   W/ hammers: 

                Em 
I don't care to say what 
   C             G           D 
I failed to recognize 
             Em            C             G         D 
Every single day from the poker to the prize 

W/o hammers: 

                 Em 
Running out of Springfield 
    C                     G           D 
I worked for the Capitol Air in the {bags?} 
               Em         C 
Found a woman there who said 
                   G                   D 
She had a mind to make me a messenger man 

G---0---2---4----------- 

Am                              G        D 
If my father took his life for national plan 
I don't care 
Am                                              G            D 
I'm not about to stake my grave with a paper and a bucket of plans 
Never ever 


   Am 
I can take the pillowcases off the yellow pillows 
G               D 
Make a property line from the bed 
Am 
In the living room, the living room, the morning papers 
G                    D 
Make the most out of nothing at all 

W/ hammers: 

                Em           C            G            D 
So we took the room with a view of the run{a}way 
                Em            C             G          D 
I took off my clothes and she took it for a holiday 

(solo) 

W/o hammers: 

            Em           C                  G         D 
I was taken for all the things that I never had before 
                 Em 
Running out of Springfield 
     C                         G                    D 
She left me with a note saying "Bobby don't look back" 

G---0---2---4----------- 

Am                                         G           D 
And if my wife took a bicycle ride with a knife in her hand 
I saw it coming 
Am                                    G             D 
All the shadflies run at once with a trumpet or a train 
Oh I'm running from it 

Am 
Wait a minute, wait a minute 
                     G         D 
Give a minute, baby, I can explain the aftershave 
Am 
Wait a minute, wait a minute, give a minute 
G                    D 
Bobby got a shadfly caught in his hair
