Well, frank settled down in the Valley,
F13                Eb9
and he hung his wild years on a
D7b9            Gm9
nail that he drove through his wife's forehead.

He sold used office furniture out
    F13            Ab13#11
there on San Fernando Road and
  G13#11          C7#9
assumed a $30,000 loan at
         F13
15 1/4 % and put a down payment
    Bb13                      F13
on a little two bedroom place.

F13                           Bb13
His wife was a spent piece of used jet trash

Made good bloody mary's, kept her mouth
             F13      
shut most of the time, had a little Chihuahua
                Eb9    D7b9        Gm9
named Carlos that had some kind of skin disease 
and was totally blind.

C9aug    
They had a thoroughly modern kitchen;
   F13             Ab13#11
self-cleaning oven (the whole bit)
     G13#11
Frank drove a little sedan.
C7#9
They were so happy.

F13                            Bb13
One night Frank was on his way home
                          F13
from work, stopped at the liquor store,

picked up a couple of Mickey's Big Mouth?s.
           Bb13
Drank 'em in the car on his way to the
                                       F13
Shell station; he got a gallon of gas in a can.

                 Eb9 
Drove home, doused everything in
D7b9               Gm9
the house, torched it.
                       C9aug
Parked across the street laughing,
            F13      Ab13#11
watching it burn, all Halloween
 G13#11    C7#9
orange and chimney red.

F13              Bb13
Then frank put on a top forty station,
  F13
got on the Hollywood freeway headed North.

Bb13
Never could stand that dog.
