TO HER DOOR (Paul Kelly)

Intro: |G |D |C |G |
|G |D |C |G |

G D C G
They got married early, never had no money,
(G) D C G
Then when he got laid off, they really hit the skids,
(G) D C G

He started up his drinking, then they started fighting,
(G) D C G
He took it pretty badly, she took both the kids,
(G) Em D C D
She said: "I'm not standing by, to watch you slowly die,
C D G D
So watch me walking, out the door,
(D) C G D
Out the door, out the door,
C
She said "Shove it, Jack, you don't do that to a fucking girl!"

G D C G
She went to her brother's, got a little bar work,
(G) D C G
He went to the buttery, he stayed about a year,
(G) D C G
Then he wrote a letter, he said I want to see you,
(G) D C G
She thought he sounded better, she sent him up the fare,
(G) Em D C D
He was riding through the cane, in the pouring rain,
(D) C D G D
On Olympic, to her door.
(D) C G D C G
To her door, to her door, to her door.

(G)
And his heart was singin' like a low-down guitar

Lead break:
|G |D |C |G |
|G |D |C |G |
|G |D |C |G |
|G |D |C |G |

G D C G
He came in on a Sunday, every muscle aching,
(G) D C G
Walking in slow motion, like he'd just been hit,
(G) D C G
Did they have a future? Would he know his children?
(G) D C G
Could he make a picture and get them all to fit?
(G) Em D C D
He was shaking in his seat, riding through the streets,
(D) C D
In a silvertop, to her,
Em D C D
Shaking in his seat, riding through the streets,
(D) C D G D
In a silvertop, to her door.
(D) C G D C G
To her door, to her door, to her door.

Lead break (again), fade by 8th bar:
|G |D |C |G |
|G |D |C |G |
