[Ab]
Say you [Eb] wanna [Ab] see my garden And you [Eb] wanna [Ab] make it shine
Say you wanna see my blue jeans Hanging on your clothesline
[Db] Standing in the [Ab] backdoor [Eb] crying [Ab] Now you wanna be my [Db] [Eb] friend
[Db] [F] That's the way [Cm] the cornbread [Fm] [Bbm] crumbles [Eb] That's the way the whole [Ab] thing ends
[Abm] [Ab] Now what's a little baby doing Dressing up in baggage clothes
Now what's a little sweetheart like you Doing with a bloody nose

[F] That's the way the [Bbm] cornbread crumbles [Eb] That's the way the whole thing [Ab] ends
