verse 

Em 
It's not far  
I can walk 
C 
Down the block 
To Table Talk 
G 
Close my eyes 
                  D 
Make the pies all day 

Em 
Plastic cap 
on my hair 
  C 
I used to mind 
Now I don't care 
  G 
I used to mind 
Now I don't care 
          D 
Cause I'm gray 
 


[Refrão]
                    C             G 
Did I show you this picture of my nephew 
             C               G 
Taken at his big birthday surprise 
      C                   G 
At my sister's house last Sunday 
        D 
This is Monday and we're making pies 
           Am 
I'm making pies 
       C 
Making pies 
  G  D Dsus4 D 
Pies 


2nd verse 

Em 
Thursday nights 
I go and type 
C 
Down at the church 
With Father Mike 
   G 
It gets me out 
                     D 
And he ain't hard to like 
At all 

Em 
Jesus stares at me 
In my chair 
         C 
With his big blue eyes 
And his honey brown hair 
         G 
And he's looking at me 
Way up there 
       D 
On the wall 
 


[Refrão]
                    C             G 
Did I show you this picture of my sweetheart 
         C             G 
Taken of us before the war 
        C             G 
Of the Greek and this Italian girl 
    D 
One Sunday at the shore 

            C              G 
We tied our ribbons to the fire escape 
           C7           G 
They were taken by the birds 
    C7               G 
Who flew home to the country 
       C                   G       (D) 
As the bombs rained on the world 


3rd verse 

Em 
5am 
Here I am 
C 
Walking the block 
To Table Talk 
          G 
You could cry or die 
                       D 
Or just make pies all day 

           Am 
I'm making pies 
       C 
Making pies 
       Am 
Making pies 
       C 
Making pies    

  G     D     C 
ahaa, ahaa, ahaa 
  G     D     C 
ahaa, ahaa, ahaa
