Hadlock Padlock
Kimya Dawson
A nice simple song, 4 basic chords.
On the second verse an extra C is added between the last D and G.
Sometimes playing with the backing something sounds different... not entirely wrong,
different. However stand alone these chords enable you to play this great song.
GI ran into Matlock at Chadlock padlock
GI said have you seen my Dlove?
GHe said he was over on CElkins road
GFace down in a Dpuddle of Gblood
GThen I ran into Blair Warner
CAt the chevron at four corners
GI said did you see him Ddie?
GShe said that was just a rumor
CSuper duper small town trumor
GHe was shipped off
To Dtreatment last Gnight
DWhat goes around don't come Caround not in this town
GSeven walls go up for every one Dwall that comes down
GAnd the old ladies pray they'll be Cyoung again someday
GDo your job you Ddirty slob or Cnobody gets Gpaid
GShe was standing on the dock Ctrying to hit the moon with rocks
GAlong came a man with his Dcock in his hand
GHe said what do you think? she said I Cthink you stink
Then she Gspit in his eye, Dsaid bye-bye, and
Cpushed him in the Gdrink
GThen she went to the pay shower and pumped Cquarters for an hour
GEven though she made it Dshe still felt violated
GWrapped the soap on a rope around her throat
CSaid dear God, I really hope you'll Glet me into heaven
'cause I'Dm only eleven and I've Cgot nowhere to Ggo
What Dgoes around don't come Caround not in this town
A Gsubway sandwich shop goes up and the Droller rink closed down
And the Gkids all pray that they'll Ceither get away
Or get a Gjob like Chad in Ddad's meth lab and Cbecome rich one Gday
GLittle David was learning to skate,he Cpracticed every single day
GKept falling and falling and falling but he Dfinally learned to ollie
He Gwondered who he'd tell, he Cthought he would tell Mel,
But GMel and all his Dother friends were Cin the county Gjail
Which is Gwhere I sent the letter that said Cthings are gonna get better
He said Gyou've got it all wrong, why'd you Dwrite this stupid song?
I said 'Gcause you're in my head even Cif you want me dead
Just beGcause I said exactly Dwhat I meant doesn't Cmean I meant what I Gsaid
What Dgoes around don't come aCround not in this town
You don't need Gkarmic retribution if you've Dgot good ammunition
And Gmama always prayed that Csomeday she'd get laid
By Gsome dumb fuck with a Dpickup truck and Creally good coGcaine
GPlease do me a favor when you Cgo to penny saver
Get a Ghalf-rack of lucky for the Dgirls,
Two Groast beef mighty bites, a Cpack of old gold lights,
And Gmeet us at the Dend of the CworldG  
I'll be Gstanding on the cliff with the Csunset in my eyes
I'll Gbe too insignificant to Dfeel the need to lie
I Gwonder if this climbing that you Ccity people do
Ever Gleads you to a Dplace with Csuch a pretty Gview
What Dif what goes around is just a Cnaked crying clown
And the Gclouds split down the middle and a Dmighty hand comes down
And we Gthink that we are saved but the Chand is made of clay
And my Gtears make messy Dmake up streaks Call over my Gface
What Dgoes around don't come aCround not in this town
GSeven walls go up for every Done wall that comes down
And the Gold ladies pray they'll be Cyoung again someday
GDo your job you Ddirty slob or Cnobody gets Gpaid
CNobody gets Glaid
CNobody gets Gsaved
GDo your job you Ddirty slob or Cnobody gets Gpaid
G
