IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TOM WAITS
D G D D
Well the eggs chase the bacon round the fryin' pan
D Bm Em A7
and the whinin' dog pidgeons by the steeple bell rope
D G D G
and the dogs tipped the garbage pails over last night
D Bm Em A7
and there's always construction work bothering you
Chorus
D G
In the neighborhood
D G
In the neighborhood
D A7 D
In the neighborhood
D G D G
Friday's a funeral and Saturday's a bride
D Bm Em A7
Sey's got a pistol on the register side
D G D G
and the goddamn delivery trucks they make to much noise
D Bm Em A7
and we don't get our butter delivererd no more
Chorus
D G D G
Well big Mambo's kicking his old grey hound
D Bm Em A7
and the kids can't get ice-cream 'cause the market burned down
D G D G
and the newspaper sleeping bags blow down the lane
D Bm Em A7
and the goddamn flatbed's got me pinned in again
Chorus
D G D G
There's a couple Filipino girl's gigglin' by the church
D Bm Em A7
and the window is busted and the landlord ain't home
D G D G
and Butch joined the army yea that's where he's been
D Bm Em A7
and the jackhammer's diggin' up the sidewalks again
Chorus
