Standard Tuning

(D A C G)x4

D A
Irma waits by the window,
C G
Vaguely looking down at her socks
D A
And humming. Possibly her
C G
Father will come home with a box
D C
Of chocolates. Possibly

C G

D A

C G

D C
Ears, Father's jeep crashes
D C
Through Irma's wall. She says
D A
Bad words as several hundred
C G
Boxes of her favorite kind
D A
Of chocolate fill her bedroom.
C G
But she doesn't actually mind
