 A                        E
I'm awfully tired of the same old business

B                E
Kiss the babies, make 'em cry

 A                      E
I'm only lookin' for one good woman

  B                 E
Cross my heart and hope to die

  B                   E
Stick a needle in my eye, eye, eye

 A             E
Got a load of mashed potatoes

  B                     E
Holdin' gravy like a fishin' hole

   A                   E
I know something that might sound funny

   B                   E
I got no money and my buddy's broke

   B                   E
I got no money and my buddy's broke

  A               E
Counterculture, mother vulture

 B                    E
Post Toasties and a quart of beer

 A                      E
I'm only looking for a place to go to

  B                        E
Somebody ask me what I'm doin' here?

  B                        E
Somebody ask me what I'm doin' here?

   A                     E
A boneless breast and a crispy thigh

  B                          E
Sittin' at the bar n' giving me the eye

 A                  E
Black crows on a garbage can

  B                         E
What kind of fella do you think I am?

  B                   E
Stick a needle in my eye, eye, eye

 A                   E
I'm fallin' in with bad companions

    B                     E
My mind is weak and my throat is dry

   A                 E
Thanksgiving in the Grand Canyon

 B                               E
Can't keep my fingers off that country pie

 A                        E
I'm awfully tired of the same old business

 B                E
Kiss the babies, make 'em cry

 A                   E
I'm only lookin' for one good woman

  B                 E
Cross my heart and hope to die

  B                   E
Stick a needle in my eye, eye, eye

  B                   E
Stick a needle in my eye, eye, eye
