I might break even Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Elf[Am][C]
Dilly has a three -legged
chicken named
Maxine.
[Am]Now,
Elf ain't [C]particularly proud of
[F]Maxine.
To tell you [C]the truth,
he's just a little bit ashamed.
You can't exactly [Am]blame him, though,
[C]because I doubt you'll find a grown [Am]man anywhere
[C]tha[Am]t enjoy[F]s walking dow[Am]n the street with a
three -legged chicken clucking after him.
[F]Most of us [G]thought that
Elf
Dilley would [C]be a millionaire
before [Am]he was 40,
but he's [C]had a streak of [Am]bad
luck [F]that'd sink [C]a boat.
First of all,
Elf had this cow that wandered in [G]his house
one [Am]afternoon [C]while he was [Am]gone
and ate up 35 pounds [C]of mothballs
and fell over in a dead [Am]faint.
Well, she knocked over a kerosene lamp an[F]d she
set the house [C]on fire and [Am]burned it to the ground
[C]and then it rained [Am]and washed
all the ashes [G]away [C]so
Elf got home and he
thought somebody [Am]stole [C]his house.
Well
Elf went running over to tell the sher[Am]iff
and he cut through
Winnie
Duncan's [F]backyard.
Now
Winnie is back [C]there sawing
on this big oak tree and it fell [G]and hit
Elf [C]right on the head and broke both his
[G]feet.
[F]Well
Winnie felt so bad about it that he gave
Elf an old [Am]set in and two
dozen [F]eggs.
[Am]And the next[C] week
Elf's hogs broke into [Am]his
still and after a [C]couple
hours of drinking, well,
they got pretty mean and tore down his fence and run [G]the
old setting [Am]hen [G]off.
[F]And the eggs got[Am] cold and [C]only
one of them hatched and
[G]that was
Max[C]ine and she had three [G]legs.
[C]Of course now we're all kind of doubt[G]ful
that
Elf
Dilly will be a millionaire
[F]by the he's [G]40.
[C]We're all just kind of hoping
that he'll break even this year.
My old barn's about to cave in
[G]It'll fall right on the house I'm in
My [C]barrel insurance is overdue again
Still I [F]might break [G]even this [C]year
Well, I got me a job, and I had it made I [G]worked three weeks,
but I didn't get paid
[C]Somebody stole my only chicken that laid
Still, [F]might break [G]even this
[C]year[G]
[C][F]
[G][C]
Well, a tax man say he don't
mean me no harm
But [G]if I don't [D]pay,
they're gonna [G]take my
farm
If [C]they do that, just as sure as you're born
I [F]might break [G]even this [C]year
A
Republican votes fifty cents in a wink
A
[G]Democrat [D]votes a dollar [G]an d a drink
If I [C]vote for them both I'll do better I think
And I [F]might break [G]even this
[C]year[Am][C][Am][C][Cm]
You
