D5         D5      Dsu2          D5
The local radio says sorry time to go
D5                 D5
But I don't sleep too well
D5                    D5
Where are those Southern Belles?

Tryin to get a telephone line through South Caroline
A5                           G5        D5     A5
Your call may bring somebody down for miles around
    G5            A5    D5
I'm watching her eyes again.

I won't use no fountain pen.

Verse 2:

The lady isn't here. The message wasn't clear.
She left an hour ago, screamed from the floor below.

Chorus 2:

Mother nature never gives in, she wants you to sing
But how can I go on just singing this song
My car's out of gas again.
Hurry home to see my friend

Money won't help you to win a new look at things
A5         G5         D5           A5
Loving can bring you down so you fall
A5                    G5      D5         A5
Then why do you still try to get up at all
     G5            A5            D5
Your good and bad side showing through
         G5     A5       D5
Problems are a part of you

Verse 3:

You must love someone else or face life by yourself
You may expect a call.
She's waiting in the hall

Chorus 3:

See the garden grows and it grows, nobody else knows
And you can wear just any old thing,
the show can begin
I'm falling asleep to dream.
No more hills to climb it seems

Bridge 2:

Money won't help you to win a new look at things
You never give in
So why don't you sing
But how can I go on just singing this song
My car's out of gas again
I'll be home to see my friend

The End
