Chords

[Verse 1]
G
I pounded on a farmhouse lookin' for a place to stay
I was mighty, mighty tired I had come a long, long way
         C
I said "Hey hey in there is there anybody home?"

         G
I was standin' on the steps feelin' most alone

      D
When out comes a farmer he must have thought that I was nuts

       G
He immediately looked at me and stuck a gun into my guts
[Verse 2]
G
I fell down to my bended knees
Saying "I dig farmers don't shoot me, please"
     C
He cocked his rifle and began to shout

                G
"Are you that travelin' salesman that I have heard about?"

        D
I said "No, no, no I'm a doctor and it's true

        G
I'm a clean-cut kid and I been to college too"
[Verse 3]
G
Then in comes his daughter whose name was Rita
She looked like she stepped out of La Dolce Vita
         C
I immediately tried to cool it with her dad

      G
And told him what a nice pretty farm he had

           D
He said "What do doctors know about farms, pray tell?"

               G
I said "I was born at the bottom of a wishing well"
[Verse 4]
G
Well, by the dirt 'neath my nails I guess he knew I wouldn't lie
He said "I guess you're tired" He said it kind of sly
         C
I said "Yes, ten thousand miles today I drove"

         G
He said "I got a bed for you underneath the stove

  D
Just one condition you can go to sleep right now

          G
That you don't touch my daughter and in the morning, milk the cows"
[Verse 5]
G
I was sleepin' like a rat when I heard something jerkin'
There stood Rita lookin' just like Tony Perkins
  C
She said "Would you like to take a shower? I'll show you up to the door"

         G
I said "Oh, no, no I've been through this movie before"

    D
I knew I had to split but I did not know how

           G
When she said "Would you like to take that shower now?"
[Verse 6]
G
Well, I couldn't leave unless the old man chased me out
'Cause I'd already promised that I'd milk his cows
   C
I had to say something to strike him very weird

      G
So I yelled "I like Fidel Castro and his beard"

   D
Rita looked offended but she got out of the way

        G
As he came charging down the stairs sayin' "What's that I heard you say?"
[Verse 7]
G
I said, "I like Fidel Castro I think you heard me right"
And I ducked as he swung at me with all his might
   C
Rita mumbled something 'Bout her mother on the hill

        G
As his fist, it hit the icebox he said he's going to kill

 D
Me if I don't get out the door in two seconds flat

      G
"You unpatriotic Rotten doctor Commie rat"
[Verse 8]
G
Well, he threw a Reader's Digest at my head and I did run
I did a somersault as I seen him get his gun
     C
And crashed through the window at a hundred miles an hour

     G
And landed fully blast in his garden flowers

  D
Rita said "Come back" and he started to load

     G
The sun was comin' up and I was runnin' down the road
[Verse 9]
G
Well, I don't figure I'll be back there for a spell
Even though Rita moved away and got a job at a motel
     C
He still waits for me constant on the sly

     G
He wants to turn me in to the F.B.I

 D
Me, I romp and stompings thankful as I romp

        G
Without freedom of speech I might be in the swamp
