C I been waiting on a cold front G7 To trample this sun I been calling my mama C On the telephone I been cooking lots of chicken
F On the kitchen stove C G7 C And pulling the meat right off the bone I been sending that letter Of sorrow home I been hurting deep And not sleeping long I been eating lots o chicken And getting mighty stoned And pulling the meat right off the bone F And I ask myself C How did it get this way? But when I ask myself G7 I ain’t got much to say C I’m just cooking the chicken F And eating crow C G7 C And pulling the meat right off the bone We have no preacher To marry our son Our daughters have no faith In a christian home How shall we live now Now that God is gone Just pullin’ the meat right off the bone
