Barrier Reef Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Old 97s
C
The empty bottle was half empty, Todd was alone and I was thirsty
F
We saw her sitting at the bar, you know how some girls are
C                    G                     F
Always making eyes, but she wasn't making eyes

C
So I sidled up beside her, settled down and shouted hi there
F
My names Stewart Ransom Miller, I'm a serial lady killer
C                                       G               F
She said I'm already dead, and that's exactly what she said 

C
So we tripped, the light's fantastic, we was both made of elastic
F
Midnight came and midnight went, I thought I was the president
C                                  G            F
She said do you have a car, I said do I have a car?

G                                 C
What's so great about the barrier reef?
G                    C
What's so fine about art?
F                                  C
What's so good about a good times plan?
G                               F                 C           F     C
When your workin on a broken workin on a broken workin on a broken man
G                               F                 C           F     C
When your workin on a broken workin on a broken workin on a broken man

My heart wasn't in it, not for one single minute,
I went through the motions with her, her on top and me on liquor
Didn't do no good, but I didn't think it would

What's so great about the barrier reef?
What's so fine about art?
What's so good about a good times plan?
When your workin on a broken, workin on a broken, workin on a broken man
When your workin on a broken, workin on a broken, workin on a broken man
