Verse 1
(B flat minor) I think of who's to blame (F minor)
And I (B flat minor) bow my head in (F minor) shame
(F major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
(G major)
So (C major) (G major) you've grown tired of your
parents always hanging around (D major)
Now they spoil your children and
having grandparents is (G major) out
Yes, they (C major) raised you well, but you wished to hell that (A minor) they'd
go away so you wouldn't have to pay for their (D major) food
Forget (F sharp minor) all the years when
they (D major) paid for you
Send (C major) your mother to
Shady (G major)
Acres, send (C major) your father to
Shady (G major)
Acres, we'll (C major) take good care
of them, you (G major) won't be aware of them, (D major)
send them to
Shady
Acres. (G major)
Well, (A minor) if one (G major) of them's dead,
don't worry your head,
cause we have (D major) a matchmaker.
They can sit down and fetch
on the redstone steps
while watching (G major) green acres. (C major) (G major)
Yes, if you don't (C major) want to visit,
well, there's no requisite.
We have foster (A minor) sons and daughters
to help all our barters,
To stop (D major) feeling blue
Keep (F sharp minor) the checks coming and
we (D major) won't bother you
Send (C major) your mother to
Shady (G major)
Acres
Send (C major) your father to
(G major) Shady
Acres
We'll (C major) take good care of them,
you (G major) won't be aware of them
Send (D major) them to shady acres (G major)
Yes, our homes so peaceful
They die while they're sleeping,
yes, (D major) right in their beds
Now there's no need for worry
We have our own mortuary
And a beautiful cemetery (G major)
Yes, we (C major) are good people
We care for the feeble
We've de (A minor) voted our lives
To the husbands and wives
Who don't (D major) want their fathers
Here on to be bothers
So send (F sharp minor) them where respectable (D major)
Send (C major) your mother to
Shady (G major)
Acres
Send (C major) your father to
(G major) Shady
Acres
We'll (C major) take good care of them
Because (G major) we love them
And send (D major) them to shady acres (G major) (D major) (G major)
Well the
Freudian doctors they tell (A major) me
Have no fear, (G major) it's not your fault (A major)
You're (G major) growing up bad (A major) because
Your par (G major) ents did you wrong (A major)
And I (D major) blame it on my parents, (G major)
on (D major) teachers in the school (B minor)
Till I remember once upon (D major) (F sharp minor) a time,
(B minor) they had parents too (F sharp minor)
I (A minor) think of who's to blame, (E minor)
and I (A minor) bow my head (E minor) in shame.
(E major)
