Tiny Tim - The coming home party

^DmI used to be the first to laugh When Mrs. Jennings took a bath And left the window open for the ^Eneighbors But ^Emhad we looked, we might have seen

And ^Egiven her the credit of her ^F#labors ^B [Chorus] And Mr. ^EJennings, where was he? The man that ^Awe had asked to see And ^Ewho were we to think that it was ^Bfunny When as she ^Eraised her glass she said she wasn't ^Asure He might be dead, or ^Bsomewhere making love to all his ^Emoney

She ^Dmheld her breath expectantly While everybody stared at me As I approached to greet Miss Mary ^EBlooming (hello) I ^Emtweaked her nose and kissed the tip

And ^Ejust because I did, it left her ^F#fuming ^B [Chorus] I almost ^Egave myself away when Captain ^AGraves came up to say... ^EGlad to see me home and he was ^Btickled And now I'm ^Esure I had excused the way I ^Aused to be abused ^BIt was worth it all to see him ^Etickled

^DmThe atmosphere was getting thick, the guy beside me looking sick I would've helped, at least I thought I ought ^Eto He ^Emflashed me an appearing grin, I stopped and took the feeling in I ^Ewasn't sure, but something told me ^F#not to ^B

I knew I ^Ecouldn't take much more, I started ^Amaking for the door And ^Eas I passed my date, I let her ^Bkiss me I grabbed my ^Ecoat and stepped outside I stuck my ^Athumb out for a ride De^Bparting knowing they would never ^Emiss me
