[Intro]
B7 Am6 (x3)
B7 Am7
[Verse 1]
C Cmaj7 Dm7
With a pail of water on the side of a hill
G7 F C
Warm sun and breeze in the grass and in her hair
C Cmaj7 Dm7
When you turn to kiss her, birds begin to sing
G7 F C
Louder and louder you're rolling down the hill
[Chorus 1]
C F Am7 Dm7 C Am7 F
Then you wake, it's the big swollen face
Fm6 Cm7 Bbm7 Cm7
A friend with a big mouth has leaned on the bell
[Verse 2]
C Cmaj7
He says I'm not in earnest
Dm7
Worthy boring and such
G7
He does what he knows best
F C
Which is not very much
C Cmaj7
Well I brought home his money
Dm7
And I nailed it onto the wall
G7
Doused it with diesel
F C
And as it burned I prayed
[Chorus 2]
C F Am7 Dm7 C Am7 F
Watch history made with a glass and a blade
Fm6 Cm7 Bbm7 Cm7
A friend with a big mouth is waiting for you
[Instrumental]
Bm Am Am7 Em7 Bm Am Am7 Em7
Now you know you're damned
Bm Am Am7 Em7
You can't move your legs
Bm Am Am7 Em7
You can hardly speak
[Verse 3]
C Cmaj7 Dm7
In the coward morning, Howard goes to work
G7 F C
Hopeful and grateful, he wears a boy/girl shirt
C Cmaj7 Dm7
And the sap is rising early, he must go for a walk
G7 F C
There is no hope for some of us yet
[Chorus 3]
C F Am7 Dm7 C Am7 F
Say what you want but you won't work again
Fm6 Cm7 Bbm7 Cm7
A friend with a big mouth has found someone else
[Outro]
Bm Am Am7 Em7 Bm Am Am7 Em7
You're coming home again
Bm Am Am7 Em7
You're going home again
Bm Am Am7 Em7
You're going home again
Bm Am Am7 Em7
You're going home again
