Only I Had Forgotten My GmMother Had Passed
I Heard FFlapping Pages In A EbCreosote Bush
I Walked ToGmwards Them
D7They Were Full Of Women   C7

Pre-Chorus
With BbBlurred Out Crotches
And GmStars For Nipples
And An EbAd For The Red Man BbBurning My FLip
That I BbGot From A Guinness GmWorld Record Holder
For The EbLongest Fall Living
And He BbWalked With A FLimp, And We Sang

Chorus
BbGold And Silver, GmGod And Glitter
EbLights That Flicker On BbHubcap FChrome
On The BbRoad To Heaven
In GmStrauss And Stetson
