The Wrens
Ex-Girl Collection
[Note: like most Wrens' songs, there's too much going on to
accurately reflect it in one guitar part, but you should be
able to play along with this. Sorry about the lyrics in the
last verse; I'm too lazy to figure them out. Send any
G Bm Em
Fourth floor room
Am Bm C
Each girl I've brought back home to bloom
Bm
All fold on close inspection
G Bm Em Am Bm C
Each one leaves a banner hanging from the eaves
Bm
Marking the eve of election
D
Ex-girl collection
Am Bm C G
Why/ into why not
E
Into what else you got?
Am Bm C Bm
It's just how men mark time
G Bm Em Am Bm C Bm
G Bm Em Am Bm C Bm
G Bm Em
Ann slams in
Am Bm C
Another lightening round begins
Bm
This could get interesting
G Bm Em
Where's Ann been?
Am Bm C
She pours herself a don't-ask gin
Bm D
No ice and light on the bitters
I'm done with quitters
Am Bm C G
'Why / Charles, I found out
E
Wipe that smile off your mouth
Am Bm C
I think it's tell-me time...'
G Bm Em
Britt hit hard
Am Bm C
She found my box of Beth's best cards
Bm
Hand cut and signed with 'x's
G Bm Em
Called at work
Am Bm C
'Happy anniversary, jerk'
Bm D
And I just laughed at the timing with you on hold line 2 still crying
Am Bm C G
'Why / play sex on the cuff?
E
Does Beth like it rough?
Am Bm C
And learn your dirty lines?
G
And keep her hair cropped
E
(The other shoe dropped)
Am Bm C G
'Is this how men mark time / in couples?', she cursed
E
(This sounds too rehearsed)
Am C G
As Ann, hand on hip, accusing me to the rafters
Am C G
The words turn and spit and scorch right through to the plaster
D
I'm called 10 kinds of a bastard
Curses came faster
G Bm Em
Ann stands down
Am Bm C Bm
I think she thinks [something]
G Bm Em
Ann [something]
Am Bm C Bm D
[something]
Am Bm C G
Why / into why not?
E
Into charles gone to pot
In hotter water
Am Bm C G
Line/ up to lift up a toast
E
To the ones I hurt most
Am Bm C
And how the well's gone lime
G
With charles on the plow
E
I'm roger over and how
Am Bm C
Slower now men mark time
Am Bm C
Fine
Am Bm C
Why, / what else you got?
[G Bm Em Am Bm C Bm x several times--you can pick out
the lead in the verse chords and sound sort of right]
