[Intro]
G   D   C   G   x2
  
[Verse 1]
G                  D    C               G
  They got married early, never had much money
                 D        C                    G
Then when he got laid off, they really hit the skids
                  D       C                   G
He started up his drinking, then they started fighting
                  D     C              G
He took it pretty badly, she took both the kids
  
[Chorus]
           Em               D
She said, "I'm not standing by
C                   D
to watch you slowly die
            C       D        G    D
So watch me walking, out the door
        C    G              D
Out the door, out the door" 
 
[Bridge]
           C                                            G    D  C  G
She said, "Shove it, Jack, I'm walking out your fucking door"
  
[Verse 2]
                D        C              G
She went to her brother's, got a little bar work
               D      C                   G
He went to the buttery, he stayed about a year
                D      C                     G
Then he wrote a letter, and said, "I want to see ya"
               D                  C                   G
She thought he sounded better, so she sent him up the fare 
 
[Chorus]
       Em                 D     C              G
He was riding through the cane, in the pouring rain
     C          D       G    D
On McCafferty's, to her door
       C    G            D
To her door, to her door
       C
To her door,
 
[Bridge]
                                  (G)
And his heart was singing like a lowdown guitar
  
[Solo]
G   D   C   G   x4
  
[Verse 3]
G                 D      C                   G
  He came in on a Sunday, every muscle aching
                D      C
Walking in slow motion, like he'd just been hit
G                   D     C                  G
  Did they have a future?  Would he know his children?
                   D    C                 G
Could he make a picture, and get them all, get them all to fit?
  
[Chorus]
       Em             D     C                  D
He was shaking in his seat, riding through the streets
     C         D
In a Silver Top, to her
Em             D     C                  D
Shaking in his seat, riding through the streets
     C              D           G    D
In a Silver Top taxicab, to her door
       C    G            D
To her door, to her door
       C
To her door
  
[Outro]
G   D   C   G   x2
