(Capo on the first fret)
Intro: G....Bm.....C
G Bm C (then walk it down) Am
Little boys and little girls dream of big, big things. They're taught
D G
at a tender age just what life should bring. Get a job say I do and
C (walk it down) Am D
settle yourself down. But what about those of us whose lives are
still spinnin' around.
(Chorus)
C D G
Tell me what's so great about picket fences. Paintin' them's such a
C D
mess. And a big back yard where kids can play. I'd probably
G C D
never get a moment's rest. And settin' the table for five at five.
Bm A C
G
Only means more dishes to load. What's so great about picket
Am D G
fences. I guess i'll never know.
G.....Bm.....C
(same as the first time)
Here i am in my prime at least they tell me so. And if i go to sleep
at night I always go alone. I guess that I could have it all and
someone by my side. But I can't take the give and take the price
is just too high.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
C G Am
Tell me what's so great about picket fences. I guess I'lllllllll
D G
never know.
