A Better Place to Be Harry Chapin capo 2
D Dmaj7 D7 Gmaj7
It was an early morning barroom and the place had just opened up
Em Em/D# Em/D Em A7
And a little man came in so fast and he started at his cups
D Dmaj7 D7 Gmaj7
And the broad who served the whiskey she was a big old friendly girl
Em Em/D# Em/D Em A7
Who tried to fight her empty nights by smiling at the world
^ G A F#m Bm
And she said "Hey, bub, it's been a while since you've been around
Em A G G/F# D
Where the hell you been hiding and why you look so down
G A G A D D5 D
But, the little man just sat there like he'd never heard a sound
^ Cm G
The waitress she gave out a cough
Bb F Em A
And acting not the least put off she spoke once again
D G Em Em/D# Em/D
She said "I don't want to bother you consider it's understood
A Em A Em A7sus4 D
I know I'm not no beauty queen But I su-ure can listen good
G F#m A
And the little man took his drink in his hand
Em D G D
And he raised it to his lips He too-k a couple sips
Em Em7 A D D5 D D5 D
And then he tol--d the waitress this story
^ D Am C G D D5 D D5 D
I am the midnight watchman down at Miller's Tool and Die
G F#m Bm Cmaj7
And I watch the metal rusting and I watch the time go by
G G F#m Bm
A week ago at the diner I stopped to get a bite
Em A G G/F# Em7 A11 D D5 D D5 D
And this here lovely lady she sat two seats from the right
G G/F# Em Em7 D
And Lord, lord, lord, she was alright
^ D Am C G D D5 D
Well she was so damn beautiful that she could warm a winters frost
G F#m Bm Cmaj7
But she looked long past lonely and well nigh onto lost
A G F#m Bm
Now I'm not much of a mover or a pick'em up easy guy
Em A G G/F# Em7 D D5 D
But I decided to glide on over and give her one good try
G G/F# Em Em Em7 D
And Lord, lord, lord she was worth a try
^ D Am C G D
Tongue tied like a schoolboy, I stammered out some words
G F#m Bm Cmaj7
It did not seem to matter much 'cause I don't think she heard
A G F#m B7
She just looked clear on through me to a space in the back of my head
Em A G G/F# Em7 D
It shamed me into silence as quietly she said (slowly)
D Asus4 G G/F# Em
If you want me to come with you then that's all right with me
A Em7
'Cause I know I'm going no-where
A Em7 A7sus4 D
And anywhere's a better place to be
A Em7 A7sus4 D
And anywhere's a better place to be
D Dmaj7 D7 Gmaj7
I drove her to my boarding house And I took her up to my room
Em Em/D# Em/D Em A7
And I went to turn on the only light to brighten up the gloom
Dm A Em Asus4 D
But she said, "Please leave the light off, Oh, I don't mind the dark
F
And as her clothes all tumbled 'round her
Asus4 A Asus4 A
I could hear my heart
(regular speed)
^ D Am C G D D5 D D5 D
The moonlight shone upon her as she lay back in my bed
G F#m Bm Cmaj7
It was the kind of scene I only had imagined in my head
A G F#m Bm
I just could not believe it to think that she was real
Em A G Em7 (slowly) D
And as I tried to tell her, she said "Ssssh, I know just how you feel
D Asus4 G G/F# Em
If you want me to come with you then that's all right with me
A Em7
Cause I've been oh so lonely
A Em7 A7sus4 D
And anywhere's a better place to be
A Em7 A7sus4 D
And anywhere's a better place to be
(regular speed)
^ D Am C G D D5 D D5
Well the mornin' came so swiftly I held her in my arms
G F#m Bm Cmaj7
And she slept like a baby, snug and safe from harm
G F#m Bm
I did not want to share her or dare to break the mood
Em A G Em7 A11 D
So before she woke I went out to buy us both some food
Dm ^ A G Asus4 A
I came back with my paper bag to find that she was gone
F (slowly) G G/F# D A G D
She'd left a six-word letter sayin' "It's time that I moved on"
(slowly)
D Dmaj7 D7 Gmaj7
The waitress she took her bar rag and she wiped it across her eyes
Em Em/D# Em/D Em A7
And as she spoke her voice came out as something like a sigh
D Dmaj7 D7 Gmaj7
She said I wish that I was beautiful or that you were halfway blind
Em Em/D# Em/D Em A7
And I wish I weren't so God-dog fat, I wish that you were mine
G A F#m Bm
And I wish that you'd come with me when I leave for home
Em Em7 A G G/F# D
For we both know all 'bout loneliness and livin' all a--lone
Em Em7 F#m (barr)A
And the little man (pause) looked at the empty glass in his hand
Em Em7 D
And he smiled a crooked grin
Em7 D Em7 F#m G A
He said "I guess I'm out of gin and I know we both have been so lonely
D G G G/F# Em
And if you want me to come with you then that's all right with me
A Em7 A Em A7sus4 D
'Cause I know I'm going no-where and anywhere's a better place to be Dmaj7 - Gmaj7 - D
