[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][Em][F][C][G][C]
[G]Up

[Verse 1]
[C]on
the [G]Newport [C]Ridge[G]
It's [F]there that I [C]lived
With my husband Joe and
a [G]couple of kids
He worked [C]the factory by day
[G]And the fie[F]lds by nig[C]ht
'Til they closed them both a [G]year ago July
[C]

[Verse 2]
They [G]came to take it all away
without a [F]how do you [C]do
The sheriff just walked in one day
Said now [G]Joe, you're [Em]through[G]
[C]Joe just caved in,
he [F]took the kids and he [C]went
But he left his gun an[G]d they
better not come again
[C]

[Verse 3]
[G]Now Joe[C] sends some money
[F]And sometimes he sends his [C]love
With a why don't you,
what is done is [G]done
Well, [C]me and Joe weren't much
But we [F]was what we [C]was
And when times got tough [G]you
know that seemed enough
[C]

[Verse 4]
They tried to [G]take it all away without
a [F]how do you [C]do
The sheriff just walked in one day
Said now Joe, [G]you're through
[C]Joe just caved in,
[G]he too[F]k the kids and he wen[C]t
But he left his gun an[G]d they better
not come again
[C]

[Verse 5]
[G]
[C]And sometimes at twilight,
[G]I s[F]it wit[Fm]h my pip[C]e
Look down the lane as
the cars go slowly [G]by
Even [C]people [G]I know,
[C]they don't com[F]e in to say hello
[C]To the crazy woman
liv[G]ing out on the line
[C]

[Verse 6]
But they tried to [G]take it away
without a [F]how do you do
[C]The sheriff just walked in one day
Said now Joe, [G]you're through
[C]Joe just gave in,
he [F]took the kids and he [C]went
But he left his gun [G]an d they
better not come [C]again
But he left his gun and they
[G]better not come again
[C]
