Asus2   A
Well, I used to drive a cab, you know
C
  I heard a siren scream
D
  Pulled over to the corner
C                     A
And fell into a dream
           A
There were two men eating pennies
C

  And three young girls who cried
D
  "The West coast is falling,
C                     A
I see rocks in the sky."

The preacher took his bible
       E7
And he laid it on the stool

He said: "with the congegration running,
           C                Asus2  A  Asus2  A
Why should I play the fool "

Well I used to be a woman, you know
C
  I took you for a ride,
D
  I let you fly my airplane
C                       A     Asus2 A
It looked good for your pride.
       A
'cause you're the kind of man you know
C
  Who likes what he says.
D
  I wonder what's it's like
             C       A
To be so far over my head.
          E
Well, the lady made the wedding
        E7
And she brought along the ring.
        D           Dsus4
She got down on her knees
           C                             Asus2  A  Asus2  A
And said: 'let's get on with this thing'.


Verse 3:
Asus2  A
Well I used to be a folk singer
        C
Keeping managers alive,
     D
When you saw me on a corner
    C             A
And told me I was jive.
     A
So I unlocked your mind, you know
C
  To see what I could see.
D
  If you guarantee the postage,
     C                 A
I'll mail you back the key.
       E
Well I woke up in the morning
        E7
With an arrow through my nose
             D             Dsus4
There was an Indian in the corner
C
Tryin' on my clothes.

Well I used to be asleep you know
     C
With blankets on my bed.
D
  I stayed there for a while
             C
'til they discovered I was dead.
A
  The coroner was friendly
  C
I liked him quite a lot.
D
If I hadn't've been a woman
            C                    A
I guess I'd never have been caught.
     E
They called up all my friends and told them
     E7
They had been misled
     D
They gave me back my house and car
    C
And nothing more was said.

Well I was driving down the freeway
        C
When my car ran out of gas.

Pulled over to the station
      C                 A  Asus2 A   x4
But I was afraid to ask.

The servicemen were yellow
        C
And the gasoline was green.

Although I knew I could not
               C                A  Asus2 A   x4
thought that I was gonna scream.

Just before the snow.

       C
When a friend dropped by to ask
D
  If I would feel less lonely

If he helped me swing the axe.

And walked towards his Cadillac.

I chopped down the palm tree
    C
And it landed on his back.
