"hand o ver that rabbit fur coat"...
[[repeat the same thing for the rest of the verses]]
<>
C Am C Am
I was of poor folk,
C Am D G
but my mother had a rabbit fur coat.
G G C C
And a girl of less character pushed her down the LA river.
C G C Am C Am
"Hand over that rabbit fur coat"
C Am C Am
She put a knife to her throat
C Am D G
'Hand over that rabbit fur coat'
G G C C
When my ma refused, the girl kicked dirt on her blouse.
C G C Am C Am
"Stay away from my mansion house."
C Am C Am
My mother really suffered for that.
C Am D G
Spent her life in a gold plated body cast.
G G C C
Now, you ask, did she get that girl back?
C G C Am C Am
She payed a visit to that mansion house.
C Am C Am
She knew the girl was not there,
C Am D G
but her father was in cufflinks with slicked-back black hair
G G C G
He invited her in. They never sang a note,
C G C Am C Am
but she took off that rabbit fur coat.
C Am C Am
And who do you think came home?
C Am D G
Miss So and So
G G C C
She took one look at my mama and what did she say?
C G C
"Why are you stealing from my mansion house?"
C Am C Am
"No, I'm in love with Mr. So and So
C Am D G
He invited me in. I'm a girl no more."
G G C C
Then she dragged my ma out by her throat.
C G C Am C Am
"Hand over that rabbit fur coat."
C Am C Am
Let's move ahead twenty years, shall we?
C Am D G
She was waitressing on welfare. We were living in the Valley.
G G C C
A lady says to my ma "you treat your girl as your spouse.
C G C
You can live in a mansion house."
C Am C Am
And so we did,
C Am D G
and I became a hundred-thousand-dollar kid.
G G C (strum once (pause)
When I was old enough to realize; wiped the dust from my mother's eyes...
C G C Am C Am
It's all this for that rabbit fur coat.
C Am C Am
But I'm not bitter about it
C Am D G
I've packed up my things and let them have at it,
G G C C
and the fortune faded, as fortunes often do,
C G C Am C Am
and so did that mansion house.
C Am C Am
Where my ma is now, I don't know.
C Am D G
She was living in her car. I was living on the road,
G G C C
and I hear she's putting that stuff up her nose,
C G C Am C Am
and still wearing that rabbit fur coat.
C Am C Am
But mostly I'm a hypocrite
C Am D G
I sing songs about the defecit,
G G
but when I sell out and leave Omaha,
C C (strum, pause)
what will I get?
C G C C
a mansion house and a rabbit fur coat.
:D The End. this song is amazing.
