[Intro]
F# Bb B Bb F# Bb B
[Verse]
F# Bb
I never thought I’d write a love song for a cop,
B
But then you produced the antidote,
Bb F#
To feelings that I never longed to stop,
Two hearts beating,
Bb B
A roadside execution,
Let’s start at the top.
[Chorus]
F# F#/F
One half smoked cigar,
Eb
A stolen Tan Ciera car,
B C# F#
I’ve lost my will to lose my will again,
B Bm
Now Margie you’re my only friend,
F# F#/F Eb
I know it gets hard,
B C# F#
But spare a thought for Jerry Lundegaard,
B
That pleasant day,
Bm F#
His planning fell apart,
[Verse]
F# Bb B Eb B
F# Bb B
There’s more to life than money,
B Bb F#
It’s corny but it is true,
F#
And somewhere out there in the tundra,
Bb B
Is a briefcase filled with cash,
B
That nobody can use,
F# Bb B
All this malfeasance for no reason,
Bb F#
Has my patience at an end,
F#
A painting on a postage stamp,
Bb B
A loving hand across your tummy,
B
The comforts you defend.
[Chorus]
F# F#/F
One half smoked cigar,
Eb
A stolen Tan Ciera car,
B C# F#
I’ve lost my will to lose my will again,
B Bm
Now Margie you’re my only friend,
F# F#/F Eb
I know it gets hard,
B C# F#
But spare a thought for Jerry Lundegaard,
B
That pleasant day,
Bm F#
His planning fell apart,
[Instrumental]
F# Bb B C# Eb F F#
[Verse]
F# Bb B
Trudging through the snow,
Bb F#
From Brainerd up to Fargo,
F#
The sight of limbs becoming branches,
Bb B
Mists of blood and money loaned,
B
A third trimester road show,
[Chorus]
F# F#/F
One half smoked cigar,
Eb
A stolen Tan Ciera car,
B C# F#
I’ve lost my will to lose my will again,
B Bm
Now Margie you’re my only friend,
F# F#/F Eb
I know it gets hard,
B C# F#
But spare a thought for Jerry Lundegaard,
B
That pleasant day,
Bm F#
His planning fell apart,
[Instrumental]

[Outro]
F# E
Somewhere out there in the tundra is
B F#
a briefcase filled with cash that nobody can use x3
