[F#m] What do what don't they boss?
[E] [A] [E] [B]
[E] Oh
There's a wedding in the chapel.
[A] The bride is oh so [E] happy daddy's got a shotgun in [B] his [E] hand
The groom is sweating bullets.
[A] It's the priest step to [E] the pulpit.
He's about to make this boy into man
Jesus in the garden
[A] [E] Which you really don't [B] know what he's done
You [E] better like the church door taxes.
[A] That's the slightest crack of [E] light that boy is gonna hit the ground and run
[B] He's gonna run
[E]
He's gonna fly
He's out the door and down the [F#] street
And he won't [B] say goodbye
[E] Diapers and [A] diatribes, giving daddy [E] on the run
That boy's gonna hit the ground and run
Why is it the lovin' or the [A] tuggin'?
Put him on Nancy's [E] oven
She's praying she's not starting this show
But the wedding's set for April
[A] She's known since [E] November she got hell's chance of a ball of snow What?
Jesus in the garden
[A] Won't scrap that boy a pardon
[E] Which you really don't know what he's done
You better like the church door taxes
[A] That's the slightest crack of light
[E] That boy is gonna hit the ground and run
[B] He's gonna run
He's [E] gonna fly
He's out the door and down the [F#] street
And he won't [E] say goodbye
Diapers and [A] diatribes
Giving daddy [E] on the run
That boy's gonna hit the ground and run
[B] [Em] [E]
What [F#] [Bm]
[E] [G] [E]
in the Lord's name was he thinking?
[A] He can't clean this hole I'm drinking
[E] He can't count the family teeth upon one hand
By midnight he was muddled
[A] Or a gene pool is a puddle
[E] Now he might be the daddy of his own
Sweet Jesus in the garden
[A] Won't scrap this boy a [E] pardon
Which you really don't know [B] what he's done
[E] You better like the church door taxes
[A] That's the slightest [E] crack of light
That boy's gonna hit the ground and run
He's [B] gonna run
He's [E] gonna fly
He's out the door and down the [F#] street
And he won't [E] say goodbye
Diapers and [A] diatribes
Giving daddy [E] on the run
That boy's gonna hit the ground and run
He's [B] gonna run
[E] He's gonna fly
He's out the door and down the [F#] street
And he won't [B] say goodbye
[E] Diapers and [A] diatribes
[E] That boy's gonna hit the ground and run.
That boy's gonna hit the ground and run.
That boy's gonna hit the ground and run.
