G gb ce g gb
Standin by your window in pain, a pistol in your
Ce g gb ce
Hand, and i beg you, dear molly, girl,
D
Try and understand your man the best you can.

G a7 c em g
Across the great divide, just grab your hat, and take that ride
A c em g
Get yourself a bride, and bring your children down to the river side.

G c g c
I had a goal in my younger days, i nearly wrote my will
G c d
But i changed my mind for the better, i'm at the still, had my fill and i'm fit to kill
G c g c
Pinball machine, and a queen, i nearly took a bust
G c d
Tried to keep my hands to myself, ya say it's a must, but who can ya trust?
G c g c
Harvest moon shinin' down from the sky, a weary sign for all
G c d
I'm gonna leave this one horse town, had t' stall till the fall, now i'm gonna crawl!

G a c em g

A c g c
Now molly dear, don't ya shed a tear
G c g
Your time will surely come, you'll feed your man
C d
Chicken ev'ry sunday, now tell me, hon, what-cha done with the gun

G a7 c em g
Across the great divide, just grab your hat, and take that ride
A c em g
Get yourself a bride, and bring your children down to the river side.
G a c g
