the garbage can AE Looks like somethin' chased you up a tree B7E Same thing, same thing happened to me
E Wild wind blowing down the neck of my shirt
Old men sitting on a bench in the dirt AE Seems that another ship has gone out to sea B7E Same thing, same thing happened to me
INSTRUMENTAL: EAEB7E
E Shoe shine someone's got to tell ya the news
A fine line separates a boy from the blues AE Looks like you could use some company B7E Same thing, same thing happened to me
E Runnin', runnin' just as fast as I can
Someone, someone take a hold of my hand AE Looks like somethin' chased you up a tree B7E Same thing, same thing happened to me B7E Same thing, same thing happened to me
