Tom: G
Cadd9 G
Honey put down that flyswatter
Cadd9 G
And pour me some ice water
Cadd9 G
And would you bring me my hammer
D
And could you find me some nails
C G
For soon I'll be going
Cadd9 G
To work for this living
Cadd9 G
And with you here to guide me
D G
Then I cannot fail
Cadd9 G
Cadd9 G
The morning it stumbles
Cadd9 G
Right in through the window
Cadd9 G
And this getting up early
D
Gets old anyway
C G
And if you listen close dear
Cadd9 G
The crying that you hear
Cadd9 G
Is the nighttime lamenting
D G
The start of the day
Cadd9 G
Cadd9 G
And it's hotter than concrete
Cadd9 G
In July in Houston
Cadd9 G
And it'll get worse here
D
Before it turns nice
C G
But old Tink's in the backyard
Cadd9 G
And I swear that boy's so smart
Cadd9 G
He's got everything ready
D G
So we'll be all right
Cadd9 G
Cadd9 G
So honey put down that flyswatter
Cadd9 G
And pour me some ice water
Cadd9 G
And though I'll soon be going
D
Well I haven't gone yet
C G
So come stand here beside me
Cadd9 G
And hold my hand gently
Cadd9 G
And tell me do you remember
D G
The first time we met
