    DR Capo II

    GW Capo IXC C7 F G  C F A Dm G C

     

    (G) Say you wanna see my garden and you wanna make it shine

    Say you wanna see my blue jeans hanging on your old clothes(G7)line

    (C) Standing in the backdoor (D) crying

    (G) Now you wanna be my (C) friend

    (E) That's the way the cornbread (Am) crumbles

    (D) That's the way the whole thing (G) ends

     

    (G) Now what's a little baby doing, dressing up in banker's clothes?

    What's a little sweetheart like you, doing with a bloody (G7) nose?

    (C) Standing in the backdoor (D) crying,

    (G) Now you're gonna need a (C) friend

    (E) That's the way the cornbread (Am) crumbles

    (D) That's the way the whole thing (G) ends

     

    (G) Now once you had a hook and ladder, up into the headless night

    And once you had a motorcycle, but you couldn't ride it (G7) right

    (C) Standing in the doorway (D) crying

    (G) Now you're gonna need a (C) friend

    (E) That's the way the cornbread (Am) crumbles

    (D) That's the way the whole thing (G) ends

     

    (G) Someone said something one time, but Daddy didn't talk too loud

    People oughta stick together, that's the way to make a (G7) crowd

    But (C) here you come alone and (D) crying,

    (G) Now you wanna be my (C) friend

    (E) That's the way the cornbread (Am) crumbles

    (D) That's the way the whole thing (G) ends

     

    (G) Momma's in the beauty parlor and Daddy's in the baseball pool

    Sister's in the drive-in movie, brother's in the old high (G7) school

    (C) Now here you come alone and (D) crying,

    (G) Once you know you were my (C) friend

    (E) That's the way the cornbread (Am) crumbles

    (D) That's the way the whole thing (G) ends
