B                     D      A  E    A     B
I hate to do this but you're a pain in the neck
B                              D    A       E    A     B
I thought you knew this you're handing me a canceled check
B                        D    A     E      A         B
you're so helpless your girlfriends think you're a saint
B                            D    A   E    A         D
I'll give you a quarter I'll keep my judgements to myself

D                           F#
and i get caught up in the moonlight
                          B            B7
reaching out for a rotten egg I don't want to beg
      G                  F#             B
it's crystal clear your time is nearly gone

count your blessings and do the things that you should
o the has-beens that never had it so good
stormy weather the kids are making a racket
in the wilderness the wild lives are so mild
