[Intro]
E A E B7 E
[Verse 1]
E7
Mama makes the music and she makes the news
E7
She dances all night in her golden shoes
A7 E7
She's high flying, going, going, gone
C#7 F#7 B7 E7
She'll be halfway to Heaven by the hour that the morning comes
[Verse 2]
E7
And papa's sacked out with his head in his lap
E7
Mama likes to think that he's taking a nap
A7 E7
Because he's working so hard, working all night long
C#7 F#7 B7 E7
He'll be halfway to hell in the hour that the morning comes
[Chorus]
A7
Like a bat out of hell in the moonlight
E7
Like the pieces of the picture that you broke last night
A7
I'm sure it's gonna be all right
C#7 F#7 B7 E7
I'll be halfway heavy by the hour that the morning comes
[Verse 3]
E7
Oh, look at that fool with the lampshade on
E7
Somebody told him he was having fun
A7 E7
But they were wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
C#7 F#7 B7 E7
If he's a fool enough he might open his eyes when the morning comes along
[Verse 4]
E7
Now look at that secret agent man
E7
Sneaking out of church with blood on his hands
A7 E7
He's for sale, going, going, gone
C#7 F#7 B7 E7
He'll be the first to know and the last to go when the shit hits the fan
[Chorus]
E7
Gimme little water, gimme little wine
E7
You're looking at a man who's been out in the sunshine
A7 E7
Just a little too long, little bit too long
C#7 F#7 B7 E7
But I'll be halfway home in the hour that the morning comes
[Outro]
A7 E7 E A E B7 E
