Topsy Turvy Rodney Crowell
This was done for a guitar tuned down a whole step, so these are the chord shapes
for that (i.e. if you want to do it the same key as the record, take it down to Bb).
TOPSY TURVY
(Rodney Crowell)
[C7]Daddy?s in the kitchen fryin? sauerkraut
[C7]Momma?s in the bedroom nearly all cried out
[C7]Daddy thinks that whiskey makes him big and smart
[C7]Momma thinks that daddy has a concrete heart
F5 A#5 F5 A#5 C7
I wish I had a brother or a sister whom to I could turn
[C7]Bustin? out the windows with a baseball bat
[C7]Daddy?s gone crazy as a bunk-house rat
[C7]Momma?s on the sofa with a big black eye
[C7]I cross my heart and tell myself ?I hope they die?
F5 A#5 F5 A#5 C7
I wish I had a nickel now for every time a cuss word flew
Dm7
Madhouse all topsy turvy
[Dm7]A ship of fools with scurvy
[C7]I don?t like a thing about the way we live
[C7]Moma?s on the pavement with a broken arm
[C7]Tellin? everybody daddy meant no harm
[C7]Talk about denial with a great big D
[C7]You can try to fool the neighbours but you can?t fool me
F5 A#5 F5 A#5 C7
I wish some kind of millionaire would come adopt me on the spot
[Dm7]Madhouse all topsy turvy
[Dm7]A ship of fools with scurvy
[C7]I don?t like a thing about the way we live
[G5]Police knock on our door
[G5]They?ve seen it all before
[F5]Why don?t you use restraint
[Eb5]We?ve had a few complaints
Now all[C7] the women up and down the block
[C7]Are tuning out the static with the front door locked
[C7]They greet us in the morning with a wave and grin
[C7]But you know they?re only waiting til the roof caves in
F5 A#5 F5 A#5 C7
I don?t even know if we can make it through another day
[Dm7]Madhouse all topsy turvy
[Dm7]A ship of fools with scurvy
[C7]I don?t like a thing about the way we live
[C7]I don?t like a thing about the way we live
[C7]I don?t like a thing about the way we live
[C7]I don?t like a thing about the way we live
[C7]I don?t like a thing about the way we live
[C7]I don?t like a thing about the way we live
