# verse 1

                 D     C             G
They got married early, never had no money,

                 D        C                    G
Then when he got laid off, they really hit the skids,

                  D        C                  G
He started up his drinking, then they started fighting,

                  D     C                  G
He took it pretty badly, she took both the kids,

         Em               D      C                D
She said I'm not standing by, to watch you slowly die,

            C       D        G     D
So watch me walking, out the door,

        C     G       
Out the door, 
              D 
out the door,
        C     G
out the door.

# verse 2

                D         C             G
She went to her brother's, got a little bar work,
               D       C               G
He went to the buttery, stayed about a year,
                D      C               G
Then he wrote a letter, said I want to see you,
                       D      C                    G
She thought he sounded better, she sent him up the fare,
       Em                 D     C              D
He was riding through the cane, in the pouring rain,
   C       D       G     D
On Olympic, to her door,
       C     G
to her door,
             D
to her door,
       C     G
to her door.

# verse 3 

                D      C             G              
He came in on a Sunday, every muscle aching,
                D      C                    G
Walking in slow motion, like he'd just been hit,
                D      C                  G
Did they have a future? Would he know his children?
                D      C                    G 
Could he make a picture and get them all to fit?
       Em             D     C                  D
He was shaking in his seat, riding through the streets,
     C        D       
In a silvertop to her,
Em             D     C                  D
shaking in his seat, riding through the streets,
     C        D       G     D
In a silvertop to her door,
       C     G
to her door,
             D
to her door,
       C     G
to her door.
