[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C
I saw you at the railway station
Am
there had been a cancelation
F G
you were smoking cigarettes alone
C Am
I walked up and said hello, I lost my wife two days ago
F G C
You shook my hand and said Francis was your name
[Chorus 1]
F G
And you had a hat
C Am
And I had a hat
F G
Mmm, we both had hats
F G
And my wife was dead
Am D
And your wife was dead
F G C
Shit happens, Francis said
[Verse 2]
C
Francis said it's five o'clock
Am F G
How about we find a rock and throw at some cars from the bridge
C
I laughed and said that sounds like fun
Am
We walked into the setting sun
F G C
And Francis said "I'm aiming at the kids"
[Chorus 2]
F G
And he threw a rock
C Am
So I threw a rock
F G
We both put some gravel in a sock
F G Am D
And he threw the sock, I said we should stop
F G C
He smiled at me, then threw a rock in a sock
[Verse 3]
C
We snuck down to the local farm
Am
And there we opened up the barn
F G
To set the horses free and watch them run
C
The moon was extra bright that night
Am
The horses in the pale moonlight
F G C
"Watch this" Francis said, and pulled his gun
[Chorus 3]
F G
And he shot a horse
C Am
So I shot a horse
F G
Francis choked a chicken with his hands
F G Am D
But watching them die, he started to cry
F G C
"I'm bored" Francis said, let's steal a car
[Bridge]
G
Oh, Margaret, Oh Margaret
F C
Don't you worry bout' me now
Am F C
I'm doing just fine on my own
G F C
There are other things to life than your soft skin against mine
Am F C
And Francis is helping me move on
G C
I'm moving on
[Verse 4]
C
Life's a bitch, a wise man said
Am
No matter what, you end up dead
F G
And all that you can wish for is a friend
C
So pour another glass of wine
Am
With Francis shoulder touching mine
F G C
I 'll stay right here until the bitter end
[Chorus 4]
F G
And you have a hat
C Am
And I have a hat
F G
Mmm, we both have hats
F G
And your wife is dead
Am D
And my wife is dead
F G Am
Here's to life, Francis said
F G Am
Here's to life, Francis said
F G C
Here's to life, Francis said
