      Rab Noakes - That's the Way The Whole Thing Ends


CAPO: 2nd Fret



[INTRO:] G  D/F#  G    E7  Am  D/F#  G
 
[VERSE 1:]
Say you wanna see my garden
And you wanna make it shine
Say you wanna see my blue jeans
                           G7
Hanging on your old clothesline


[CHORUS:]
C                        D/F#
Standing in the backdoor crying
G                   C
Now you wanna be my friend
E7                           A   Am
That's the way the cornbread crumbles
D/F#                          G
That's the way the whole thing ends


[VERSE 2:]
Now what's a little baby doing
Dressing up in banker's clothes?
What's a little sweetheart like you
                   G7
Doing with a bloody nose?


[CHORUS:]
C                          D/F#
Standing in your bare feet crying
G                C
Now you're gonna need a friend
E7                           A   Am
That's the way the cornbread crumbles
D/F#                          G
That's the way the whole thing ends


[VERSE 3:]
Now once you had a hook and ladder
Up into the headless night
And once you had a motorcycle
                         G7
But you couldn't ride it right


[CHORUS:]
C                       D/F#
Standing in the doorway crying
G                       C
Now you're gonna need a friend
E7                           A   Am
That's the way the cornbread crumbles
D/F#                          G
That's the way the whole thing ends


[VERSE 4:]
Someone said something one time
But Daddy didn't talk too loud
People oughta stick together
                         G7
That's the way to make a crowd


[CHORUS:]
C                           D/F#
But here you come alone and crying
G                    C
Now you wanna be my friend
E7                           A   Am
That's the way the cornbread crumbles
D/F#                          G
That's the way the whole thing ends


[INSTRUMENTAL:] G                    G7   D/F#  G    E7  Am  D/F#  G


[VERSE 5:]
Momma's in the beauty parlour
And Daddy's in the baseball pool
Sister's at the drive-in movie
                          G7
Brother's in the old high school


[CHORUS:]
C                           D/F#
Now here you come alone and crying
G                           C
Once, you know, you were my friend
E7                           A   Am
That's the way the cornbread crumbles
D/F#                          G
That's the way the whole thing ends


[CHORUS:]
C                       D/F#
Standing in the doorway crying
G                   C
Now you wanna be my friend
E7                           A   Am
That's the way the cornbread crumbles
D/F#                          G
That's the way the whole thing ends
