Intro: F C F C

Verse 1:
F
The good people built those houses with their hands
    C
And taught their daughters to play on tin drum sets
         F
While an old man put a grandkid on the piano
                C
And they played chopsticks until their hands went dead
    F                                            C
And cats were thrown off the backs of trucks and ambled up the yard to us
        F                             C
Singin' all I want is a bed to lie in lovin' arms for me to die in
        Bb
And the garbage man took the cans he can with Mrs. Van Holzer
      C
If he wants to no he can't, no he can't 'cus he's a married man
       Bb
And if Mr. Van Holzer found out, with his short temper
              C
You know what he will do?
            F
And she was singing true but the garbage man's the only one can dance real blue
F
And pretty soon the fire trucks and ambulance were singing too

Chorus:
                 F   C
They were singin ooo...
                 F   C
They were singin ooo...

Verse 2:
                   F                             C
So if you move out west it's best to keep a very close eye on your kids and pets
    F
Cus big birds have been known to dive
                C
And carry those precious things to heavy heights
    F
And drop them in a field
          C                                             F
Where sad sisters all come down to kneel and hold their hands to their hearts
                   C
They've learned to lock all of the things they love up
               Bb
Yeah they were cryin
              C
They all were lyin in the fields
          Bb              C
They were singin from the places where they kneeled

Chorus:
C
Yeah they were singin
C
They were singin
                 F   C
They were singin ooo...
                 F   C
They were singin ooo...

Someone in my head said when all you have is land things
               C
with wings can present themselves as a pretty big damn threat
Bb                                         C
All you have is land things with wings can present themselves as a pretty big damn threat
     Bb                                            C
When all you have is land things with wings can present themselves as a pretty big damn threat
     Bb                                            C
When all you have is land things with wings can present themselves as a pretty big damn threat
        C
And the garbage men, and the ambulance
