Jerry was a Clerk
Andy Shauf
Capo 1
[Verse]
B F# Em
Me and a couple friends, we had a big idea
C A
About getting money and getting out of here
Em C
We were wide-eyed dreamers of wealth
B F# Em
We were getting tired of killing time
C A
Filling up our heads with cheap wine
Em C
Jerry had a van so we could make our escape
[Chorus]
C A7sus4 A7
He would say, ‘boys our time has come
F Em Em7 C
To live among the privileged ones'
[Interlude]
Am Am7 C Am
[Verse]
B F# Em
Now it was Jerry’s plan but we all agreed
C A
Skip town and split the money up evenly
Em C
Lay low ’til the winter rolled in
B F# Em
He said ‘I know an old farmer doesn't trust the bank
C A
Keeps his money buried out behind his water tank
Em C
He told me once when he was out of his mind’
[Chorus]
C A7sus4 A7
Oh, boys our time has come
F Em Em7 C
To live among the privileged ones
[Interlude]
Am Am7 C Am
[Verse]
B F# Em
Now Jerry had a girl, the only one of us
C A
To ever have one last and so no questions asked
Em C
She’d be the fourth one involved
B F# Em
Her name was Mary-Anne and she was nice enough
C A
Always a cashier, only once in love
Em C
With Jerry - the dreamer and the clerk
[Chorus]
C A7sus4 A7
Who said, ‘boys our time has come
F Em Em7 C
To live among the privileged ones’
[Interlude]
Am Am7 C Am x2
[Verse]
B F# Em
So on that Friday night on which we all agreed
C A
We took our shovels and crept out carefully
Em C
Through the farmyard darker than sin
B F# Em
The plan went off without a hitch
C A
’Til we passed the chicken coop and Mary tripped
Em C
Turned the hens to sirens in the night
[Chorus]
C A7sus4 A7
And when the farmhouse lights turned on
F Em Em7 C
A warning shot rang out into the dawn
[Bridge]
Am C
And we ran like hell for Jerry’s van
Am C
But when we arrived we were only three
Am C
And while Jerry’s greed fed gas to the engine
Am C
His words showed us a coward we’d never seen
[Chorus]
C A7sus4 A7
As he said ‘Boys our time has come
F Em
We're gonna save ourselves and live among the privileged ones'
