Mr Henry
Tom Waits
[Verse 1] Mr. Henry stumbles home When the evening’s done Eb Dbdim7 He’s as poor as a church mouse High on the Meyer’s rum Tugging at his shirttail Jiggling a church key Chewing on a toothpick Bb7sus Bb7 On another binge [Verse 2] Trampling the rosebush Whistin’ to himself... Eb Dbdim7 Now don’t wake up the neighbours Spitting on the hinge Rattling the milkbottles Tripping on a skate Hidin’ from the Newsboys Bb7sus Bb7 Before it’s too late [Verse 3] The Screen door’s open Don’t make no noise in the Kitchen Eb Dbdim7 Got no excuse For a cold grey wife that starts bitchin’ That the no good bum’s at it again After she’s given him Bb7sus Bb7 The best years of her life [Verse 4] He’ll tell her he was celebrating Savage’s divorce Eb Dbdim7 Played a hunch out at Yonkers You can never trust a horse And thrown in jail Swore he’d never do these things again He’s got an alibi Bb7sus Bb7 But never tells her where he’s been "Henry! Henry!"
