The Handsome Family – Heres Hopin (Guitar)

C5
Here's hopin' the food don't get cold

          E5
and the phone don't ring

C5
That thing has a habit

              E5
of suddenly changing things

F               Fm
Last time they called

                       Am
they were looking for you

F                 Fm
They're calling again

                Am   E
What am I gonna do?

C5
Sometimes that ol' mailman,

              E5
he carries a bag of tricks

C5
He once left me something

                  E5
that sure left me in a fix

F                 Fm
That letter said lots of things

              Am
that weren't true

F                  Fm
But everything's changed now,

               Am  E
and what can I do?

C5
Just like an old movie-star

            E5
jumps at a telegram

C5
The second he gets it,

                       E5
his brain hears those jail doors slam

F                   Fm
He'll get caught up in

              Am
an elaborate scam

F              Fm
with too many subplots

                 Am   E
to count on his hands
