INTRO:     Am    F      Am    F  Am  
It's not far, I can walk
FDown the block to Table Talk
CClose my eyes, make the pies all Gday
AmPlastic cap on my hair
I Fused to mind, now I don't care
I Cused to mind, now I don't care 'cause I'm Ggray
Did I show you this Fpicture of my Cnephew?
Taken at his Fbig birthday surCprise
At my Fsister's house last CSunday
This is GMonday and we're making pies
I'm making Dmpies, making Fpies, I-Chi hiG  F  
AmThursday nights I go and type
FDown the church with father Mike
It Cgets me out and he ain't hard to Glike at all
AmJesus stares at me in my chair with his
FBig blue eyes and his honey brown hair and he's
CLooking at me way up there on the Gwall
Did I show you this Fpicture of my Csweetheart?
Taken of Fus before the Cwar
Of the FGreek and his Italian Cgirl
One GSunday at the shore
We tied our Fribbons to the Cfire escape
They were Gtaken by the Fbirds
Who flew home to the Ccountry
As the Gbombs rained on the Fworld
Am5 a.m. here I am
FWalking the block to Table Talk
You could Ccry or die or just make pies all Gday
I'm making Dmpies, making Fpies
I'm making Dmpies, making FpiesC  G  F  C  G  Am  G  F  Am

Patty Griffin - Making Pies

Am F Am F Am

INTRO:

It's not far, I can walk

Down the block to Table Talk

C G

Close my eyes, make the pies all day

Plastic cap on my hair

I used to mind, now I don't care

C G

I used to mind, now I don't care 'cause I'm gray

F C

Did I show you this picture of my nephew?

F C

Taken at his big birthday surprise

F C

At my sister's house last Sunday

This is Monday and we're making pies

Dm F C G F

I'm making pies, making pies, I-hi hi

Thursday nights I go and type

Down the church with father Mike

C G

It gets me out and he ain't hard to like at all

Jesus stares at me in my chair with his

Big blue eyes and his honey brown hair and he's

C G

Looking at me way up there on the wall

F C

Did I show you this picture of my sweetheart?

F C

Taken of us before the war

F C

Of the Greek and his Italian girl

One Sunday at the shore

F C

We tied our ribbons to the fire escape

G F

They were taken by the birds

Who flew home to the country

G F

As the bombs rained on the world

5 a.m. here I am

Walking the block to Table Talk

C G

You could cry or die or just make pies all day

Dm F

I'm making pies, making pies

Dm F C G F C G Am G F Am

I'm making pies, making pies
