Tom: E

E                           B  
I couldn't hear you for the tv
                         E
I didn't know you said goodbye
                                    A                                                         
I saw your cancelled check for the airfare
                        B
didn't know flyin' got too high

                         B
Beans for breakfast once again
                         E
hard to eat 'em from the can
                       A
I've run out of clean utensils
               B             E
I'm a hungry, nasty lonesome man

E                           B  
I heard the crows outside my window
                               E
guess it's me they're talkin' about
                                A  
The fire you lit has burnt to cinders
                           B
every good thing's fizzled out

                         B
Beans for breakfast once again
                         E
hard to eat 'em from the can
                                   A
Wish you'd come back and wash the dishes
               B             E
I'm a hungry, nasty lonesome man

E                             B  
Caught a cold with the window open
                             E
crow droppings on my window sill
                      A        
Probably got histoplasmosis
                        B
got no gun or I would kill them crows

                         B

                         E
hard to eat 'em from the can
                            A
Plastic forks are a dime a dozen
               B             E
I'm a hungry, nasty lonesome man

E                           B  
Finally made it to the mailbox
                      E
felt so bad I thought I'd die
                              A   
All I got was a bill from my doctor
                        B
well I guess flyin' ain't so high

                         B
Beans for breakfast once again
                         E
hard to eat 'em from the can
                              A
Blue tick mattress cold and greasy
               B             E
I'm a hungry, nasty lonesome man

                  E
The house burned down from the fire that I built
         A
In your closet by mistake after I took all them pills
     B
But I got out safe in my duck head overalls

                         B
Beans for breakfast once again
                             E
I'm a hungry, nasty lonesome man
