        Вступление

Version from album of the same name.  Lyrics taken from record inner sleeve.

Strumming pattern isn't super complicated; just listen to the song a couple times.


[Intro]
D

[Verse 1]
D
What I did on my vacation
        Bm             A
For the last ten years
D
Took pictures of your town
              Bm           A
Plaid perfume on my breath
  G                        A
I mean I've been drinking Scotch
G              E
While touring through your town

[Verse 2]
D
Adultery makes you give things away
        Bm           A
It gets you confused
D
Adultery takes a one-room vacation
        Bm             A
Then it gets you alone
          G                A
Turns it into a honeymoon scream
G                 E
Then you have to change the sheets

[Chorus]
G                                     B C   B C
Smoke in one hand looking for a light
Em
Martini in the other hand
A
Pointing at midnight

D

[Verse 3]
D
Now that you pulled the school underwater
     Bm              A
And drowned the prom
D
Which man will you save for this Friday
        Bm                      A
You can put him in a fish pond
G                    A
And watch him swim around
G            E
Then have a Catholic dinner

[Verse 4]
D
If it isn't men it's death
                   Bm       A
It's the same Old Testament
D
At the cross her station keeping
                   Bm             A
Stood the mournful mother weeping
         G            A
Where my man extended hung
G           E
Driven with nails to wood

[Chorus 2]
G                                     B C   B C
Smoke in one hand looking for a drink
Em
Drink in the other hand
A
Pointing at midnight

D

[Verse 5]
D
At my desk as you're sleeping
       Bm                A
As the big deal of death
D
Kills me and starts leaving
                  Bm             A
Everybody asks me how I'm doing
           G          A
I'm doing everything alone
G                     E
Rave on children and try to sleep

[Verse 6]
D
Larks must sing grave deep melodies
      Bm            A
Happy they that die
    D
The sly brown fox pulled up a glass
       Bm          A
Pulled up a chair
     G            A
And yanked out my hair
        G                   A
When I tried to sit I fell down
G              E
When I woke up he was gone

[Chorus 3]
G                                   B C   B C
So one has a smoke, one has a drink
    Em
The man is gone, Mary's dead
A
Good morning midnight


D 

(repeat till end)
