I saw a lack of this song anywhere, so I decided it was about time someone posted a
decent rendition of this little croon.  Here's my interpretation, enjoy!

VERSE 1:
Em (022000@1)            Cangel (x32010@1)broke her wing

Em (022000@1)           C (x32010@1)           G (320003@1)       Cticking (x32010@1)of the clock and the rattle of springs
    Am (x02210@1)           D (xx0232@1)the buick's in the drive

VERSE 2:

it isn't very much
but for now its home
a room in the shadow of a funny lookin' man
on the phone to the bank about a default loan
I thank you very much
ta ta we'll keep in touch

CHORUS:

    Am (x02210@1)          D7and (xx0212@1)taking in the green
