She ain’t got time for the evening stars
C majorC       G+G     C majorC
She gets up at five every morning
C majorC         Bb majorBb
She’s got a bucket in her hand
A minorAm           D7D7
Spilling poison on the neighbour’s land

Always brings a smile to that pretty face

We’re the only place that serves her here
