Email: Dlgibson@netscape.com Tuning: Standard Artist: John Prine Album: Great Days: The John Prine Anthology Year: 1993 Intro: F F G F

^FYou can't live together You can't live ^Falone ^GConsidering the weather Oh my, how you've ^Fgrown ^FFrom the men in the factories To the wild kanga^Froo Like those ^Gbirds of a feather

They're gathering together

And feeling exactly like ^Fyou

Chorus:

They got ^Fmesmerized by lullabies And limbo danced in ^Fpairs Please lock that ^Gdoor

It don't make much sense That common sense

Don't make no sense no ^Fmore

^FJust between ^Gyou and ^Fme It's ^Flike ^Fpulling When you ^Gought to be ^Fshovin, ^FLike a ^Fnun with her ^Ghead in the ^Foven ^FPlease don't ^Ftell me That this ^Greally wasn't ^Fnothing

(Repeat Intro)

^FOne of these days One of these ^Fnights ^GYou'll take off your hat

And they'll read you

Your ^Frights ^FYou'll wanna get high Every time you feel ^Flow ^GHey, Queen Isabella

Stay away from that fella He'll just get you

Into trouble, you ^Fknow?

^FBut they came here by boat And they came here by ^Fplane ^GThey blistered their hands And they burned out their ^Fbrain ^FAll dreaming a dream That'll never come ^Ftrue Hey, don't ^Ggive me no trouble

Or I'll call up my double We'll play piggy-in-the-middle

With ^Fyou

(Repeat Chorus)
