            F                  Bb 
Your mama's yapping in the backseat 
                 C                      F 
Tell her to push over and move them big feet 
                  Bb                      C                         F 
Every Monday morning I gotta drive her down to the unemployment agency 
C                           F                      Bb 
Well this morning I ain't fighting tell her I give up 
             C                        F  
Tell her she wins if she'll just shut up 
             Bb                   C                    F  Bb 
But it's the last time that she's gonna be riding with me 
 
F                              Bb                     C 
And you can tell her there's a hot sun beating on the black top 
                                             F 
She keeps talking she'll be walking that last block 
        Dm                                     C 
She can take a subway back to the ghetto tonight 
                F                       Bb 
Well I got some beer and the highway's free 
          C                       F 
And I got you and baby you've got me 
          Bb            C           F     Bb | F C 
Hey, hey, hey, what you say Sherry Darling 
 
            F                    Bb 
Now there's girls melting on the beach 
                C                  F 
And they're so fine but so out of reach 
            Bb                     C          F    C 
Cause I'm stuck in traffic down here on 53rd Street 
               F               Bb 
Now Sherry my love for you is real 
              C                     F 
But I didn't count on this package deal 
          Bb                 C                     F  Bb 
And baby this car just ain't big enough for her and me 
 
 
F                             Bb                     C 
So you can tell her there's a hot sun beating on the black top 
                                             F 
She keeps talking she'll be walking that last block 
        Dm                                     C 
She can take a subway back to the ghetto tonight 
                F                       Bb 
Well I got some beer and the highway's free 
          C                       F 
And I got you and baby you've got me 
          Bb            C           F     Bb | F C | 
Hey, hey, hey, what you say Sherry Darling

Well let there be sunlight let there be rain

Let the brokenhearted love again 
                 Dm                                     C 
Sherry we could run with our arms open wide before the tide 
            F                    Bb 
To all the girls down at Sacred Heart 
             C                     F 
And all you operators back in the park 
               Bb           C           F 
Say hey, hey, hey, what you say Sherry Darling
