Capo 2nd Fret)
Intro: [A] [G] [D]
They were squeaky clean when they arrived,
[A] Don't know how they'll all survive,
The smell of smoke and the after effects of [D] beans;
But everybody smells the same,
[A] that's why you'll hear no one complain,
'Cause everyone goes a little insane,
Up at the [D] cabin.
They start around noon and all you can hear,
"Is the [A] chicken thawed? Do we have enough beer?"
'Cause everyone said they're comin' over to- [D] night;
The women got the men as busy as bees,
With their [A] big beer bellies and their knobby knees,
Like a bunch of old beavers chewin' down trees,
U p at the [D] cabin.
Chorus:
[G] Nobody's sad, everyone's glad,
To see [D] somebody droppin' by,
[E] Have a beer, [E7] have a drink,
Have a [A] piece of the missus' blueberry pie;
They're [G] eating things they wouldn't eat before,
[D] Sittin' at the table or on the floor,
'Cause, anything goes when you walk through that door,
[A] Up at the [D] cabin.
Someone starts singin' an old time song,
[A] And everybody starts singin' along,
The racket would make you drink another bottle of [D] beer;
Bertha's on the Bailey's and Gurdy's on the gin,
[A] Tellin' dirty jokes that would shame the men,
But it wouldn't be the same if they never came in,
With us to the [D] cabin.
By two A.M. they're all half cut,
[A] Bud is at the barbeque stuffin' his gut,
And someone says, "I think I'm gonna be [D] sick."
They've all had one too many to drive,
[A] Might as well stay for the night,
Last one in bed turns out the light,
Up at the [D] cabin.
Chorus:
Oh, [G] nobody's sad, everyone's glad,
To see [D] somebody droppin' by,
[E] Have a beer, [E7] have a drink,
Have a [A] piece of the missus' blueberry pie;
They're [G] eating things they wouldn't eat before,
[D] Sittin' at the table or on the floor,
'Cause, anything goes when you walk through that door,
[A] Up at the [D] cabin.
Everyone is tryin' to get some sleep,
[A] Back-to-back, head-to-feet,
Someone swears, "Get your backside outta me [D] face."
Then somebody else starts to snore,
[A] and he ends up on the floor,
My son, you won't be sleepin' anymore,
Up in this [D] cabin.
But nobody's thinkin' 'bout gettin' up,
[A] There's no chance for makin' love,
There's five of them all coiled up on the [D] bed;
Then the beer and the barbeque comes alive,
[A] Someone moans "My son, who died?"
They all laughed until they cried,
Up at the [D] cabin.
Chorus:
Oh, [G] nobody's sad, everyone's glad,
To see [D] somebody droppin' by,
[E] Have a beer, [E7] have a drink,
Have a [A] piece of the missus' blueberry pie;
They're [G] eating things they wouldn't eat before,
[D] Sittin' at the table or on the floor,
'Cause, anything goes when you walk through the door,
[A] Up at the [D] cabin.
Oh, you say you that you're too sick to eat,
[A] Shirt on backwards, boots on the wrong feet,
Wouldn't be caught dead like this anywhere [D] else;
Hair looks like lightnin' struck,
You [A] think you'd been run over by a truck,
Nobody seems to give a darn,
Up at the [D] cabin.
Though me bills are not paid and me mortgage is due,
Spent [A] two hundred bucks on grub and booze,
I'll wait till next month to get tires for me [D] car;
Monday morning on the job again,
[A] A whole lot poorer then when we came in,
Can't wait till Friday after work and then,
It's back to the [D] cabin.
Chorus:
Oh, [G] nobody's sad, everyone's glad,
To see [D] somebody droppin' by,
[E] Have a beer, [E7] have a drink,
Have a [A] piece of the missus' blueberry pie;
They're [G] eating things they wouldn't eat before,
[D] Sittin' at the table or on the floor,
'Cause, anything goes when you walk through the door,
[A] Up at the [D] cabin.
Ah, anything goes when you walk through that door,
[A] Up at the [D] cabin.
