[Intro]

C C


[Verse 1]

C C
I saw you at the railway station
Am Am
there had been a cancelation
Dm Dm G G
you were smoking cigarettes alone
C C Am Am
I walked up and said hello, I lost my wife two days ago
Dm Dm G G C C
You shook my hand and said Francis was your name


[Chorus 1]

F F G G
And you had a hat
C C Am Am
And I had a hat
F F G G
Mmm, we both had hats
F F G G
And my wife was dead
Am Am D7 D7
And your wife was dead
F F G G C C
Shit happens, Francis said


[Verse 2]

C C
Francis said it's five o'clock
Am Am Dm Dm G G
How about we find a rock and throw at some cars from the bridge
C C
I laughed and said that sounds like fun
Am Am
We walked into the setting sun
Dm Dm G G C C
And Francis said "I'm aiming at the kids"


[Chorus 2]

F F G G
And he threw a rock
C C Am Am
So I threw a rock
F F G G
We both put some gravel in a sock
F F G G Am Am D7 D7
And he threw the sock, I said we should stop
F F G G C C
He smiled at me, then threw a rock in a sock


[Verse 3]

C C
We snuck down to the local farm
Am Am
And there we opened up the barn
Dm Dm G G
To set the horses free and watch them run
C C
The moon was extra bright that night
Am Am
The horses in the pale moonlight
Dm Dm G G C C
"Watch this" Francis said, and pulled his gun


[Chorus 3]

F F G G
And he shot a horse
C C Am Am
So I shot a horse
F F G G
Francis choked a chicken with his hands
F F G G Am Am D7 D7
But watching them die, he started to cry
F F G G C C
"I'm bored" Francis said, let's steal a car


[Bridge]

G G
Oh, Margaret, Oh Margaret
F F C C
Don't you worry bout' me now
Am Am F F C C
I'm doing just fine on my own
G G F F C C
There are other things to life than your soft skin against mine
F F Am Am
And Francis is helping me move on
G G C C
I'm moving on


[Verse 4]

C C
Life's a bitch, a wise man said
Am Am
No matter what, you end up dead
Dm Dm G G
And all that you can wish for is a friend
C C
So pour another glass of wine
Am Am
With Francis shoulder touching mine
Dm Dm G G C C
I 'll stay right here until the bitter end


[Chorus 4]

F F G G
And you have a hat
C C Am Am
And I have a hat
F F G G
Mmm, we both have hats
F F G G
And your wife is dead
Am Am D7 D7
And my wife is dead
F F G G Am Am
Here's to life, Francis said
F F G G Am Am
Here's to life, Francis said
F F G G C C
Here's to life, Francis said
