Matthew (with the pug nose)
                                           C
caught me with his sister in the wheat field.
Em
Got a couple of buddies
                                                C
Tied me up and threw me in the Oldsmobile.
     D
I said : "Matthew are you crazy?"
                C
As he started closing for the kill
Em
Matthew slowed the Olds to 10.
C                                         Em
and left me here to die in Merrittville

There's a game they play in the summertime
G                               Em                   D
There's a game they play when it's hot outside
 C                        Em   D  C
And I wonder why they left me here in

Sally (with the narrow hips)
                                           C
cut the ropes and said she would clear my head
Em
She made a dirt path in the back
                                      C
Led me all the way to her daddy's shed
         D                                                                    C
I said: "Sally, Who'd believe that we'd have to come so far for a thrill.
Em
Sally let me got that night,
C                                            Em
weak, tired, and spent in Merrittville

William (with the holy book)
                                         C
Stopped me as I stumbled down the road today.
Em
He said, "Get your knees, boy,
                C
you're gonna learn to pray".
    D                                                           C
I said, "William, I had no idea that the Lord had such a will".
Em
William put his point across
    C                       Em
and left me here to burn in Merritville.
