1. The waitress with the orange hair

                                                               D

    keeps motionin' me to hurry up and leave.

              E

    So I gulp my coffee, burn my mouth, grab up my coat and slippin' out,

            E7                                                   A

    I smear a streak of mustard down my sleeve.

                   A

    And the guy behind the register takes my bread and shakes his head,

             A7                                                       D

    and looks at me as though I've blown his mind.

                       E

    Hey, I just come here for some coffee,

      - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -    A

    hope I'm not wastin' anybody's time. And ...

 

D                                         A

    Judy, I'm slowly movin' back to you,

           E                                                   A

and I wish that I could say I'll treat you better than I used to.

       D                                              A

It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never knew back then,

E                                         A

    Judy, I'm slowly movin' back again.

E                                         A

    Judy, I'm slowly movin' back again.

2. That blue eyed barracuda smiles

                                                                              D

    and tells me she could use some brand new clothes.

               E

    She grabs my leg and with a wink, asks if I want another drink,

              E7                                                    A

    she's not the campfire girl you might suppose.

                           A

    But she's so busy tellin' me her troubles, I don't think she's got time

          A7                                          D

    for any kind of trouble small as mine.

                       E

    Hey, I just come in here for nothin',

      - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -    A

    hope I'm not wastin' anybody's time.

 

D                                         A

    Judy, I'm slowly movin' back to you,

           E                                                   A

and I wish that I could say I'll treat you better than I used to.

       D                                              A

It's just I'm learnin' lots of things I never knew back then,

E                                         A

    Judy, I'm slowly movin' back again.

E                                         A

    Judy, I'm slowly movin' back again.

3. Well, I'm stopped here on the corner,

                                                                           D

    when the red faced cop says, “Move along your way !”

              E

But my nose is cold and my toes are numb, I got no feeling in my thumb,

        E7                                                  A

    I think I just might stop inside that church and maybe pray.

                     A7

    But they pass the plate and they look at me

                                                           D

    when it turns out that I ain't got a dime.

                       E

    Hey, I just come in here to talk to God,

      - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -    A

    hope I'm not wastin' anybody's time.               +  CHORUS

 

   E                                         A

+     Judy, I'm slowly movin' back again. (2x) ...
