Chords with lyrics

G+G  A minorAm   C majorC   G+G


G+G              A minorAm
Another summer wasted in the Battlefords


    C majorC           G+G
on a banana seat bike with a hockey card in the spokes


G+G                            A minorAm
a friend of ours who's stopped his car by said that "he better get home"


               C majorC                G+G
he said "you're gonna get a beating. You're going to get the beating of your life"

E minorEm       D MajorD     C majorC
Nutrasweeth and Fresca and popshoppe


              EM     A minorAm
and all the best of what a baby sitter could afford


   E minorEm             C majorC
with enough negotiotiaion and a freckled smile


 G+G               A minorAm
Another summer wasted in the Battlefords


        C majorC
our dust coated freezie stained lips


   G+G
and lawn darts in the yard


G+G
And the rickedst guy in town drives his new


             A minorAm
Lincoln drunk on the old dusty streets

       C majorC           G+G
balancing a snifter of gin on the edge of his knee


E minorEm     D MajorD       C majorC
Rocky road, tiger tail and bubble gum and all the rest of them


          A minorAm              E minorEm         C majorC
that a baby sitter could afford with the right negotiotiaion and a freckled smile


  G+G                  B minorBm
They say that wealth is revealed in the teeth


               C majorC
that's we're all wearing braces


       G+G      A minorAm      C majorC
and dirty fingernails that a good akela wouldn't approve of


G+G               B minorBm
Not another broken arm in the heat


                      C majorC
he fell bringing pop and chips home one handed


        G+G
we weren't invincible


A minorAm             C majorC
and the sensei said "he'll sit out the summer"


 G+G                 A minorAm
Another summer wasted in the Battlefords


        C majorC
Dad shakes his head at the car that's been


G+G
sitting on blocks for years


G+G
and the weird kid who smoked two cigarettes playing bingo


     A minorAm
then his Mom came to the rescue


         C majorC
she stood up and chided everyone with her finger outstretched


    G+G
saying "you're not the boss of him"


E minorEm     D MajorD       C majorC
Ring pops, banana runts, popeye cigarettes


                       A minorAm
and everything that's best that a baby sitter could afford


     E minorEm           C majorC
with the right negotiation and a freckled smile


G+G                    B minorBm
They say that wealth is revealed in the teeth


               C majorC
that's we're all wearing braces


      G+G       A minorAm       C majorC
and dirty fingernails that a good akela wouldn't approve of


G+G               B minorBm
Not another broken arm in the heat


                      C majorC
he fell bringing pop and chips home one handed


        G+G
we weren't invincible


A minorAm             C majorC
and the sensei said "he'll sit out the summer"


E minorEm              D MajorD               C majorC
