David Francey - Things They Do Chords

CAPO: 4th Fret



INTRO: C      Am  G
 
C          F      G       C
Two little girls, hand in hand
F                  Am    Am-G
Wait in the winter rain
     C               F             G            C
They said their good-byes and they opened their eyes
         F                       Am     Am-G
And they stared down a westbound train
  C          F               G          C
I read in my paper they were feeling so bad
      F                  Am    Am-G
About this and the other thing
    C           F                 G            C
But all I could think of were the parents back home
F                       Am     Am-G  C
Waiting on the phone to ring
            G      C           Am     Am-G-C
Why do they do the things they do?
            G      C           Am     Am-G
Why do they do the things they do?


C            F                  G            C
Billy said, "Take them, I won't need them anymore"
       F                                Am    Am-G
And we laughed at what we thought was a joke
   C                F              G        C
He went down Monday morning to the hardware store
         F                           Am    Am-G
And they found him at the end of his rope
      C          F           G        C
For a long while after I was walking around
       F                    Am     Am-G
With a terrible case of the blues
  C             F                 G             C
I couldn't hear laughter, I could just hear the sound
      F                       Am     Am-G  C
Of my feet in that dead man's shoes
            G      C           Am     Am-G-C
Why do they do the things they do? 
            G      C           Am     Am-G-C
Why do they do the things they do?


INSTRUMENTAL: G  C  F  C   F   C   G  C  F  C   G  


     C            F        G          C
They leave in the morning, leaving no warning
F                           Am   Am-G
Sometimes they spell it all out
     C            F        G        C
They leave in the evening, no one believing
     F                     Am    Am-G
That this could have come about
     C            F        G     C
They dwell on the sadness, anticipating
    F                    Am    Am-G
The dream of a dreamless night
     C             F                 G         C
They live with the darkness, and for all their waiting
     F                     Am     Am-G  C
They never see the morning light
            G      C           Am     Am-G-C
Why do they do the things they do?
            G      C           Am     Am-G-C
Why do they do the things they do?
            G      C           Am     Am-G-C
Why do they do the things they do?
            G      C           Am     Am-G-C
Why do they do the things they do?
            G      C           Am   
Why do they do the things they do?
