  			Intro: Am    F  Am    F  Am 


It's not far, I can walk 
F 
Down the block to table talk 
C                                G 
Close my eyes, make the pies all day 
Am 
Plastic cap on my hair 
  F 
I used to mind now I don't care 
  C                                       G 
I used to mind now I don't care 'cause I'm great 


                    F             C 
Did I show you this picture of my nephew? 
             F               C 
Taken at his big birthday surprise 
      F                   C 
At my sister's house last Sunday 
        G 
This is Monday and we're making pies 
           Dm           F       C     G  F 
I'm making pies, making pies, I-hi hi 


Am 
Thursday nights I go and type 
F 
Down the church with father Mike 
   C                                G 
It gets me out and he ain't hard to like at all 
Am 
Jesus stares at me in my chair with his 
F 
Big blue eyes and his honey brown hair and he's 
C                                 G 
Looking at me way up there on the wall 


                    F             C 
Did I show you this picture of my sweetheart? 
         F             C 
Taken of us before the war 
       F                     C 
Of the Greek and his Italian girl 
    G 
One Sunday at the shore 
            F              C 
We tied our ribbons to the fire escape 
          G            F 
They were taken by the birds 
                     C 
Who flew home to the country 
       G                   F 
As the bombs rained on the world 


Am 
5 a.m. here I am 
F 
Walking the block to table talk 
          C                                G 
You could cry or die or just make pies all day 
           Dm          F       
I'm making pies, making pies 
           Dm          F      C  G  F    C  G    Am   G   F   Am 
I'm making pies, making pies
