[Am] [C]
[G] At last the kids are gone now for [D] the day
She [G] reaches for the [C] coffee [G] as the school bus [D] pulls away
[G] Another day to tend the house [D] and plant
[Em] For Friday at the [C] Legion when [G] she's dancing with her [D] man
[G] Sure was a bitter winter, [D] but Friday will be fine
[Em] And maybe last year's Easter dress [C] will serve her one more time
[G] She'd pass for twenty-nine, but for [D] her eyes
Hot [Am] winter lines [D] are telling [G] wicked lies
Oh,
[C] lies
[G] All those lines are telling wicked [D]
lies
[A]

[G] Too many lines there in that face
[A] Too many to erase or to [C] disguise
[D] They must be [G] telling lies

[C] [D] [C]
[G] this the face that won for her the [D] man?
Whose [Em] amazed and [C] clumsy fingers put [G] that ring upon [D] her hand?
[G] No need to search that mirror for the [D] years
The [Em] menace [C] in their message shouts [G] across the blur of [D] tears
[G] So this is beauty's finish, [D] like Ronan's baloneyere
[Em] The pretty maiden trapped inside [C] the ranch wife's toil and care
[G] Well, after seven kids, that's [D] no surprise
[Am] But why can not [D] her never tell [G] her lies?
Oh,
[C] [G] [C]
lies
All [G] those lines are telling [Am] wicked [D] lies
[A]
[Am] Lies, [C] oh, lies
Too [G] many lines there in that face
[A] Too many to erase or to [C] disguise
[D] There must be [G] telling lies
[D] Then
[Am] [G]
[C] [D] [C]
[G] she shakes off the bitter web she [D] wore
And [Em] turns to set [C] the mirror [G] gently face [C] down [D] by the stove
[G] She gathers up her apron in [D] her hand
[Em] Pours a cup [C] of coffee and drips [G] carnation [D] from her can
[G] And drinks ahead to Friday, [D] this Friday will be fine
[Em] She'll look up in that weathered [C] face that loves hers line for line
[G] To see that maiden shining [A] in [D]
his eyes
And [Am]
laugh at how [D] her never [G] tells her lies
Oh, [C] lies
[G] All those lines are telling [Am] wicked [D]
lies
[A]
[Am] Lies, [C] oh, lies
