Jimmie's Chicken Shack

VERSE 1:
C#m                  A                                                             C#m
She want a string of pearls, All I got her was a necklace made of flowers from the trash can
C#m               A                                                        F#
She wanna make me pay for it, Yeah while I'm at it guess I'll take another bath man
F#                   A                        F#
And the records out,   holding steady gaining on last place
F#                A                             C#m             A         C#m           A  C#m
And in a moment's notice we'll be ready for the next new phase,  (another stupid craze)

VERSE 2:
C#m                  A                                                             C#m
She want a string of pearls, All I got her was a necklace made of flowers from the trash can
C#m                 A                                                        F#
She's gonna make me pay for it, I start to sing and cry and then it makes me laugh man
F#                         A                                F#
Yeah we've all got doubts,   Might not be winning but still in the race
F#                A                             F#
And in a moment's notice we'll be ready for her next new face
F#                  A                    F#
It might be hard to sell, Still never in giving
F#               A
Have I given, so   deep, oh well

INTERLUDE:
C#m                                           A
Will you give it all to me when you're dead?
A                                                  C#m                    A
You can keep the scent on my pillow to settle your broken heart and head
C#m                                 A
Will you think of me when you die?
A                                                       C#m            A
Holding steady, Moment's notice, Again she left with my heart in hand

BRIDGE:
B                     A                         B
She says she hates me,  Yeah she's lied before
B                                   A                                  B
Again it's time to play me, Yeah it just adds up that same sad melodic score
B                    A                       B
I wrote another one,   Does this one count?
B                                  A
And did it cost as much as all the other ones?
        C#m           A             C#m           A     C#m
So much more, so much more, so much more, so much more

VERSE 3:
C#m                  A                                                             C#m
She want a string of pearls, All I got her was a necklace made of flowers from the trash can
C#m               A                                                        F#
She wanna make me pay for it, Yeah while I'm at it guess I'll take another bath man
F#                    A                        F#
Yeah the records out,   holding steady gaining on last place
F#                A                             C#m            A      C#m           A  C#m
And in a moment's notice we'll be ready for her next new face,   So I state my case

OUTRO:
C#m                        A        C#m   (x3)

'Cause all I got you was a necklace made of flowers, made of flowers from a trash can
C#m                      A                   C#m

She want a string of pearls
