1. When it came to me one day in Jerksville,
Em
man,
I was right on the edge.
Em
That jacket’s too small for a
man of your size
Em
and
those socks are too big for your head.
C
G D
My eyes glaze at whatever you say,
C
G D
but I’m listening, do tell me
more !
C G
D
It goes under the bridge, right over my head,
C
G D - B7
and out through my portable door.

2. I was trapped in a dire situation
Em
between
reason and someone-in-law.
Em
The winner takes all and runs
off with the ball,
Em
and nothing
could pleasure me more.
C G D
Times were, I’d have spoken my piece,
C G
D
for a minute or two held the
floor.
C G D
But I can’t get a word in, so here I am hurtling
C
G
D - B7
right out through my portable door.

+ The jabbering’s hurting my brain cell so bad,
C G
D
for
once in my life I am bored.
C G
D
The public house beckons, I
follow the call
C
G D - B7
and
slip in through my portable door.

3. The unlikely event came upon me,
Em
I wasn’t prepared for the
shock.
Em
Once round my neck and twice
round the deck,
Em
and
the rest disappeared up the block.
C
G
D
So here we are and everything’s changed,
C G D
faster than ever before.
C G D
You gotta be jokin’,
man, what are you smoking,
C G
D - B7
blow it out through my portable
door !
