The Rub Chords by Delbert Mcclinton

[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I know how much you hate to get up in the morning, but somebody's got to make a move.
There's a parking lot full of police outside and they all ask for you.
_ [Em] _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ He said I might mislead you, but I would never lie to you.
And I said, well, hell, that's the way it ought to be.
He said, I never shot him.
He shot himself while he was shooting at me. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And there's a pitchfork sticking through the roof of the car and both the headlights have busted out.
Now these people say they saw you running away.
He said, hell, I was just going for help.
[A] I hope somebody's writing this down.
Let's get our story straight, boys, before we get back to town.
My guess is he just went insane [E] and tried to swim away with too much change.
_ [G#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ The doctor said I can fix that for you, but it's going to be a while.
So just go on and take a seat.
Try not to bleed on the carpet and pull the door shut when you leave.
[Em] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ [C#m] [E] Sing a song, write a massage therapist in the mind, said y'all might be needing a little help.
Now I'll drive your truck, but I don't live nothing and I'll groom all by myself.
[A] I hope somebody's writing this down.
Let's get our story straight, boys, before we get back to town.
Now all of y'all witnessed what I said [E] he done.
I hope it makes bail.
I love it when they run. _ _ _
