Introduction:
C
I saw you at the railway station
Am
there had been a cancelation
F G
you were smoking cigarettes alone
C
I walked up and said hello,
Am
I lost my wife two days ago
F
You shook my hand and said
G C
Francis was your name
F G
And you had a hat
C Am
And I had a hat
F G
Mmm, we both had hats
F G
And my wife was dead
Am D
And your wife was dead
F G C
Shit happens, Francis said
C
Francis said it's five o'clock
Am
How about we find a rock
F G
and throw at some cars from the bridge
C
I laughed and said that sounds like fun
Am
We walked into the setting sun
F G C
And Francis said "I'm aiming at the kids"
F G
And he threw a rock
C Am
So I threw a rock
F G
We both put some gravel in a sock
F G
And he threw the sock,
Am D
I said we should stop
F
He smiled at me,
G C
then threw a rock in a sock
C
We snuck down to the local farm
Am
And there we opened up the barn
F G
To set the horses free and watch them run
C
The moon was extra bright that night
Am
The horses in the pale moonlight
F G
"Watch this" Francis said,
C
and pulled his gun
F G
And he shot a horse
C Am
So I shot a horse
F G
Francis choked a chicken with his hands
F G
But watching them die,
Am D
he started to cry
F G
"I'm bored" Francis said,
C
let's steal a car
G
Oh, Margaret, Oh Margaret
F C
Don't you worry bout' me now
Am F C
I'm doing just fine on my own
G
There are other things to life
F C
than your soft skin against mine
F Am
And Francis is helping me move on
G C
I'm moving on
C
Life's a bitch, a wise man said
Am
No matter what, you end up dead
F G
And all that you can wish for is a friend
C
So pour another glass of wine
Am
With Francis shoulder touching mine
F
I 'll stay right here
G C
until the bitter end
F G
And you have a hat
C Am
And I have a hat
F G
Mmm, we both have hats
F G
And your wife is dead
Am D
And my wife is dead
F G Am
Here's to life, Francis said
F G Am
Here's to life, Francis said
F G C
Here's to life, Francis said
