[VERSE 1]
I can [C]see the kitchen [C7]light
From the [F]road where I park my [F]bike
But it's [C]dark there as it [C]often is these [G7]days [G7]
And the [C]gloomy living [C7]room
Really [F]needs a dust and [F]broom
But [C]I can't brush your [G7]memory away [C]
[One bar of G7 after verses 1 & 3; one bar of C7 after verses 2 & 4]
[VERSE 2]
Her father was an admiral
In someone else's navy
And she had seen the world before I met her
She would wash and cook and clean
And all the other things between
And like a fool I just sat there and let her
[CHORUS 1]
Now I can [F]feed and dress and [F]wash myself
And [C]sleep without the [F]light on
[C]Honey, I'm a [C]big boy [G7]now [G7]
I [C]don't know what she doe[C7]s
With all the [F]money that I [F]send her
She's [C]running 'round the t[G7]own with the young pre[C]tender
[VERSE 3]
I haven't touched the garden
Since the day she walked away
From a love affair that bore only bitter fruit
She took everything she wanted
Which is why she left me here
With these pots and pans and my old wedding suit
[VERSE 4]
A letter came one morning
That she would not let me see
And from that day I began to realize
That she would one day break
The home we tried to make
For sinners cannot live in paradise
[CHORUS 2]
Now I can feed and dress and wash myself
And sleep without the light on
Honey, I'm a big boy now
I don't know what she does
With all the money that I send her
She's running 'round the town with the young pretender
[one bar of G7]
I [C]don't know what she [C7]does
With all the [F]money that I [F]send her
She's [C]running 'round the t[G7]own with the young pre-[F]tender [C]
I can [C]see the kitchen [C7]light
From the [F]road where I park my [F]bike
But it's [C]dark there as it [C]often is these [G7]days [G7]
And the [C]gloomy living [C7]room
Really [F]needs a dust and [F]broom
