The last time that I saw her she was standing in the rain
         G                                              C
With her overcoat under her arm leaning on a horse head cane
           C                                      F         D7
She said, "Carl, take all the money" - She called everybody Carl
    G                                                       C
"My spirit's broke - My mind's a joke and getting up's real hard"

Don't you know her when you see her?
         C               F
She grew up in your back yard
          F             C

Selling bibles at the airport - Buying Quaalude's on the phone
         G                                                     C
Hey, you talk about, a paper route - She's a shut-in without a home
              C                                     F                 D7
God save her, please she's nailed her knees to some drugstore parking lot
     G                                                          C
Hey, Mr. Brown, turn the volume down - I believe this evening's shot

Can't you picture her next Thursday? Can you picture her at all?
       G                                       C
In the Hotel Boulderado at the dark end of the hall
        C                               F            D7
I gotta shake myself and wonder why she even bothers me
       G                                           C
For if heartaches were commercials, we'd all be on TV
