[Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
Maureen, Maureen,

                                      C C/B Am
I shot a doctor last night on the airplane

       D
Well, they said he wouldn't hurt us

                               G
But he got me real nervous and mean

G
He was fat and he stank

                                        C C/B Am
And God knows that he drank more than we do

     D
So I shot him in the first class

                                  G
Then I bailed out and ran home to you
[Chorus]
G            C
But you don't believe me

                     G
I could tell by your smile

                      C
Honey, why don't you leave me

               D     D7
Get lost for a while, Maureen
[Verse 2]
 G
Maureen, Maureen,

                                        C C/B Am
There's a hole in between where we come from

        D
And the things that I'm thinking

                                  G
Ain't necessary the things that I say

G
I may have lied to myself

                                   C C/B Am
But I tried to tell God how I love you

         D
But even He don't answer

                         G
His phone anymore when I pray
[Chorus]
G            C
But you don't believe me

                     G
I could tell by your smile

                      C
Honey, why don't you leave me

               D     D7
Get lost for a while, Maureen
[Instrumental] G C C/B Am D G G7 [Chorus]
G            C
But you don't believe me

                     G
I could tell by your smile

                      C
Honey, why don't you leave me

               D     D7
Get lost for a while, Maureen
