[Chorus]
G C Em
Gumby Gumby
F G
You should call your daughter again
C Em
Don’t call me
F
Call your daughter
[VERSE ONE]
Em Am
Gumby, I just can’t do anything
F C
Can’t do anything right
Em Am
Don’t ask me, if I'll help when helping you
F C
Just means someone to fight
Em C
It's so hard, putting on your clothes
G Am
You don’t even move to cover your skin
G Em C
Why move, moving is how things begin
Em C
The front yard taken by the crows
G Am
Blackguards with their shiny pieces of tin
G C Em C
So much fury you bury it in
[Chorus]
G Am
Gumby, we should call your daughter
F C
Please call your daughter again
Em Am
You must see, things are getting harder
F C
Getting more out of hand
[VERSE TWO]
Em C
Dude, you're not even that old
Em Am
How bad must it be to be bad as this
G C Em C
All day filling a bottomless pit
Em C
All those trinkets bought and sold
Em Am
All tokens you've thrown down to the abyss
Em C Em C
There’s a bottom that you’ll never hit
[Bridge]
Em C Em
I don’t know just how you explain this
C
To a kid with nowhere to live
G C Em
Tell her that the father she has means well
F G
But just has nothing to give
[Chorus]
G C Em
Gumby Gumby
F G
You should call your daughter again
C Em
Don’t call me
F G
Call your daughter again
G C Em
Gumby Gumby
F G
You should call your daughter again
C Em
Don’t call me
F G
Call your daughter
