8. Run Chicken Run
F#m
I just got in from town
Bm
The news is all around
E D A
Push has come to shove At Madam Plum's

F#m
The ice's about to break
Bm
And the pigs are on the take
E D A
And they're marching to the beat of Madam's drums

(repeat chord structure throughout)
The barber he's all smiles
He's from the British Isles
But his razor's sharp as hell
And he knows it well
He's driving to the docks
From an office in the Bronx
He could make your life a living hell

Run chicken run
Don't you lose your sleep
The cat got out of the bag
You better keep your sense
Breathe chicken breathe
Don't you lose your breath
Chickens don't get no life after death

Down on Baker Street
That's where the women get down
They really move their feet
To the line dance, the Cotton Eyed Joe,
Virginia Rag and the Zydeco
But the girl I came to see
She runs down Baker Street
With a pipe bomb in the long
and windy snow

She's a very sensitive lady
She's always at the breaking point
She's always on her guard
She's the fairest of them all
She loves her Adderall
She's kicking out the windows in your car

Run chicken run
The cat got out of the bag
You better keep your sense
Breathe chicken breathe
Don't you lose your breath
Chickens don't get no life after death

Madeline's mother is all in a panic
Cause her husbands mad and he's a bad mechanic
And he's always sad and manic depressive
And the clothes he wears are torn
Let the brass band play
Let them soothe your blues away
Let the fiddle serenade you
Find a shady place to lay

Run chicken run
Don't you lose your step
The cat got out of the bag
You better keep your sense
Breathe chicken breathe
Don't you loose your breath
Chickens don't get no life after death

9. All When We Were Young
10. Boy From Lawrence County

E All these pills and powder A could not make me stay
Oh I'm E on my merry B7 way in the A morning light now
E Cold New England winters A have got me coughing
as the E Lincoln turns the B7 corner down A Memory St

C#m Tell me Jack what's the bounty
A On that boy from Lawrence County
C#m He's a B friend of E mine
C#m If I had a way to trap him
A Would you swear to pay up captain
C#m He's a B friend of E mine

11. Memphis Flu
12. Cooperstown

Song is In D : Lots of Dsus and Asus throughout

*indicates the second chord pattern (beginning with verse 3) – basically the same, but G and A get swapped...

(D)The water's wide
It's deep and wide
It's down a long and windy (A)road
(D)And everyone knows that a (A) boy can't (G) swim it (D)

In Narrow's Church
The white walled church
They're singing that gospel song
"Bye and Bye, I’m a see my King"

*(D)Oh The clouds break
And the pews shake
And the choir it softly (G)cries
(D)And it's Georgia in the (G)spring of (A)1905 (D)

Ty Cobb
You're dead and gone
You had a game like a war machine
And through the great
Hall of Fame you wander

In Tigers Field
A girl in heels
She had a face like a magazine
And through the long metal stands she wandered

*The ball soared
The crowd roared
The scoreboard sweetly hummed
And tomorrow you'll surely know whose won

I'm on First
And you're on Third
And all the wolves are all between
And everyone's sure that the game is over

The catcher's hard
He's mean and hard
And he nips at the batter's heels
And everyone's sure that the game is over

*The ball soars
And the crowd roars
And the scoreboard sweetly hums
And tomorrow you'll surely know whose won

The water's wide
It's deep and wide
It's a down a long and windy road
And everyone knows that a boy can't swim it

*The clouds break
And the pews shake
And the preacher's feet do pound
As the rain beats the streets of Cooperstown

13. Rise and Shine
