GI waited for those men to leaveD  
And I sEmaw something on the roofC  
GI got up on the trashbin and fenceD  
And I walked sEmoftly with my bootsC

It now Emhangs inside my houseC  
GA dusty picture, made of D2 inch plaster
Of a woEmman on a horseC  
I'll Gshow it to my grandkidsD  
And I'll Emtell the story plainC  
Of the dGay they closed Big Daddy's downD  
And thCis is whaDt I'll saGy.
GThere's a woman there with her head bentD  
She's on a Emhorse, and it's getting hotterC  
GShe's walking through those skulls and cactusD  
In seEmarch of food and waCter
Well she's Glost her way in that old plasterD  
But she'll Emfind it when she dCies
At GBig Daddy's up in heavenD  
CBurgers, sDhakes and frGies

[INTRO]

G D Em C

[VERSE]

G D

I waited for those men to leave

Em C

And I saw something on the roof

G D

I got up on the trashbin and fence

Em C

And I walked softly with my boots

G D

It was there I found my keepsake

Em C

It now hangs inside my house

G D

A dusty picture, made of 2 inch plaster

Em C

Of a woman on a horse

G D

I'll show it to my grandkids

Em C

And I'll tell the story plain

G D

Of the day they closed Big Daddy's down

C D G

And this is what I'll say.

G D

There's a woman there with her head bent

Em C

She's on a horse, and it's getting hotter

G D

She's walking through those skulls and cactus

Em C

In search of food and water

G D

Well she's lost her way in that old plaster

Em C

But she'll find it when she dies

G D

At Big Daddy's up in heaven

C D G

Burgers, shakes and fries

[CHORUS]

G D

They're closing down Big Daddy's

Em C

At least that's what I hear

[OUTRO]

G D Em C
