Вступление
Version from album of the same name. Lyrics taken from record inner sleeve.
Strumming pattern isn't super complicated; just listen to the song a couple times.
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
What I did on my vacation
Bm A
For the last ten years
D
Took pictures of your town
Bm A
Plaid perfume on my breath
G A
I mean I've been drinking Scotch
G E
While touring through your town
[Verse 2]
D
Adultery makes you give things away
Bm A
It gets you confused
D
Adultery takes a one-room vacation
Bm A
Then it gets you alone
G A
Turns it into a honeymoon scream
G E
Then you have to change the sheets
[Chorus]
G B C B C
Smoke in one hand looking for a light
Em
Martini in the other hand
A
Pointing at midnight
D
[Verse 3]
D
Now that you pulled the school underwater
Bm A
And drowned the prom
D
Which man will you save for this Friday
Bm A
You can put him in a fish pond
G A
And watch him swim around
G E
Then have a Catholic dinner
[Verse 4]
D
If it isn't men it's death
Bm A
It's the same Old Testament
D
At the cross her station keeping
Bm A
Stood the mournful mother weeping
G A
Where my man extended hung
G E
Driven with nails to wood
[Chorus 2]
G B C B C
Smoke in one hand looking for a drink
Em
Drink in the other hand
A
Pointing at midnight
D
[Verse 5]
D
At my desk as you're sleeping
Bm A
As the big deal of death
D
Kills me and starts leaving
Bm A
Everybody asks me how I'm doing
G A
I'm doing everything alone
G E
Rave on children and try to sleep
[Verse 6]
D
Larks must sing grave deep melodies
Bm A
Happy they that die
D
The sly brown fox pulled up a glass
Bm A
Pulled up a chair
G A
And yanked out my hair
G A
When I tried to sit I fell down
G E
When I woke up he was gone
[Chorus 3]
G B C B C
So one has a smoke, one has a drink
Em
The man is gone, Mary's dead
A
Good morning midnight
D
(repeat till end)
