[B] [E] [A] [B]
She left in the middle [E] of [A] the night [B] with the [E]
kids
Wrapped in a [A] blanket, with a [F#m] packet [B] of [E] [A] [B] crisps
Heading for another [E] zone, [A] another [B] state
[E] The kids [A] looked up, but [F#m] were light in [G#] the rain
In the middle of [Dm] the night, such [G] adventures [F] made
Two little [Dm] kids, [G] staying [D#] up late
It was raining [Dm] windy, [C#] winter [F#] was bleak
[B]
At four in the morning, [E] [B]
hunting the [F#m] tough sheep
[B]
She [E] [A] [B] couldn't get to [E] sleep [A] wearing [B] her [E] paddy gun
The door [A] opened wide, [F#m] and the [B] lights went [E] [A] on
[B] He jumped as the [E] Lord [A] was on top [B] [E] [A]
[F#m] of the [G#] cat
Singing [Dm] evil in Spanish, [G] to crying [F] wives
He took a swing at [Dm] the sheep, [G] and the harm [D#] would lie
They were knocking [Dm] on the door, [C#m] dressed like [F#] refugees
[B] And falling [E] rain, [F#] on [F#m] into street
[A] She won't have [D#] that [A] behavior, [C#] in her [A] house [Bm]
anymore
[G#] [F#m] He's got [E] to sober [D#m]
up, [A] or [C#] be kicked [F#] out of [Bm] the door
[A] Down on [G#] the corner, [C#] the [F#] kid's at his [B] [C#]
feet
[F#] His [B] daddy comes [C#] [F#]
home, on King Jock [C#] Street
[F#] His daddy comes home
They [C#]
stood around the kettle, and watched as it [F#] brewed
Steez in his new hankies, hands all [C#] blue
The next evening [F#] he [B] came around [C#] to [F#] the house
With a [B] bunch of flowers, [G#m] locked in [A#] my eye
He peered [Em] through a window, [A] and mouth words [G] in the air
Her lips [Em] to his heart, [A] she saw [F] him how
The kids [Em] came around,
[D#] happy [G#] to see
[C#] Their daddy [F#] back home, [B]
on King Jock [G#] Street
Their [C#]
daddy [F#] back home, on [B]
King Jock [F#m] Street
