Paul Kelly – To Her Door (Guitar)

G                  D    C               G
  They got married early, never had much money

                 D        C                    G
Then when he got laid off, they really hit the skids

                  D       C                   G
He started up his drinking, then they started fighting

                  D     C              G
He took it pretty badly, she took both the kids

           Em               D
She said, "I'm not standing by

C                   D
to watch you slowly die

            C       D        G    D
So watch me walking, out the door

        C    G              D
Out the door, out the door"

           C                                            G    D  C  G
She said, "Shove it, Jack, I'm walking out your fucking door"

                D        C              G
She went to her brother's, got a little bar work

               D      C                   G
He went to the buttery, he stayed about a year

                D      C                     G
Then he wrote a letter, and said, "I want to see ya"

               D                  C                   G
She thought he sounded better, so she sent him up the fare

       Em                 D     C              D
He was riding through the cane, in the pouring rain

     C          D       G    D
On McCafferty's, to her door

       C    G            D
To her door, to her door

       C
To her door,

                                  (G)
And his heart was singing like a lowdown guitar

G                 D      C                   G
  He came in on a Sunday, every muscle aching

                D      C
Walking in slow motion, like he'd just been hit

G                   D     C                  G
  Did they have a future?  Would he know his children?

                   D    C                 G
Could he make a picture, and get them all, get them all to fit?

       Em             D     C                  D
He was shaking in his seat, riding through the streets

     C         D
In a Silver Top, to her

Em             D     C                  D
Shaking in his seat, riding through the streets

     C              D           G    D
In a Silver Top taxicab, to her door

       C    G            D
To her door, to her door

       C
To her door
