Making Pies

INTRO: Am    F  Am    F  Am


It's not far, I can walk
F
Down the block to Table Talk
C                                G
Close my eyes, make the pies all day
Am
Plastic cap on my hair
  F
I used to mind, now I don't care
  C                                        G
I used to mind, now I don't care 'cause I'm gray


                    F             C
Did I show you this picture of my nephew?
             F               C
Taken at his big birthday surprise
      F                   C
At my sister's house last Sunday
        G
This is Monday and we're making pies
           Dm           F       C     G  F
I'm making pies, making pies, I-hi hi


Am
Thursday nights I go and type
F
Down the church with father Mike
   C                                G
It gets me out and he ain't hard to like at all
Am
Jesus stares at me in my chair with his
F
Big blue eyes and his honey brown hair and he's
C                                 G
Looking at me way up there on the wall


                    F             C
Did I show you this picture of my sweetheart?
         F             C
Taken of us before the war
       F                     C
Of the Greek and his Italian girl
    G
One Sunday at the shore
            F              C
We tied our ribbons to the fire escape
          G            F
They were taken by the birds
                     C
Who flew home to the country
       G                   F
As the bombs rained on the world


Am
5 a.m. here I am
F
Walking the block to Table Talk
          C                                G
You could cry or die or just make pies all day
           Dm          F
I'm making pies, making pies
           Dm          F      C  G  F    C  G    Am   G   F   Am
I'm making pies, making pies
