D                     D
I miss the strawman, and dottie two
               G         
I've heard the lyin', the tinman's blue
              Em         G    D  / D(with open 1. and 3 string) / D
I've seen the witches, both good and bad, I'm glad I had
D         D
I held the rabbit, the rabbit died
              G         G
Talked to the preacher, the preacher lied
      Em       G
I held my mother, my mother cried
          D    / D(with open 1. and 3 string) / D
Cried for my father

[Chorus]
   D              D
And so please don't talk about life to me
      G                G
I've seen more than most people my age have seen
      Em        G
And there ain't no rules on how it's gotta be
     D  / D(with open 1. and 3 string) / D
Think again

       D                        D
Oh and please don't talk about love to me
            G               G
'Cause I've given love and I've received
    Em               G
And you know I'm gonna love just who I please
       D  / D(with open 1. and 3 string) / D
Think again

[Verse)
D                     D
I crossed an ocean and wrote this song
      G               G
A million people, but I can't find one
     Em            G      D    / D(with open 1. and 3 string) / D
I loved Katrina, but now she's gone, gone to my father
           D        D
This here's a story, I sing for you
        G            G
It may sound funny, but know it's true
       Em         G         D     / D(with open 1. and 3 string) / D
I hope you get it, before I'm through, I hope you do
