             Em7              Bm7
Hello Johnson,  your mother once

            Am7 D7        Gmaj7
Gave me a lift  back from school

                       D7/F#     Gmaj7 D7/F# C/E
That's no reason to get     so excited

                         Em7             Bm7
I'd been playing football   with the youngsters

Am7     D7         Gmaj7
Johnson says don't dramatize

                        D7/F# Gmaj7   D7/F# C/E
And you can't even spell     salacious

                    Em7              Bm7
In a caravette with such a pretty widow,

    Am7           D7          Gmaj7
But wheels aren't there to be looked at.

                          D7/F#        Gmaj7   D F
And it's cheap to say that     she's delicious

           F/G
When she's someone's daughter
[Chorus]
C/E                 Cdim7          Ebdim7
   Horse chimes, so stupid and so mean

Gmaj7         C#dim7     Bm7                D7*
   On the offensive, all wolf whistle and jeans

C/E                   Cdim7               Ebdim7
   Horse chimes, they neigh, they never bell

Gmaj7             C#dim7     Bm7            Bm7 Bbm7
   All straw and piss,  they never kiss but tell

Cm7      F9     F/C
   Horse chimes

Fmaj7     F#maj7    Bbmaj7 C
   Coarse times are here
[Post-chorus]
Bbmaj7         Am7#5
   And don't I know it

Ab     Cm     G7sus4 G7
   And I'm ashamed

Fmaj7            C/E
   And you won't say it

D                  Dm/C
   That we're to blame

D7/F#*        Cmaj7/E
   And I must change
G D7/F# C/E [Verse 2]
                 Em7            Bm7
There is a saying   tailor made for her

          Am7      D7       Gmaj7
She is the   apple of your eye

                         D7/F#      Gmaj7    D7/F# C/E
Lord don't smother her in     soapy feelings

                  Em7          Bm7
You buy a pedestal   only to rest it

Am7  D7   Gmaj7
In a wheelchair

                      D7/F#          Gmaj7 D7/F# C/E
Beauty can't be beauty    'till it's dying

                        Em7       Bm7
And I think I'll die un -  less I kiss you

Am7          D7      Gmaj7
Please don't murder me

                         D7/F#        Gmaj7   D F
Hark, I hear the ghost of     feeling leaving

          F/G
And you know what pushed her
[Chorus]
