            SONG:DEAR ABBY

[Verse 1]
G                         C            G           
Dear Abby, Dear Abby, my feet are too long
   G                           D    
My hair's falling out and my rights are all wrong
    G                                   C            G
My friends they all tell me, that i've no friends at all
 G                                     D          G
Won't you write me a letter, won't you give me a call

Dear Abby, Dear Abby, my fountain pen leaks
  G                          D
My wife hollers at me and my kids are all freaks
 G                             C            G
Every side I get up on is the wrong side of bed
 G                             D           G
If it weren't so expensive I'd wish I were dead
 C    D    G

[Verse 3]
 G                        C              G
Dear Abby, Dear Abby, you won't believe this
  G                           D
But my stomache makes noises whenever I kiss
 G                          C         G
My girlfriend tells me it's all in my head
  G                          D         G
But my stomache tells me to write you instead
 C    D    G

Dear Abby, Dear Abby, well I never thought
 G                               D
That me and my girlfriend would ever get caught
  G                                    C            G
We were sittin' in the back seat just shootin' the breeze
    G                                D            G
With her hair up in curlers and her pants to her knees
