verse 1 

Before I went to jail 
           F                       C 
When I was sayin' that I was free 

You was lined up down the avenue 
              G 
Just about as far as I could see 
        F 
You got one eye on my dungarees 
                    C 
And another on my reviews 

And a third one on the waitress 
        G                    C 
She was straightenin' up the pews 

        F 
She was passin' around a basket 
                       C 
She was wipin' off the spoon 
                        G              F                        C 
She was readin' the handwriting on the moon (handwriting on the moon)
 


verse 2 

You call yourself a handyman 
           F                  C 
You can do anything with your hands 

Telling me about your family 
G 
Telling me about your plans 
           F 
Yeah, well I ain't got the belly for this 
                      C 
And you ain't got the brains 

And if you emptied out all of your pockets, honey 
    G                  C 
You could not make the change 

          F 
She keeps passin' around that basket 
                          C 
You keep droppin' in your dues 
                           G              F                        C 
Instead of readin' the handwriting on the moon (handwriting on the moon)
 

verse 3 
F 
Mine sure ain't the belly 
                           C 
And I know yours ain't the brains 

And if you emptied out all your pockets, honey 
    G                  C 
You could not make the change 

If you emptied out all of your pockets, baby 
    G                  F     C 
You could not make the change___
