[Bm] Hey Mac, you'll never guess [D] what happened while you were away.
What's been happening to you started happening to me.
[Bm] I found your [D] old letter shoved [A] inside high tide and green grass [D] last night.
[G] And I hope you don't mind, [D] but I stole the opening line for [A] a song of mine.
And Mac, it's true, [G] if [D] I could write like you, I'm [A] sure sometimes I'd go a little cuckoo.
[D] [A] [Bm]
I know the winters are [D] hard in Maine, and your [A] song's about lobstermen.
Well, I know they don't [D] pay, [Bm]
but it's hard down [D] here too.
Trying to make a [A] living writing about snakes [D] and cockatoos.
[G] And it made me mad when they used [D] your song in that Volvo ad, [A] and you barely got a dime.
[F#m] I [G] said, Mac, it's not fair.
You [D] said, Walt, I really don't care.
[A] As you filled out your W -9,
[D]
[Em] I know your [D] Irish heart is strong.
And rich with [Em] rhymes and noble lines [D] from ancient songs.
[Em] But again it comes [D] undone, and the dumb rum [Em] just rots your gut [D] and twists your tongue.

[A] [D] Now with a marble in [G] my throat, I watch those [D] ferry boats.
[A] And button high my long black coat, cause the [G] season ends.
And [D] summer friends
[A] leave for the mainland.
Yeah, the [G] season ends, but old [D] dogs like us, my friend, [A] we ain't going nowhere, [F#m] man.
[A] Yeah, the [G] season ends, and [D] summer friends
