Version from album of the same name. Lyrics taken from record inner sleeve.
Strumming pattern isn't super complicated; just listen to the song a couple times.
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D What I did on my vacation Bm A For the last ten years D Took pictures of your town Bm A Plaid perfume on my breath G A I mean I've been drinking Scotch G E While touring through your town
[Verse 2]
D Adultery makes you give things away Bm A It gets you confused D Adultery takes a one-room vacation Bm A Then it gets you alone G A Turns it into a honeymoon scream G E Then you have to change the sheets
[Chorus]
G B C B C Smoke in one hand looking for a light Em Martini in the other hand A Pointing at midnight
D
[Verse 3]
D Now that you pulled the school underwater Bm A And drowned the prom D Which man will you save for this Friday Bm A You can put him in a fish pond G A And watch him swim around G E Then have a Catholic dinner
[Verse 4]
D If it isn't men it's death Bm A It's the same Old Testament D At the cross her station keeping Bm A Stood the mournful mother weeping G A Where my man extended hung G E Driven with nails to wood
[Chorus 2]
G B C B C Smoke in one hand looking for a drink Em Drink in the other hand A Pointing at midnight
D
[Verse 5]
D At my desk as you're sleeping Bm A As the big deal of death D Kills me and starts leaving Bm A Everybody asks me how I'm doing G A I'm doing everything alone G E Rave on children and try to sleep
[Verse 6]
D Larks must sing grave deep melodies Bm A Happy they that die D The sly brown fox pulled up a glass Bm A Pulled up a chair G A And yanked out my hair G A When I tried to sit I fell down G E When I woke up he was gone
[Chorus 3]
G B C B C So one has a smoke, one has a drink Em The man is gone, Mary's dead A Good morning midnight
D
(repeat till end)
