My Friend Sherry chords by Myra Davies
Verse 1
G
Well, we have a very organized and energized
and unified campaign throughout the state.
We have county coordinators in
every county in the state.
Am
We have a very organized ground war that we're
fighting at the present time,
with volunteers coming all the time.
Planned
Parenthood is the only proportion
of abortion providers
in the early 60s,
in those oh -so -happy days,
G
My friend
Am
G
Sherry was in a red dress on.
She could do the she all night long.
Am
Sherry, baby, won't you come off tonight?
E
G
Tell your mom everything
Am
G
Am
is all right.
G
F
But it wasn't all right back in the early 60s
G
Am
and those oh -so -happy days.
No birth control, criminal abortion,
G
Russian roulette was the
Am
only game in town.
G
Am
Many a girl took that chance.
Sherry did.
G
Am
Here's how it went in those old soul,
F
G
Am
happy days.
G
The girl finds a doctor, agrees on a price.
Am
F
Rents a motel room,
Am
doesn't have to be nice.
G
Am
Sheets and towels her
mother won't miss.
G
And her best friend has to
Am
agree to assist.
G
Cause the deal with the doctor
Am
is if things go wrong,
G
Am
G
He's gonna run.
Am
F
G
The best friend's there to call.
Am
911
G
Spread eagled on a table in
Am
a cheap motel room
G
Waiting for the drugs to kick in
Am
G
She wonders if it's door number
Am
G
one or door number two
With
Em
G
Am
God, the odds al ways favor the house
G
Am
To stop the thought that she might die
G
Am
She tries to think of lemon pie
G
Mom, how upset she'd be
G#
Am
If she knew what's happening to me
G
Oh, I forgot
Am
In case I die
G
Am
I wish I'd said goodbye
Oops, now she needs to throw up
G
And all the while
F
G
The doctor's poking
around down there
Trying to make
Am
G
Enough of a tear to bring on a miscarriage
Am
G
And not a hemorrhage
Am
G
If all goes right, there's no need to run,
Am
G
Am
G
no call to 9 -1 -1, the doctor splits, the girl
Am
goes to emergency feeling ill of course,
G
but she doesn't care, she's got her life back.
That's not how it went for my friend
Sherry.
Am
My friend
G
Am
G
Sherry with a red dress on
Am
G
She could do the shimmy
Am
G
all night long
Am
Sherry baby won't you come out tonight
G
Am
Tell your mom everything is alright
G
Am
G
Am
Sherry couldn't find a doctor
G
so she settled for a med student
knowing if he punctured
Am
G
X instead of
Y, she could die.
Am
And she did.
G
At 17,
Sherry
Am
Baby was dead.
G
Help me out here.
Am
Why in
G
Am
G
God's name does anyone want
Am
G
Am
to go back to that?
G
My friend
Am
Sherry with the red dress on
G
Am
She can do the shaving all night long
G
Sherry baby,
Am
G
won't you come out tonight?
Tell your mom everything
Am
G
Am
is alright
G
Am
Tell your mom everything is alright
G
Am
Am
G
with
God constitutes the majority.
G
So that's our philosophy
and we will win
this war but we need every
Christian to participate.
