[Intro]

E A E B7 E

[Verse 1]

                                E7
Mama makes the music and she makes the news
                      E7
She dances all night in her golden shoes
A7                       E7
She's high flying, going, going, gone
C#7                F#7                  B7                 E7
She'll be halfway to Heaven by the hour that the morning comes

[Verse 2]

                                E7
And papa's sacked out with his head in his lap
                             E7
Mama likes to think that he's taking a nap
A7                              E7
Because he's working so hard, working all night long
C#7                F#7              B7            E7
He'll be halfway to hell in the hour that the morning comes

[Chorus]

                             A7
Like a bat out of hell in the moonlight
                       E7
Like the pieces of the picture that you broke last night
                         A7
I'm sure it's gonna be all right
C#7                 F#7                   B7                       E7
I'll be halfway heavy by the hour that the morning comes

[Verse 3]

                            E7
Oh, look at that fool with the lampshade on
                          E7
Somebody told him he was having fun
A7                           E7
But they were wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
C#7              F#7                      B7                  E7
If he's a fool enough he might open his eyes when the morning comes along

[Verse 4]

                                E7
Now look at that secret agent man
                     E7
Sneaking out of church with blood on his hands
A7                         E7
He's for sale, going, going, gone
C#7              F#7                 B7               E7
He'll be the first to know and the last to go when the shit hits the fan

[Chorus]

                     E7
Gimme little water, gimme little wine
                             E7
You're looking at a man who's been out in the sunshine
A7                     E7
Just a little too long, little bit too long
C#7               F#7                B7                  E7
But I'll be halfway home in the hour that the morning comes

[Outro]

A7 E7 E A E B7 E
