Ola Podrida - Run Off The Road Ukulele

C        F                  C    G
When you finally scaled the wall

C          F               Am    G
Thinking you had heard the siren singing

C        F           C        Am
What you really heard was a broken bird

C          G            Am
Making out like it's a dove



C          F                 C   G
When you stole the soldier's car

C     F             Am       G
Everybody knew what you were thinking

C       F    C           Am
Ivory towers and lover's flowers

C           G                 Am
But no one thought you were a fool



Em           Am              F
You never stopped to notice all

Em           Am                   F
The stolen clothes stacked in the hall

Em         Am      G               C

G          Am                  C
Find themselves fun off the road

And again:

C          F              C    G ...
When you showed up at the farm
Visions of the summer flying past you
The foxes had torn up
The mother and her pups
And the well was full of flies
When you walked down to the pond
Searching for the lover guiding you
It had been filled in with rusty nails and then
You finally knew that you were lost

No one thought you were a fool
Even though everyone knew
What you wrote was the same
Just a different name
Of those who escaped before you.
