Cmaj7  Fmaj7  Cmaj7  Am  D

Cmaj7
             B*
the tavern's open again
     Fmaj7                     Dm       G        Cmaj7
the line-up who light up will surely decide the fate
            B*
of these incorrigibles
      Fmaj7                Dm        G      F    Fm
who plaster their messages up on the interstate
             Cmaj7  Am  F  Fm
when she turns 50
            Am   D
i might be dead

Cmaj7
            B*
but acting happy again
    Fmaj7                   Dm         G      Cmaj7
go singing his songs about rush-hour traffic jams
           B*
when the vodka kicks in
   Fmaj7 
a night at the rockies
 Dm         G        F   Fm
digging in for the slam
             Cmaj7  Am  F  Fm
when she turns 50
                Am   D  Dm  Em
i'll bake the bread
                Cmaj7
i'll bake the bread
