View chords used in this chart
G D7 G
I couldn't hear you for the TV I didn't know you said goodbye
 
C D7
I saw your canceled check for the airfare didn't know flying got so high
 
G D7 G
Beans for breakfast once again hard to eat 'em from the can
 
C D7 G
I've run out of clean utensils I'm a hungry nasty lonesome man
 
D7 G
I heard the crows outside my window guess it's me they're talking about
 
C D7
The fire you lit has burned to cinders every good thing's fizzled out
 
G D7 G
Beans for breakfast once again hard to eat 'em from the can
 
C D7 G
Wish you'd come back and wash the dishes I'm a hungry nasty lonesome man
 
D7 G
Caught a cold with the windows open crow droppings on my window sill
 
C D7
Probably got Histoplasmosis got no gun or I would kill them crows
 
G D7 G
Beans for breakfast once again hard to eat 'em from the can
 
C D7 G
Plastic forks are a dime a dozen I'm a hungry nasty lonesome man
 
D7 G
Finally made it to the mailbox felt so bad I thought I'd die
 
C D7
All I got was a bill from a doctor well I guess flying ain't so high
 
G D7 G
Beans for breakfast once again hard to eat 'em from the can
 
C D7 G
Blue tick mattress cold and greasy I'm a hungry nasty lonesome man
 
D7 G
The house burnt down from the fire that I built in your closet by mistake
 
C D7
After I took all them pills but I got out safe in my duck head overalls
 
G D7 G
Beans for breakfast once again I'm a hungry nasty lonesome man
