[C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ [A] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I [Am] was of [C] poor _ _ [Am] folk, but my mother had a rabbit fur [D] _ coat
[A] _
Then a [G] girl of less character [C] pushed her [E] down the LA river
_ [C] And over [G] that rabbit [E] [C] fur coat
_ [Am] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _
She [C] put a _ [A] knife to her [C] _ throat _
[C] And over [A] that rabbit fur _ coat _
When [G] my mama _ refused, the girl [C] kicked dirt on her [Am] blouse
Stay [C] away from [G] my [C] mansion _ [A] house _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[C] My mother [A] really suffered [C] for _ _ [A] that
[C] Spent her life in [A] a gold [D]-plated body [A] _ cast
[G] Now you ask, did [C] she get that girl [A] back?
She [C] paid a visit to [G] that _ [C] mansion _ _ [A] house _
_ _ _ [Am] _ She [C] knew the girl [A] _ was [C] not _ _ [Am] there
But [C] her father [A] was in cufflinks [D] with slicked-back [A] black hair
[G] He invited her and they never [C] _ sang [A] the note
But [C] she took off [G] that rabbit fur _ [Am] coat _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[C] And who do [Am] you think came home? _ _
_ _ Miss So [A]-and-so
_ _ [E] She [G] took one look at my mind
[C] What did she [Am] say?
[C] Why are you stealing from [G] our mansion [C] _ _ [E] house? _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Am] _ No, [C] I'm in love [A] with Mr.
So [C]-and _ [A]-so
He _ _
[C] _ invited [A] me in, I'm a girl no more _
[G] Then she dragged my [C] ma out by [Am] her throat
[C] And over [G] that [A] rabbit [C] fur _ coat _ _
_ _ _ _ _
[C] Let's move [Am] ahead twenty [C] years, shall [Am] we?
She was waitressing on welfare, we [D] were living in the [A] valley
A [G] lady says to my ma, you treat your [C] girl as your [A] spouse
[C] You can live in [G] a mansion _ _ [A] house
_ [C] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[C] _ And [E] so we _ [A] did _
[C] And I became [A] a hundred thousand dollar [Am] kid
When [G] I was old enough to realize
[C] Wipe the dust from my mother's _ _ eyes _ _
_ Is all this for [G] that [A] rabbit [C] fur _ [Am] coat?
_ _ [C] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [C] But I'm [A] not bitter [C] about _
[Am] it
I packed up my things and [A] let them have at it
[G] And the fortune faded, as [C] fortunes [Am] often do
[C] And so did [G] that _ [C] mansion house
[A] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [C] Where my ma [A] is now, I [C] don't know
[Am] _ _ [C] She was living in [E] her car, I [D] was living on [A] the road
[G] And I hear she's putting that [C] stuff up her nose
And still wearing [G] that [A] rabbit [C] fur [A] coat
_ _ [C] _ _ _
[E] _ _ [C] But mostly [E] I'm a _ [C] _
hypocrite
[E] _ I [C] sing songs [Am] about the [D] deficit _
_ [A] _ But [G] when I sell out and leave home, [C] what will I get? _ _ _
_ _ A mansion house and [G] a [A] rabbit [F#] fur [C] coat _ _ _
