Tom: C
[Intro] Dm C F C
Dm C G7 C
The local radio says sorry time to go
Dm C
But I don't sleep too well
G7 C
Where are those Southern Belles
G F
Trying to get a telephone line
Am G
through South Caroline
G F Am G
Your call may bring somebody down for miles around
Am Dm C
I'm watching her eyes again
G F Dm C (Dm C F C)
I won't use no fountain pen
Dm C
The lady isn't here.
G7 C
The message wasn't clear
Dm C G7 C
She left an hour ago, screamed from the floor below
G F Am G
Mother nature never gives in, she wants you to sing
G F Am G
But how can I go on just singing this song
Am Bb Dm C
My car's out of gas again
G F Dm C
Hurry home to see my friend
F Am Dm G C
Money won't help you to win a new look at things
F G Am Dm
Loving can bring you down, so you fall
G F Dm
Then why do you still try to get up at all
Am Bb Dm C
Your good and bad side showing through
G F Dm C (Dm C F C)
Problems are a part of you
Dm C G7 C
You must love someone else or face life by yourself
Dm C
You may expect a call
G7 C
She's waiting in the hall
G F Am G
See the garden grows and it grows nobody even knows
G F
And you can wear just any old thing
Am G
The show can begin
Am Dm C
I'm falling asleep to dream
G F Dm C (Dm C F C)
No more hills to climb, it seems
F Am Dm G C
Money won't help you to win a new look at things
F G Am Dm
You never give in so why don't you sing
G F Am G
But how can I go on just singing this song
Am Bb Dm C
My car's out of gas again
G F Dm C (G F Dm C)
I'll be home to see my friend
