verse 1
   G/DG/D     G/C#     G/BG/B
Honey, don't you be yelling at me
     G/AG/A     G+G   G/F#  E minorEm  G/AG/A
when I'm cleaning my gun
  G/DG/D    G/C#     G/BG/B
I'll wash the blood off the tailgate
   G/AG/A     G+G   G/F#  E minorEm  G/BG/B
when deer season's done
    G+G         A7sus2
We got one more weekend to go
    G+G      G/F#    E minorEm  G/BG/B
And I'd like to kill one more doe

Instrumental
G/DG/D     G/C#    Em/GEm/G      Em/F#
G+G      G/F#    A7sus2

verse 2
   G/DG/D     G/C#     G/BG/B
So I'll shovel the sidewalk again
     G/AG/A     G+G   G/F#  E minorEm  G/AG/A
'cause you're still in a stew
     G/DG/D       G/C#     G/BG/B
I bet the bridge tender's widow won't mind
     G/AG/A     G+G   G/F#  E minorEm  G/AG/A
that I can't please you
    G+G         A7sus2
She's sure got the run of the men
    G+G      G/F#    E minorEm
Out here where the pickin's are thin
G/BG/B
and there's not much to do

Instrumental
G/DG/D     G/C#    Em/GEm/G      Em/F#
G+G      G/F#    E minorEm       G/AG/A

Bridge
B minorBm
I woke up last night in the grip of a fright
G+G
scared to breathe for I might make a noise
B minorBm
This life that we craved so little we saved
G+G                A7sus2
between the grandparents graves and the grandchildren's toys

verse 3
      G/DG/D     G/C#     G/BG/B
We grew up hard    and our children
     G/AG/A     G+G   G/F#  E minorEm  G/AG/A
don't know what that means
     G/DG/D     G/C#    G/BG/B
We turned into our parents  before
     G/AG/A     G+G   G/F#  E minorEm  G/AG/A
 we were out of our teens
    G+G           A7sus2
Through a series of Chevys and Fords
    G+G   G/F#      E minorEm
The occasional spin round the floor
G/BG/B
at the Copper Canteen

Instrumental
G/DG/D     G/C#    Em/GEm/G   Em/GEm/G Em/F# E minorEm
G+G      G/F#    A7sus2

verse 4
    G/DG/D     G/C#   G/BG/B
Now the big boxes out on the bypass
   G/AG/A     G+G   G/F#  E minorEm  G/AG/A
are shaving us thin
     G/DG/D     G/C#    G/BG/B
I guess we'll hold on a couple more years
   G/AG/A       G+G   G/F#  E minorEm  G/AG/A
'til the pension kicks in
      G+G           A7sus2
Then we'll sell all the stock in the store
    G+G   G/F#      E minorEm
Leave only the lock on the door
G/BG/B
And wonder what then

Instrumental
G/DG/D     G/C#  G/C#  G/BG/B G/AG/A G/BG/B E minorEm
 G+G      G/F#    E minorEm  G/BG/B

Bridge
B minorBm
When I wake up at night in the grip of a fright
G+G
and you hold me so tight to your chest
B minorBm
Then your breath on my skin still pulls me back in
G+G                A7sus2
'til I'm weightless and then I can rest

Verse 5
    G/DG/D     G/C#   G/BG/B
So if Monsignor should pull you aside
     G/AG/A      G+G   G/F#  E minorEm  G/AG/A
as you're leaving the church
    G/DG/D     G/C#   G/BG/B
And I'm out on the ice, dropping lines
     G/AG/A      G+G   G/F#  E minorEm  G/AG/A
for the walleye and perch
            G+G           A7sus2
Tell him it's not your job to bring me to the fold
    G+G      G/F#      E minorEm  G/AG/A
And I'd rather stand out in the cold

Verse 6
    G/DG/D       G/C#    G/BG/B
And honey I know that the woodpile's low
     G/AG/A      G+G   G/F#  E minorEm  G/AG/A
and you can't close the flue
    G/DG/D     G/C#   G/BG/B
So I'll split up a couple more cords
     G/AG/A      G+G   G/F#  E minorEm  G/AG/A
'fore the winter time's through
G+G           A7sus2
Hold on to your rosary beads
   G+G    G/F#     E minorEm
Leave me to my mischievous deeds
 G/AG/A
like we always do
