[Intro 1]
[C][Am][C][Am][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]I was
[Am]of poor fo[C]lk[Am]
But my [C]mother had a [Am]rab bit fur [D]coat[A]
And a [G]girl of less character pushed
[C]her down the L.A. [Am]River
Hand [C]over that [G]rab[Am]bit [G]fur [C]coat[Am][C]
[Am]She put a

[Verse 2]
[C]knife [Am]to her t[C]hroat[Am]
Hand [C]over that [Am]rabbit fur [D]coat
[A]When my ma [G]refused,
the girl kicked [C]dirt on [Am]her blouse
[C]Stay away from my [G]mansion
[C]house[Am][C][Am]

[Verse 3]
My [C]mother really [Am]suffered
[C]for that[Am]
Spent her [C]life in a [Am]gold
plated [D]body [A]cast[Am]
[G]Now, you ask,
did she [C]get that girl back[Am]?
She paid a [C]visit to that
[G]mansion [C]hou[Am]se[C]
[Am]She knew

[Verse 4]
[C]the girl [Am]was n[C]ot t[Am]here
But her [C]father was [Am]in cufflinks with
[D]slicked- back black [A]hair
[Am]He i[G]nvited her in,
they never [C]sang [Am]a note
But she [C]took off that [G]rabbit
fur [C]coat[Am][C][Am]

[Verse 5]
An[C]d who do you [Am]think [C]came [Am]home?
[C]Miss [Am]so and so[D]
[A]She too[Am]k one[G] look at my ma and
[C]what did she [Am]say?
"Why are you [C]stealing from my
[G]mansion [C]hou[Am]se?"[C]
[Am]No, I'm

[Verse 6]
[C]in love with [Am]Mr.
So [C]and so[Am]
He in[C]vited me in[Am],
I'm a [D]girl no [A]more[Am][A]
[G]Then she dragged my ma
[C]out by [Am]her throat
Hand [C]over that [G]rabbit fur
[C]coat[Am][C][Am]

[Verse 7]
Let's [C]move ahead [Am]twenty years,
[C]shall [Am]we?
[C]She was waitressing on [Am]welfare,
we were [D]living in the val[Asus4]ley
A [A]lady [G]says to my ma you treat
your [C]girl as [Am]your spouse
You can [C]live in [G]a mansion
[C]hou[Am]se[C][Am]

[Verse 8]
[C]And [Am]so we di[C]d[Am]
And [C]I b[Am]ecame a
[D]100.000 dollar [Asus4]kid
[A]When I [G]was old enough to realize,
wiped [C]the dust from my mother's eyes
[G]It's all [C]this for that [G]rabbit
fur [C]coat
[Am][C]

[Verse 9]
[Am]
[C]But I'm not [Am]bitter [C]about [Am]it
I've [C]packed up my [Am]things and
let [D]them have [Asus4]at it
[Am]And the fortune [G]faded,
as for[C]tunes often [Am]do
And [C]so did that [G]mansion[C]
[Am]house[C][Am]
Where my [C]ma is

[Verse 10]
[Am]now,
I don't [C]know[Am]
She was [C]living in [Am]her car,
I was [D]living on [A]the road
[Am]And I hear[G] she's putting that
[C]stuff up [Am]her nose
And still [C]wearing that [G]rab
[Am]bit [G]fur [C]coat
[Am][C]

[Verse 11]
[Am]
But [C]mostly I'm [Am]a hypo[C]crite
[Am]I sing songs[C] about the d[Am]eficit
[D]But[A] when I[Am] sell o[G]ut and leave Omaha,
[C]what will [C]I get?
A mansion house [C]and a [G]rab[Am]bit fur c[C]oat
