To take care of his home

Chorus x 2

When it says Bb that means that chord is optional. The song also sounds closer to the

if you play the "A#'s" as barre chords at the 6th fret and you play the Bb's as barre

at the 1st fret. I realize that's kind of confusing, so just play it however's comfortable.

Also this sounds pretty close to the Randy Newman version, so if you like that one

try and play around with the chords to get it.
