Intro: C


 C
I saw you at the railway station
Am
there had been a cancelation
F                 G
you were smoking cigarettes alone
 C              Am
I walked up and said hello, I lost my wife two days ago
  F           G        C
You shook my hand and said Francis was your name

       F   G
And you had a hat
      C   Am
And I had a hat
F        G
Mmm, we both had hats
        F    G
And my wife was dead
         Am    D
And your wife was dead
F   G        C
 Shit happens, Francis said



C
Francis said it's five o'clock
Am              F              G
How about we find a rock and throw at some cars from the bridge
 C
I laughed and said that sounds like fun
  Am
We walked into the setting sun
  F         G       C
And Francis said "I'm aiming at the kids"



        F  G
And he threw a rock
       C  Am
So I threw a rock
  F             G
We both put some gravel in a sock
         F  G         Am   D
And he threw the sock, I said we should stop
  F         G         C
He smiled at me, then threw a rock in a sock



  C
We snuck down to the local farm
  Am
And there we opened up the barn
  F                 G
To set the horses free and watch them run
  C
The moon was extra bright that night
  Am
The horses in the pale moonlight
 F          G          C
"Watch this" Francis said, and pulled his gun



       F   G
And he shot a horse
      C   Am
So I shot a horse
F                 G
Francis choked a chicken with his hands
         F G        Am  D
But watching them die, he started to cry
   F       G          C
"I'm bored" Francis said, let's steal a car



  G
Oh, Margaret, Oh Margaret
     F       C
Don't you worry bout' me now
  Am     F     C
I'm doing just fine on my own
     G                F         C
There are other things to life than your soft skin against mine
  Am     F        C
And Francis is helping me move on
  G   C
I'm moving on



C
Life's a bitch, a wise man said
  Am
No matter what, you end up dead
  F               G
And all that you can wish for is a friend
  C
So pour another glass of wine
   Am
With Francis shoulder touching mine
   F         G       C
I 'll stay right here until the bitter end



        F  G
And you have a hat
       C   Am
And I have a hat
F         G
Mmm, we both have hats
         F   G
And your wife is dead
        Am  D
And my wife is dead
F     G       Am
Here's to life, Francis said
F     G       Am
Here's to life, Francis said
F     G       C
Here's to life, Francis said
