| This is a funky cyclical kinda song, that's also pretty simple to play. |
| Strum with a 1 1-2-3-1 rhythm (listen to the cd and you'll get it easy). |
| I like to play the first "E" in the series in open voicing, and the |
| second as a barre chord, for variety's sake. This is my first posting, |
| so bear with me. Comments/hoots of laughter to Chad (pimentec@sas.upenn.edu) |

| | A |
| She | swings a string of pearls on the corner |
| | E |
| The | streetlight reflects the light in the water |
| | D |
| The | string it snaps and the pearls go sailing |
| | E |
| And | they splash and they bounce and roll cross the wet street |
| | A |
| As s | he bends to chase the pearls a car swings round the corner |
| | E |
| She | darts from the eyes of the panic struck driver |
| | D |
| Who' | s racing to the delivery room |
| | E |
| Caus | e in the backseat his wife is busting out of her womb |
g----2-2-2-4---7-7-7-6--
| (On this set, switch to the second "E" at the end of the 3rd line) |
| And the sack breaks and out pops the siamese twins |
| Who grow up to become the first Presidents |
| With two heads--are better than one |
| He puts his heads in his hands says I gotta put my heads together |
| I can become the best President ever |
| And not just President fend for yourself |
| Interlude ADAD (w/wah effect over the chords-maintain during the verse) |
| He signs his name takes the blame for all of the names |
| With no shame they adjourn and they leave |
| And in walks a man with a |
| Broom and a knife and blood on his hands |
| And he sweeps everything under the rug |
| And goes home to his wife and gives her a hug |
| But his wife was not there she had just left a letter |
| That said you'd be much better off without me |
| And his wife took the train to her ex-lover's funeral |
| Who died in the bathroom hit his hhead on a urinal |
| When they got together the knowledge was carnal |
| And the widow was at the funeral and they had quite a catfight |
| And they fell into the hole, where the casket was resting |
| And the preacher just left in the middle of the service |
| Cause death he could handle, but women made him nervous |
| And he ran to the car and he drove round the corner |
| Then something in the street caught the light in his eyes |
| He pulled over and pulled a pearl from the gutter |
| He didn't know what to think |
| So he took it home and washed it in the sink |
| And he gave it to Sister Mary Theresa |
| Who could not accept it so she gave it to Lisa |
| A young prostitute who was missing a pearl |
| On the necklace she broke-late last night |
| Interlude w/riff til your hand falls off |
