[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G Say you wanna see my garden G And you wanna make it shine G Say you wanna see my blue jeans G Hanging on your old clothesline
[Chorus 1]
C D Standing in the back door crying G C Now you wanna be my friend E7 Am That's the way the cornbread crumbles D G That's the way the whole thing ends
[Verse 2]
G Now what's a little baby doing G Dressing up in banker's clothes? G What's a little sweetheart like you G Doing with a bloody nose?
[Chorus 2]
C D Standing in the backdoor crying G C Now you're gonna need a friend E7 Am That's the way the cornbread crumbles D G That's the way the whole thing ends
[Verse 3]
G Now once you had a hook and ladder G Up into the headless night G Once you had a motorcycle G But you couldn't ride it right
[Chorus 2]
C D Standing in the backdoor crying G C Now you're gonna need a friend E7 Am That's the way the cornbread crumbles D G That's the way the whole thing ends
[Verse 4]
G Now someone said something one time G But Daddy didn't talk too loud G People ought to stick together G That's the way to make a crowd
[Chorus 3]
C D But here you come, alone and crying G C Now you wanna be my friend E7 Am That's the way the cornbread crumbles D C That's the way the whole thing ends
[Verse 5]
G Mama's in the beauty parlor G And Daddy's in the baseball pool G Sister's in the drive-in movie G Brother's in the old high school
[Chorus 4]
C D Now here you come, alone and crying G C Once, you know, you were my friend E7 Am That's the way the cornbread crumbles D G That's the way the whole thing ends
[Chorus 1]
C D Standing in the back door crying G C Now you wanna be my friend E7 Am That's the way the cornbread crumbles D G That's the way the whole thing ends
[Outro]
