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.
