She'd Rather Be Homeless
Waylon Jennings

Capo 4
It was our G 25th anni D versa G ry and I was w C atching the Super G Bowl
When suddenly she started cursing me. Hell, I almost d A7 ropped my remote cont D rol
And she s C aid "That's that" and gr G abbed her hat and he D aded out into the s G now
And C that was almost t D wo long years a G go
1. Now see her s G huffling d D own the str G eet, Combat b C oots on her dainty f G eet
3. She said all my friends were dumb, And she called me "Yuppee scum"
4. I see her sitting on her full length mink, And as I walk by she winks
1. Pushing her belongings in a c A7 art from the A& D P
3. She said she didn't give a damn 'bout my BMW or my AT&T
4. Saying "Spare some change for a lady, a lady who's finally free"
1. See her b G umming c D igaret G tes, On the s C idewalk where she sits
3. She said to take these credit cards of mine, And stick'm whar the sun don't shine
4. She don't want my bonds and stocks, Living in her cardboard box
1. Lord, she'd r G ather be homeless, than h D ere at home with G me
3. Cause she'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me
4. Oh, she'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me
2. She'd r C ather be sleeping in some do G orway, Than lolling in the lap of lu D xury
5. She'd rather eat soup down at the shelter Than at the C.C. sipping fine Chablis
2. And when the c G old wind st D arts to b G low, L C ord, it hurts me so to know
5. And as I throw her a dime, Lord, it breaks this heart of mine to know
2. She'd r G ather be homeless, than h D ere at home with G me
5. She'd rather be homeless, than here at home with me
