A Cautionary Tale (Fender) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I won't [G]say anything more than that this is
one that falls in the true story [C]category.
It's called A Cautionary [G]Tale.
[C]["A[D] Wel[G]l,[C][D]
he walked [G]into her life
without [C]a warning.
He [Em]could say he threw himself
into [D]her car.
Sometimes takes [G]a desperate measure
to [C]be rescued.
Sometimes [Em]even desperate [D]measures
go too [G]far[Csus2][G]
[D]She took him [G]home,
she thought that he [C]looked hungry
[Em]She didn't stop to wonder if h[D]e'd stay
She cleaned [G]him up,
made sure he was[C]n't injured
And [Em]that dog's been with [D]us
ever since that [G]day
[C]An [D]d we called him Fend[G]er
[C]Just like my [D]guitar,
yeah, we named [G]him Fender
[C]He [G]threw him[Am]self into our[C] lives
when he threw [D]himsel
[C]f into [D]our [G]car[Csus2][G]
[D]Now, like many fol[G]ks,
we rented an [C]apartment
[Em]With no space for a growing
dog [D]to roam
Puppies [G]need a yard that they [C]can play in
[Em]And the next thing that [D]we knew
we'd bought [G]a home
And then Fender [Em]ate a pincushi[Bm]on
an[C]d a one -pound box of chocolate
He does[Em]n't like it when [Bm]we leave
[C]him home alone too long
[D]So now [Em]we take him with us
[Baug]almost e[Em]verywhere we g[A]o
He's [Am]waiting in the van
while I'm singing [D]you
this song
And we named him Fend[G]er
[C]Just like my guitar
[D]Yeah, we named [G]him Fend[C]er
He [G]threw himself [Am]into our [C]lives
When he threw [D]himsel[C]f in[D]to our [G]car[C][G]
[D]So now we'[G]ve got a
minivan an[C]d mortgage
And [Em]I guess it hasn't done
us too [D]much harm
But you never [G]know
where life is gonna [C]lead you
And [Em]if she hits a horse,
we'll [D]have to buy a [G]farm[C][G]
[G]
