[Cadd9] / [Am]
[G7sus4] / [Cadd2]
[Cadd9]Grandpa, here's your [Am]coffee,
[Cadd9]Said Edith, as she filled [Am]his cup.
[Cadd9]Nobody'll find you [Am]here,
[G7sus4]And Earl is glad you guys [Cadd2]showed up.
[Cadd9]The way things are [Am]downtown,
[Cadd9]You might have to stay for [Am]a while,
[Cadd9]There was a helicopter hovering over [Am]your house
[G7sus4]When I talked to your neighbor [Cadd2]Kyle.
[Cadd9]Who the hell do they think they [Am]are,
[Cadd9]Invading our home like [Am]that?
[Cadd9]Grandma and I had to leave so [Am]fast,
[G7sus4]We couldn't even catch the [Cadd2]cat.
[Cadd9]The helicopter scared the shit out [Am]of him,
[Cadd9]And it took off down the [Am]trail,
[Cadd9]Down past the railroad [Am]track,
[G7sus4]Towards the county [Cadd2]jail.
[BRIDGE 1]
[Cadd9] / [Am] (x3)
[G7sus4] / [Cadd2]
[Cadd9]Jed, you really screwed up [Am]now!
[Cadd9]What did you have to do that [Am]for?
[Cadd9]Everybody wants to hang your [Am]ass,
[G7sus4]And here's a note from [Cadd2]Lenore.
[Cadd9]Sun touched the cold [Am]steel bars
[Cadd9]As she pushed the paper [Am]in.
[Cadd9]Jed took it up and read [Am]it
[G7sus4]And he couldn't hide a [Cadd2]grin.
[Cadd9]Outside the jail [Am]window
[Cadd9]A crow flew across [Am]the sky,
[Cadd9]Completely disappearing behind [Am]each bar,
[G7sus4]Then a helicopter flew [Cadd2]by.
[Cadd9]Say hi to Earl and Edith.[Am]
[Cadd9]Tell 'em I'm doing fine. [Am]
[Cadd9]Tell 'em you're ready to [Am]leave home now,
[G7sus4]They should cut the [Cadd2]line.
[Cadd9]Can Grandma come and see [Am]me?
[Cadd9]I got a new song to [Am]sing
[Cadd9]It's longer than all the others [Am]combined
[G7sus4]And it doesn't mean a [Cadd2]thing.
BRIDGE 2: (x2)
[Cadd9] / [Am]
[G7sus4] / [Cadd2]
[Cadd9]The noise was un[Am]familiar,
[Cadd9]Walkie-talkies sq[Am]uelled,
[Cadd9]Generators were [Am]running,
[G7sus4]Vans parked in the [Cadd2]field.
[Cadd9]TV crews and cam[Am]eras,
[Cadd9]They wanted to interview Grandpa [Am]on the porch.
[Cadd9]They came through the gate and up [Am]on the lawn
[G7sus4]Knocking down Edith's [Cadd2]Tiki Torch.
[Cadd9]And Grandpa saw them [Am]there,
[Cadd9]Looking through the venet[Am]ian blind.
[Cadd9]Those people don't have any [Am]respect,
[G7sus4]So they won't get any of [Cadd2]mine.
[Cadd9]I ain't wanna talk about [Am]Jed.
[Cadd9]I don't watch channel 2 or 6 or [Am]9.
[Cadd9]I don't have time to talk that [Am]fast,
[G7sus4]And it ain't my [Cadd2]crime.
[Cadd9]It ain't an honor to be on [Am]TV
[Cadd9]And it ain't a duty ei[Am]ther.
[Cadd9]The only good thing about [Am]TV
[G7sus4]Is shows like 'Leave it to [Cadd2]Beaver'.
[Cadd9]Shows with love and [Am]affection,
[Cadd9]Like Mama used to [Am]say.
[Cadd9]A little Mayberry [Am]living
[G7sus4]Could go a long [Cadd2]way.
[Cadd9]He took Earl's gun down from the [Am]closet,
[Cadd9]Loaded up both barrels.[Am]
[Cadd9]Went out on the porch and fired [Am]'em off,
[G7sus4]And up walked a woman named [Cadd2]Carol.
[Cadd9]Susan Carol from Early [Am]Magazine,
[Cadd9]I got some questions to [Am]ask.
[Cadd9]Well you can stick 'em where the sun [Am]don't shine!
[G7sus4]Grandpa said with a [Cadd2]gasp.
[Cadd9]Then he fell face first and let out [Am]a sigh,
[Cadd9]Edith came out in [Am]shock.
[Cadd9]Grandpa was whispering to her from down [Am]on the floor,
[G7sus4]he looked like he was trying to [Cadd2]talk.
[Cadd9]That guy just keeps [Am]singin'!
[Cadd9]Can somebody shut him [Am]up?
[Cadd9]I don't know for the life [Am]of me
[G7sus4]Where he comes up with this [Cadd2]stuff.
BRIDGE 3: (x3)
[Cadd9] / [Am]
[G7sus4] / [Cadd2]
[Cadd9]They laid his head on a [Am]newspaper
[Cadd9]With a picture of Carmichael on the [Am]front page,
[Cadd9]Posing with the little league [Am]baseball team,
[G7sus4]And a seedy shot of Jed with [Cadd2]a motorcycle.
[Cadd9]Grandpa died like a [Am]hero,
[Cadd9]Fighting for freedom of [Am]silence,
[Cadd9]Trying to stop the [Am]media,
[G7sus4]Trying to be anon[Cadd2]ymous.
BRIDGE 4: (x2)
[Cadd9] / [Am]
[G7sus4] / [Cadd2]
[SOLO]
[Cadd9]Share your loving and [Am]you live so long
[Cadd9]Share your loving and [Am]you live so long
[Cadd9]Share your loving and [Am]you live so long
[G7sus4]Live so long [Cadd2]
