Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
Goodbye Earl
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A D
Mary Ann and Wanda were the best of friends
A E
All through their high school days
A D
Both members of the 4H club
A E A
Both active in the FFA
A D
After graduation Mary Ann went looking
A E
For a bright new world
A D
Wanda looked all around this town
A E A
And all she found was Earl
[Verse 2]
A D
Well it wasn't two weeks after she got married that
A E
Wanda started getting abused
A D
She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses
A E A
And make up to cover a bruise
A D
Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce
A E
She let the law take it from there
A D
But Earl walked right through that restraining order
A E A
And put her in intensive care
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F# E
Right away Mary Ann flew in from Atlanta
D A
On a red eye midnight flight
F# E
She held Wanda's hand as they worked out a plan
D E
And it didn't take them long to decide
[Chorus 1]
A D
That Earl had to die
A E D
Goodbye Earl
A D
You're feeling weak
A E D A
Why don’t you lay down and sleep Earl
[Verse 3]
A D
The cops came by to bring Earl in
A E
They searched the house high and low
A D
Then they tipped their hats and said thank you ladies
A E A
If you hear from him let us know
A D
Well the weeks went by and spring turned to summer
A E
And summer faded into fall
A D
And it turns out he was a missing person
A E A
That nobody missed at all
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F# E
So the girls bought some land and a roadside stand
D A
Out on Highway 109
F# E
They sell Tennessee ham and strawberry jam
D E
And they don't lose any sleep at night
[Chorus 2]
A D
Cause Earl had to die
A E D
Goodbye Earl
A D
We need a break
A E D
Let's go out to the lake Earl
A D
We'll pack a lunch
A E D
Stuff you into the trunk Earl
A D
Well is that all right
A E D A
Good let's go for a ride Earl, Hey!
