Tuning: Standard E

[Intro]
B  F# E  F#

[Verse 1]
B           F#            E       F#
I saw you standing at the airport
B             F#            E    F#
With your chihuahua in your hand
B        F#           E        F#
Crying on the moving sidewalk
B         F#         E       F#
On your way to Disneyland

[Chorus]
          B       F#   E
And the flowers she sent 
F#      B                F#  E       
And the flowers she said she sent
    F#     B  F#  E 
Are all equally dead
    F#     B          F#    E
You don't care anymore, she said
F#          B  F#  E
And the books she read 
F#       B                   F#  E
And the books that she said she read
    F#   B       F#   E    
Are all spread on the floor
    F#    B              F#  E    F#      
You don't get out of bed anymore

[Interlude]
B  F# E  F#

[Verse 2]
B            F#            E          F#
I saw you closing your antique shop
B      F#               E       F#
With a boa 'round your throat
B          F#             E      F#
And you tremble like an ostrich
B          F#            E      F#
In your ostrich feather coat

[Chorus]
          B       F#   E
And the flowers she sent 
F#      B                F#  E       
And the flowers she said she sent
    F#     B  F#  E 
Are all equally dead
    F#     B          F#    E
You don't care anymore, she said
F#          B  F#  E
And the books she read 
F#       B                   F#  E
And the books that she said she read
    F#   B       F#   E    
Are all spread on the floor
    F#    B              F#  E    F#      
You don't get out of bed anymore

[Outro]
B  F# E  F# B
