Am         Am
It was 29 years in dog years
         Am
since I see my little lady
         Am                        C        C
She was looking for a government friend of mine.

She looked all the time.

Just give me a place to go and I will follow you there.

[Chorus]
G                      G
Hit the bell with your elbow
    F                C
And come in from the rain.
G                   G          F             C
You can promise me nothing and I will do the same.
Am                  G                D                   D
I don't need you to fight for me and I don't need you to cry.
C                       Am
Hit the bell with your elbow yes
     G                         C
and come in with your hands up high.
