"hand o ver that rabbit fur coat"...
[repeat the same thing for the rest of the verses:]
C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
I was of poor folk,
C majorC A minorAm D MajorD G+G
but my mother had a rabbit fur coat.
G+G G+G C majorC C majorC
And a girl of less character pushed her down the LA river.
C majorC G+G C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
"Hand over that rabbit fur coat"
C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
She put a knife to her throat
C majorC A minorAm D MajorD G+G
'Hand over that rabbit fur coat'
G+G G+G C majorC C majorC
When my ma refused, the girl kicked dirt on her blouse.
C majorC G+G C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
"Stay away from my mansion house."
C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
My mother really suffered for that.
C majorC A minorAm D MajorD G+G
Spent her life in a gold plated body cast.
G+G G+G C majorC C majorC
Now, you ask, did she get that girl back?
C majorC G+G C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
She payed a visit to that mansion house.
C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
She knew the girl was not there,
C majorC A minorAm D MajorD G+G
but her father was in cufflinks with slicked-back black hair
G+G G+G C majorC G+G
He invited her in. They never sang a note,
C majorC G+G C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
but she took off that rabbit fur coat.
C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
And who do you think came home?
C majorC A minorAm D MajorD G+G
Miss So and So
G+G G+G C majorC C majorC
She took one look at my mama and what did she say?
C majorC G+G C majorC
"Why are you stealing from my mansion house?"
C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
"No, I'm in love with Mr. So and So
C majorC A minorAm D MajorD G+G
He invited me in. I'm a girl no more."
G+G G+G C majorC C majorC
Then she dragged my ma out by her throat.
C majorC G+G C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
"Hand over that rabbit fur coat."
C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
Let's move ahead twenty years, shall we?
C majorC A minorAm D MajorD G+G
She was waitressing on welfare. We were living in the Valley.
G+G G+G C majorC C majorC
A augmentedA lady says to my ma "you treat your girl as your spouse.
C majorC G+G C majorC
You can live in a mansion house."
C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
And so we did,
C majorC A minorAm D MajorD G+G
and I became a hundred-thousand-dollar kid.
G+G G+G C majorC (strum once (pause)
When I was old enough to realize; wiped the dust from my mother's eyes...
C majorC G+G C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
It's all this for that rabbit fur coat.
C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
But I'm not bitter about it
C majorC A minorAm D MajorD G+G
I've packed up my things and let them have at it,
G+G G+G C majorC C majorC
and the fortune faded, as fortunes often do,
C majorC G+G C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
and so did that mansion house.
C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
Where my ma is now, I don't know.
C majorC A minorAm D MajorD G+G
She was living in her car. I was living on the road,
G+G G+G C majorC C majorC
and I hear she's putting that stuff up her nose,
C majorC G+G C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
and still wearing that rabbit fur coat.
C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
But mostly I'm a hypocrite
C majorC A minorAm D MajorD G+G
I sing songs about the defecit,
G+G G+G
but when I sell out and leave Omaha,
C majorC C majorC (strum, pause)
what will I get?
C majorC G+G C majorC C majorC
a mansion house and a rabbit fur coat.
:D The End. this song is amazing.
