Forbidden Jimmy by John Prine


 G+G
Forbidden Jimmy
                        D MajorD
Has got a mighty sore tooth
                      C majorC
From biting too many dimes
D MajorD                G+G
In a telephone booth

G+G
He's got half of his boot lace
               D MajorD
Tied to the dial
                 C majorC
Well thank you operator
D MajorD                      G+G
For getting Jimmy to smile

G+G
"Call out the coast guard"
                  D MajorD
Screamed the police
              C majorC
Forbidden Jimmy
D MajorD                      G+G
He's got three water skis

G+G
He put two on his wavelength
                      D MajorD
And gave one to his girl
                      C majorC
She's a mighty fine person
D MajorD                     G+G
It's a mighty fine world

                          C majorC
I'm gonna make all your sorrows bright
                G+G
Set your soul free
                 C majorC
I'll see you tomorrow night
                D MajorD
If I can still see

G+G
Ginger Caputo
              D MajorD
And Dorian Gray
                       C majorC
Oughta stay out of pictures
D MajorD                      G+G
If they got nothin' to say

G+G
Stack 'em back on the rack Jack
                            D MajorD
Ya know, you're hurting my eye
              C majorC
Forbidden Jimmy
D MajorD                       G+G
He's getting ready to fly

                        C majorC
Gonna make all your sorrows bright
                G+G
Set your soul free
                 C majorC
I'll see you tomorrow night
                D MajorD
If I can still see

G+G
I got caught cooking popcorn
                 D MajorD
And calling it hail
                      C majorC
They wanna stick my head
D MajorD                G+G
Inside a water pail

G+G
Ya know, they're gonna be sorry
                          D MajorD
They're gonna pay for it too
            C majorC
Forbidden jimmy
D MajorD                       G+G
He's coming straight at you
