Here's Hopin'
From the album Odessa

Intro:
C5 E5 (x2)

Verse 1:
C5
Here's hopin' the food don't get cold
          E5
and the phone don't ring
C5
That thing has a habit
              E5
of suddenly changing things

Chorus:
F               Fm
Last time they called
                       Am
they were looking for you
F                 Fm
They're calling again
                Am   E
What am I gonna do?

Interlude:
C5 E5 (x2)

Verse 2:
C5
Sometimes that ol' mailman,
              E5
he carries a bag of tricks
C5
He once left me something
                  E5
that sure left me in a fix

Chorus:
F                 Fm
That letter said lots of things
              Am
that weren't true
F                  Fm
But everything's changed now,
               Am  E
and what can I do?

Interlude:
C5 E5 (x2)

Verse 3:
C5
Just like an old movie-star
            E5
jumps at a telegram
C5
The second he gets it,
                       E5
his brain hears those jail doors slam

Chorus:
F                   Fm
He'll get caught up in
              Am
an elaborate scam
F              Fm
with too many subplots
                 Am   E
to count on his hands

Outro:
C5 E5 (x3)
