Capo 4
Intro
C majorC FF C majorC FF C majorC (4x)
verse 1
Before I went to jail
FF C majorC
When I was sayin' that I was free
You was lined up down the avenue
G+G
Just about as far as I could see
FF
You got one eye on my dungarees
C majorC
And another on my reviews
And a third one on the waitress
G+G C majorC
She was straightenin' up the pews
FF
She was passin' around a basket
C majorC
She was wipin' off the spoon
G+G FF C majorC
She was readin' the handwriting on the moon (handwriting on the moon)
verse 2
You call yourself a handyman
FF C majorC
You can do anything with your hands
Telling me about your family
G+G
Telling me about your plans
FF
Yeah, well I ain't got the belly for this
C majorC
And you ain't got the brains
And if you emptied out all of your pockets, honey
G+G C majorC
You could not make the change
FF
She keeps passin' around that basket
C majorC
You keep droppin' in your dues
G+G FF C majorC
Instead of readin' the handwriting on the moon (handwriting on the moon)
verse 3
FF
Mine sure ain't the belly
C majorC
And I know yours ain't the brains
And if you emptied out all your pockets, honey
G+G C majorC
You could not make the change
If you emptied out all of your pockets, baby
G+G FF C majorC
You could not make the change___
