Verse 1
D 
Dm 
G 
Steve Little, Bucky Herdman,
D 
Paddle Ball, and Me
Drank two cases of beer one night,
G 
the VW hit a tree
A 
D 
Bucky  wound up in the emergency room,
G 
Gsus4 
G 
this was 64 or 5
D 
G 
Well our Harry's living in Florida now,
A 
D 
lucky to be alive
G 
A 
D 
G 
Oh, that hospital
A 
D 
Oh, that hospital
Well, my dad freaked out
G 
and he wound up there one Christmas way back
D 
when I remember going to see him,
G 
A 
he was my age now, back then
D 
I kept staring out of that window,
G 
Gsus4 
G 
I  could not look in his face
D 
He said, I won't be home for Christmas,
son
G 
A 
D 
You're gonna have to take my
G 
A 
D 
A 
D 
place at hospital
G 
A 
D 
Gonna stay there in that hospital
I was there getting 76 away
G 
D 
from what's happening to DNC
But in the end she couldn't
go through with it,
G 
A 
so three left she and me
D 
And that little girl who was born then,
G 
who escaped that scrape
Gsus4 
G 
with faith
D 
A few months ago in Montreal,
A 
D 
G 
I watched her graduate
A 
D 
That hospital
G 
A 
She was born in that hospital
D 
Yeah, my sister was born
in that hospital too
G 
D 
And now my mother's in there
I took the train to see her Lord
G 
A 
And I sat in that visitor's chair
D 
My mother was angry,
G 
so afraid this was not a blessed
Gsus4 
G 
event
D 
Now I'm riding back on that train,
G 
wondering where our lives went
A 
D 
That hospital
G 
A 
D 
I keep going back
I could wind up in there,
G 
maybe so could you
D 
Anything can happen
G 
when there's nothing we can do
A 
D 
And if you come to see me, Lord,
G 
you're sittin' in that visitor's chair
Gsus4 
G 
D 
Take something
home from that gift shop
A 
D 
so I'm you'll have a souvenir
G 
A 
from that hospital
