“The Lonesome Friends of Science” by John Prine from the album Tree of Forgiveness
[Intro] C
[Chorus] C The lonesome friends of science say F The world will end most any day C Well, if it does, then that's okay G Cuz I don't live here anyway C I live down deep inside my head F Where long ago I made my bed C I get my mail in Tennessee G My wife, my dog, and my family C Uh-huh
[Verse] C Poor old planet Pluto now F He never stood a chance no how C When he got uninvited to G The interplanetary dance C Once a mighty planet there F Now just an ordinary star C Hanging out in Hollywood G In some ol' funky sushi bar
[Chorus] C The lonesome friends of science say F The world will end most any day C Well, if it does, then that's okay G Cuz I don't live here anyway C I live down deep inside my head F Where long ago I made my bed C I get my mail in Tennessee G My wife, my dog, and my kids, and me C Uh-huh
[Verse] C The Vulcan lives in Birmingham F Sometimes he just don't give a damn C His head is full of bumblebees G His pride hangs down below his knees C Venus left him long ago F For a guy named Mars from Idaho C The Vulcan sent a wedding gift: G Three-legged stool and a wheelchair lift C Uh-huh
[Chorus] C The lonesome friends of science say F The world will end most any day C Well, if it does, then that's okay G Cuz I don't live here anyway C I live down deep inside my head F Where long ago I made my bed C I get my mail in Tennessee G My wife, my dog, my kids, and me CAm Uh-huh, uh-huh CAm Uh-huh, uh-huh C Uh-huh
[Verse] C Those bastards in their white lab coats F Who experiment with mountain goats C Should leave the universe alone G It's not their business, not their home C I go to sleep, and it never rains F My dog predicts hurricanes C She can smell a storm a mile away G That's all the news we have today C Uh-huh
[Chorus] C The lonesome friends of science say F The world will end most any day C Well, if it does, then that's okay G Cuz I don't live here anyway C I live down deep inside my head F Where long ago I made my bed C I get my mail in Tennessee G My wife, my dog, my kids, and me CAm Uh-huh, uh-huh CAm Uh-huh, uh-huh C Uh-huh
