[Verse 1]
Well, he [Am]came
home from [Dm]the war
[E]With a party in his head
And modified Brougham [Am]DeVille
And a pair of legs that opened
[E]up like butterfly wings
And a mad dog that wouldn't sit [Am]still
He went and [Dm]took up with a Salva
[Am]tion Army band girl
Who played [Dm]dirty water on [Am]a
swordfishtrombone
[Dm]He went to sleep at the bottom
[Am]of Tenkiller lake
And he said [B]"gee,
but it's [F]great to be [E]home"
Well, he came [Am]home from the war
with [E]a party in his head
And an idea for a fireworks [Am]display
And he knew that he'd be ready
[E]with a stainless steel machete
And a half a pint of Ballentine's each [Am]day
And he [Dm]holed up in room [D]above
a [Am]hardware store
Cryin' [Dm]nothing there but Hollywood [Am]tears
[Dm]He put a spell on some poor
little [Am]Crutchfield girl
[B]And stayed like that
for twenty-seven years
[E]years
He packed up [Am]all his expecta[Dm]tions,
he lit [E]out for California
With a flyswatter banjo on [Am]his knee
[Dm]With a lucky[Am] tiger in hi[Dm]s angel hair a[E]nd
Benzedrine for getting there
They found him in a eucalyptus [Am]tree
[Dm]Lieutenant got him a canary bird[Am] and skanked her
head with every [Dm]word
Chesterfielded moonbeams [Am]in a song
[Dm]He got twenty years for lovin' her
from [Am]some Oklahoma governor
Said [B]"everything this
[Dm]Doughboy [B]does [E]is wrong"
Now some say [Am]he's doing
the obituary mam[E]bo
Now some say that he's hanging
on [Am]the wall
Perhaps this yarn's the only [F]thing
[Dm]that holds[E] this man together
Some say he was never
here [Am]at all
[Dm]And some say they saw him
down in Birmingham
[Am]Slee[Dm]ping in a
boxcar going [Am]by[Dm]
And if you think that you can
[Am]tell a bigger [Dm]tale
[Am]I sw[B]ear to God you'd have [E]to tell

[Outro 1]
