CAPO 5
INTRO: G C G C
VERSE 1:
Linda works the diner pourin’
coffee slingin’ hash
She said, “
I wouldn’t have come in today but I
really need the
cash”
I know I can’t fool anyone ’cause dark
glasses tell no lies
But
make-up won’t cover up a b
lackened e
ye” Ohhh
no
VERSE 2:
You see,
Jimmy works construction now but
yesterday it rained
So he
went down to the liquor store and
by noon he felt no
pain
I came in an hour late then I
let his supper burn
Well he
hit the roof hit the wall and
then it was my
turn”
CHORUS:
He said “
A man’s
home is his
castle
It always has
been
and so it
remains”
Bu
t he holds the
keys in a
fist of
rage
His home is his
castle and
mine is a
cage
VERSE 3:
Someone much have heard the noise
then they dialed 911
And the cop that showed up at the door asked,”
Is there a problem
son?”
Jimmy smiled and said “No sir, just a
little fight that’s all
Hey you know how it get’s sometimes when you’re
layin’ down the
law”,Ohhh
no
VERSE 4:
So I pulled out my suitcase I started
packin’ up my clothes
And Jimmy said ‘Now Linda, where do you
expect to go with
those’
I told him ‘I have tried, but not an
ounce of love survives’
Well he grabbed my wrist and shouted you’re not
leavin’ here
alive”
VERSE 5:
She said “I’m savin’ up my money and when I
get the nerve I’ll run
But Jim don’t give up easily so I
intend to buy a
gun
He will never see the way he
treats me is a crime
Somebody oughta lock him up but
I’m the one “
Who’s done the time”
CHORUS:
He said “
A man’s
home is his
castle
It always has
been
and so it
remains”
But he holds the
keys in a
fist of
rage
G D G C G fade-
His home is his castle and mine is a cage
