       C               G/B       A7        D7       GAnd I had to call a carpenter to put them back a - gain,

      G                  G7                  C     G/B      A7 Your joists are full of dry - rot, but I'll put it all to rights!"
         C                      G/B           A7      D7        GThen he nailed right through a cable, ...and out went all the lights,
