The next verse uses the same chords as above:

I was an old man
I wanted an old woman
but I found a dog instead
She was fat and furry
She'd eat her meals in a hurry
She was nothing like Cracer
who ate very slow

Last verse (a double verse) over same chords as first verse (twice):
The trees started a conversation
They were talking about lifeboats
How could they get them and how much did they cost?
Money grows on trees you know
But they were too dumb to remember
osmosis
Then some kid came along with crayons and colored
one of the trees yellow and the other one burnt sienna
They wished she would have colored them
blue and gold
Then they melted into the sky
along with my dog
and me
Then they melted into the sky along with my dog and me
never to be seen again.
{Here is a very rough outline of the "solo" I did (I never did it quite the same every time
I always sort of "wung it" in sections) and I'm not paying any attention to "meter" in this tab,
just the basic notes, just to give a basic idea where I was playing it}
