AmYour autograph is wortFhless
so don't send me lCetters

'cause your money is no goAmod
What's left in your maFtress

some hair from a hoGrse,
and none of it is youDmrs, man

Capo 3

C F

Intro:

Am F

Don't blame your daughter

that's just sentimental

and don't blame your mom

for all that you've done wrong

Your dad is not guilty

you came out a little faulty

and the factory closed

so you can't hold them liable

F C

You come from an island,

G Dm

you're cutting diamonds

F C

with a rubbery knife

Am F

Your autograph is worthless

so don't send me letters

and don't mail me cash

'cause your money is no good

What's left in your matress

is holes and lack of love left

some hair from a horse,

and none of it is yours, man

F C

You come from an island,

G Dm

you're cutting diamonds

F C

with a rubbery knife

F C G

And the song you sing today

C F

wasn't always in your head,

F C G

the words you tryin' to say

C F

are the ones you shouldn't have said

Dm Am

they're glistenin' like diamonds,

Dm Am

go out and find' em

F C Dm F

but don't blame your daughter

Am F

Read me your tombstone,

C G

tell me you're sorry, fax me your will,

you owe me something still

Blood is like water

the bath that you poured me

has drained and it's gone,

don't blame it on your son

F C G

And the song you sing today

C F

wasn't always in your head,

F C G

the words you tryin' to say

C F

are the ones you shouldn't have said

Dm Am

they're glistening like diamonds,

Dm Am

go out and find'em

F C G
