(Capo on the first fret)
Intro:  G....Bm.....C

       G               Bm               C  (then walk it down)  Am           
Little boys and little girls dream of big, big things.  They're taught 
                         D                                      G
at a tender age just what life should bring.  Get a job say I do and 
  C (walk it down)         Am                                    D
settle yourself down.  But what about those of us whose lives are 

still spinnin' around.


(Chorus)
             C                               D                    G 
Tell me what's so great about picket fences.  Paintin' them's such a 
                   C                             D                      
mess.  And a big back yard where kids can play.  I'd probably 
   G                                             C                           D
never get a moment's rest.  And settin' the table for five at five.
          Bm                           A        C                             
  G
Only means more dishes to load.  What's so great about picket 
                 Am    D          G
fences.  I guess i'll never know.

G.....Bm.....C

(same as the first time)
Here i am in my prime at least they tell me so.  And if i go to sleep
at night I always go alone.  I guess that I could have it all and 
someone by my side.  But I can't take the give and take the price
is just too high.

(REPEAT CHORUS)
              C                              G                       Am
Tell me what's so great about picket fences.  I guess I'lllllllll
    D     G
 never know.
