Last December I met a girl, she took a likin’ to me
G#m7 C#
Said she loved me, but she didn’t know the meanin’ of the word
C# C#m9 Emaj7
She imagined love to be grand, me holdin’ her hand and
B G#m7 C#
Wisperin’ sweet things and, cooin’ softly like a songbird
C# C#m9 Emaj7
Then one mornin’ she came to me, with a tear in her eye and a
B G#m7 C#
Sigh on her breath Lord she said, "Hon, I’m heavy with child"
C# C#m9 Emaj7
I said "God damn girl can’t you see, that I’m breakin’ my back
B G#m7 C#
Just tryin’ to keep my head above water, and it’s turnin’ me wild

Rockin’ chair on the front porch, and I’m thinkin’ about all the
G#m7 C#
things that I did as a young man, now that I’m old
C# C#m9 Emaj7 B
I remember her and the boy, did he have all the toys and the joys
G#m7 C#
That a young man should have, before he gets too old
C# F# G# C#
Cinderella couldn’t you see, I didn’t want your company
C# F# G#

away
