G                D    C               GThey got married early,  never had no money,
(G)              D       C                      GThen when he got laid off,  they really hit the skids,
(G)               D        C                   GHe started up his drinking,  then they started fighting,
(G)               D    C                    GHe took it pretty badly,  she took both the kids,
(G)        Em               D       C                DShe said: "I'm not standing by,  to watch you slowly die,
            C      D          G     DSo watch me walking,  out the door,
(D)     C   G              D Out the door,  out the door, 
CShe said "Shove it, Jack, you don't do that to a fucking girl!"

G               D        C               GShe went to her brother's,  got a little bar work,
(G)            D      C                    GHe went to the buttery,  he stayed about a year,
(G)             D     C                   GThen he wrote a letter,  he said I want to see you,
(G)                    D     C                      GShe thought he sounded better,  she sent him up the fare,
(G)    Em                 D     C              DHe was riding through the cane, in the pouring rain,
(D)   C   D         G     DOn Olympic,  to her door.
(D)    C   G              D        C     GTo her door,  to her door,  to her door.

G               D     C               GHe came in on a Sunday,  every muscle aching,
(G)             D     C                      GWalking in slow motion,  like he'd just been hit,
(G)             D     C                    GDid they have a future?  Would he know his children?
(G)             D      C                     GCould he make a picture  and get them all to fit?
(G)    Em             D     C                  DHe was shaking in his seat, riding through the streets,
(D)   C       D  In a silvertop,  to her,
Em             D     C                  DShaking in his seat, riding through the streets,
(D)  C        D        G     DIn a silvertop,  to her door.
(D)    C   G             D         C      GTo her door,  to her door,  to her door.
