[Bbm] [E] [Db] [Em] [A]
[Bb] Nothing ever happens in this [Ab] town, feeling low down.
I've got a lot to do [Db] around here.
I thought that I would go right out of my [Bb] mind and tell a friend,
Go meet the new cheap city.
You know, the big [Ab] and locked ride, beside the gas station,
where somebody [Bb] bought it.
And on the spot, I'm gonna build a shop where we can go buy
corpse-ish roots instead.
I've been walking out [Ab] of here.
I can barely breathe.
I'm gonna [Bb] keep working on my hair, cause I'm so tired.
And I really don't care.
I've been [Eb] waiting [Bb] since last June.
For this day to finally [Ab] arrive.
I'm so happy, happy times.
I've put me a [Db] lot into getting it now.
I'm gonna be [Eb] inside, but I hope they open [F] soon.
I [Eb] can't [Bb] wait.
No, I [Eb] can't [F] wait.
[Eb] When they gonna [Bb] open up [Eb] that door.
[Gb] I'm [F] going, and I'm going, I'm [Bb] going, and I'm going to [Ab] the hardware store.
I'm going, [Db] and I'm going, [Eb] I'm going, and I'm [F] going to the hardware store.
[Bb] [Db] [E]
[Bbm] [E] [Bb] [Dbm] [Eb] [E]
[Bbm] [E] [Bb] Sleeping bag, I kept it [Ab] overnight, right in front of the store.
Then as soon as it was light, I pressed my nose,
I'm right up against the [Eb] glass, you know I had to be first [Bb] in line.
Gonna get me a flashlight and [Ab] a broom,
want a pair of pliers for every single [Db] room in my house.
Get the sax on, very, very [Eb] soon, one of them will be [Bb] all mine.
Everyday, day, walking out of the [Ab] house, oh, it's a third nose to go over my [Db] mouth.
Brand new soccer winter, there's a bumper up [Eb] south, all the rain out the [Bb] bank.
We've been doing the promotional [Ab] stuff, there's a great big purple sign out [Db] front
that says, everybody except the customer [Eb] will get a bulky hammer [F] free.
[Eb] I can't [Bb] wait.
No, [Eb] I can't wait.
[F] They say [Eb] that they're gonna [Bb] open the [Eb] back door.
[Gb] I'm [Db] going, and I'm [Bb] going, I'm going, and I'm going to the [Ab] hardware store.

[Eb] [Bbm] They got allumetrics, and thermal feeders, hard-linked [Ab] electric meters,
trash can packages, and trash cans, power lines, and [Db] modern meters.
Wacky, cocky, copper wires, safety goggles, [Eb] radio wires, TV, power, power,
mouse pads, and [Bbm] dehumidifier, picture makers, paper cutters, waffle irons,
