Intro
A(add2)
Well, I used to drive a cab, you know
CI heard a siren scream
Pulled over to the corner
C A(add2)And fell into a dream
A(add2)There were two men eating pennies
And three young girls who cried
D"The West coast is falling,
C A(add2)I see rocks in the sky."
The preacher took his bible
And he laid it on the stool
DHe said: "with the congegration running,
Why should I play the fool?"
A(add2)A(add2)
Well I used to be a woman, you know
I took you for a ride,
DI let you fly my airplane
C AIt looked good for your pride.
'cause you're the kind of man you know
CWho likes what he says.
DI wonder what's it's like
To be so far over my head.
EWell, the lady made the wedding
E
And she brought along the ring.
D CShe got down on her knees
And said: 'let's get on with this thing'.
A7A7
Well I used to be a folk singer
Keeping managers alive,
DWhen you saw me on a corner
C A7And told me I was jive.
So I unlocked your mind, you know
CTo see what I could see.
DIf you guarantee the postage,
I'll mail you back the key.
EWell I woke up in the morning
EWith an arrow through my nose
There was an Indian in the corner
CTryin' on my clothes.
A
Well I used to be asleep you know
CWith blankets on my bed.
DI stayed there for a while
'til they discovered I was dead.
AThe coroner was friendly
CI liked him quite a lot.
If I hadn't 've been a woman
C AI guess I'd never have been caught.
EThey gave me back my house and car
And nothing more was said.
AA
Well I was driving down the freeway
When my car ran out of gas.
DPulled over to the station
C ABut I was afraid to ask.
The servicemen were yellow
CAnd the gasoline was green.
DAlthough I knew I could not
thought that I was gonna scream.
EThat was on my last trip to Tulsa
EJust before the snow.
If you ever need a ride there,
CBe sure to let me know.
A
I was chopping down a palm tree
CWhen a friend dropped by to ask
DIf I would feel less lonely
If he helped me swing the axe.
A CI said 'no, it's not a case of being lonely
CWe've have here,
I've been working on this palm tree
C A(add2)For eighty seven years.'

I've been working on this palm tree
C A7eighty seven years.'
