Goodbye Earl

[Intro]
A# A# D#
A#  D#  A#  F  D#


[Verse]
A#                   
  Mary Anne and Wanda
          D#
were the best of friends
A#                             F
All through their high school days
A#                   D#
Both members of the 4H club
     A#             F  A#
Both active in the FFA
A#                     
  After graduation Mary
  D#             A#
Anne went out lookin'
                 F
for a bright new world
A#                 D#
Wanda looked all around this town
    A#       F         A#
And all she found was Earl


[Verse]
        A#
Well it wasn't two weeks
          D#
After she got married that
A#                      F
Wanda started gettin' abused
           A#            
  She put on dark glasses
     D#
and long sleeved blouses
    A#          F       A#
And make up to cover a bruise
         A#               
  Well she finally got the
          D#
nerve to file for divorce
    A#                        F
She let the law take it from there
    A#                         
  But Earl walked right through
         D#
that restraining order
    A#            F       A#
And put her in intensive care


[Pre-chorus]
       Gm            
  Right away Mary Anne
      F
flew in from Atlanta
     D#                A#
On a red eye midnight flight
         Gm
She held Wanda's hand as they
F
Worked out a plan
       D#           
  And it didn't take
               F    \
'em long to decide


[Chorus]
                 A#   D#  A#
That Earl had to die
    F   D#
Goodbye Earl
                 A#    D#   A#
Those black-eyed peas
D#           A#            F  D#
They tasted all right to me Earl
               A#
You're feelin' weak
D#             A#
Why don't you lay down
    F     D#
And sleep Earl
         A#
Ain't it dark
D#       A#          F    D#
Wrapped up in that tarp Earl


[Bridge]
A# D# 2x


[Verse]
A#                   D#
The cops came by to bring Earl in
A#
They searched the house
         F
High and low
          A#
Then they tipped their hats
          D#                   
  And said: thank you ladies if
     A#             F      A#
you hear from him let us know


[Verse]
         A#
Well the weeks went by and
 D#
Spring turned to Summer
    A#                 F
And Summer faded into Fall
       A#            
  And it turns out he
       D#
was a missing person
    A#      F         A#
Who nobody missed at all


[Pre-chorus]
       Gm
So the girls bought some land
      F
And a roadside stand
D#                A#
Out on Highway 109
          Gm
They sell Tennessee ham
     F
And strawberry jam
         D#
And they don't
                  F
Lose any sleep at night 'cause


[Chorus]
            A#   D#   A#
Earl had to die
    F   D#
Goodbye Earl
          C    \
We need a break
D#        A#          F    D#
Let's go out to the lake Earl
             A#
We'll pack a lunch
D#         A#          F     D#
And stuff you in the trunk Earl
                 A#
Well is that all right
D#          A#        F
Good Let's go for a ride
D#         A#
Earl Hey
