Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
My dress shoes on
The well-kept cemetery lawn
Both of them weeping
Their one good son now was gone
Chorus
And all the while
The good Lord smiled
And looked the other way
And looked the other way
When we were kids
I did my best to make them proud
It just wasn't in me
I could not fly straight to save my life
Chorus
Their big success is not their biggest failure
Their golden child has been dethroned
Their reputation is now in ruins
Their tower to heaven has come tumbling down
