Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I went into a restaurant
[G]as hungry as a bear,
[D]And like a raving maniac I g[A]rabbed
the bill of fare
The waiter [D]said "what will
you have," "give [G]me a steak" I say
[D]He too[G]k my order 'bout his
[D]head and [A]slowly walked away
[D]And he never cam[A]e back,
he never came back,
[D]Though I waited an hour [A]or more
Oh his face I will break,
if he [D]don't bring [G]that steak,
When we [D]meet on [A]that beautiful [D]shore

[Verse 2]
[A]A j[D]ay who lived down on the farm
came [G]into see the [D]town,
Registered at Smith's hotel
[A]as Mr Hayseed Brown
A [D]jay he was so y'all [G]admit with whiskers green as g[D]rass,
[G]Pulled off his shoes jumped in[D]to bed
and [A]then blew out [D]the gas
[A]And he never came back,
he never came back[D],
And as they broke down [A]the door,
Oh the last words he said, just
before he dropped [G]dead,
Were "we'll [A]meet on
that beautiful [D]shore"[A]
I went [D]into a circus show, I took my

[Verse 3]
[G]
mother in [D]law
She laughed at everything she saw 'til she
[A]nearly broke her jaw
Nearby I [D]saw a big balloon
which [G]proved to be my friend
[D]I threw h[G]er in, I c[D]ut the rope,
[A]and up she did as[D]cend
And she never [A]came back,
she never came back,
[D]Though we [A]waited for six
days or more
Oh, there's one thing I know,
I will [D]go down [G]below,
If we [D]meet on [A]that beautiful [D]shore
