Chord/Tab song: The Coming Home Party

[Verse]
[Dm]I used to be the first to laugh

When Mrs. Jennings took a bath
And left the window open for the [E]neighbors
But [Em]had we looked, we might have seen
That she was really [Dm]very clean
And [E]given her the credit of her [F#]labors[B]

[Chorus]
And Mr. [E]Jennings, where was he?
The man that [A]we had asked to see
And [E]who were we to think that it was [B]funny
When as she [E]raised her glass she said she wasn't [A]sure
He might be dead, or [B]somewhere making love to all his [E]money

[Verse]
She [Dm]held her breath expectantly

While everybody stared at me
As I approached to greet Miss Mary [E]Blooming (hello)
I [Em]tweaked her nose and kissed the tip

I wiped the powder from my lip
And [E]just because I did, it left her [F#]fuming[B]

[Chorus]
I almost [E]gave myself away when Captain [A]Graves came up to say...
[E]Glad to see me home and he was [B]tickled
And now I'm [E]sure I had excused the way I [A]used to be abused
[B]It was worth it all to see him [E]tickled

Ha ha ha! He he he! Ooh!

[Verse]
[Dm]The atmosphere was getting thick, the guy beside me looking sick
I would've helped, at least I thought I ought [E]to
He [Em]flashed me an appearing grin, I stopped and took the feeling in
I [E]wasn't sure, but something told me [F#]not to[B]

[Chorus]
I knew I [E]couldn't take much more, I started [A]making for the door
And [E]as I passed my date, I let her [B]kiss me
I grabbed my [E]coat and stepped outside
I stuck my [A]thumb out for a ride
De[B]parting knowing they would never [E]miss me

(Nighty night, little angels! Nighty night.)
