Вступление
Version from album of the same name. Lyrics taken from record inner sleeve.
Strumming pattern isn't super complicated; just listen to the song a couple times.
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
What I did on my vacation
For the last ten years
Took pictures of your town
Plaid perfume on my breath
I mean I've been drinking Scotch
While touring through your town
[Verse 2]
Adultery makes you give things away
It gets you confused
Adultery takes a one-room vacation
Then it gets you alone
Turns it into a honeymoon scream
Then you have to change the sheets
[Chorus]
Smoke in one hand looking for a light
Martini in the other hand
Pointing at midnight
[Verse 3]
Now that you pulled the school underwater
And drowned the prom
Which man will you save for this Friday
You can put him in a fish pond
And watch him swim around
Then have a Catholic dinner
[Verse 4]
If it isn't men it's death
It's the same Old Testament
At the cross her station keeping
Stood the mournful mother weeping
Where my man extended hung
Driven with nails to wood
[Chorus 2]
Smoke in one hand looking for a drink
Drink in the other hand
Pointing at midnight
[Verse 5]
At my desk as you're sleeping
As the big deal of death
Kills me and starts leaving
Everybody asks me how I'm doing
I'm doing everything alone
Rave on children and try to sleep
[Verse 6]
Larks must sing grave deep melodies
Happy they that die
The sly brown fox pulled up a glass
Pulled up a chair
And yanked out my hair
When I tried to sit I fell down
When I woke up he was gone
[Chorus 3]
So one has a smoke, one has a drink
The man is gone, Mary's dead
Good morning midnight
(repeat till end)
