A Funny Thing Happened in the Valet Parking

[billroper]

daisy_knotwise, catalana, and I went to the Outback Steakhouse over on Higgins for dinner before dropping her at Union Station because the restaurant was close to the highway. Due to the odd configuration of parking, they have a complimentary valet service. I didn't pay much attention to what was on the ticket left in the car at the time, but noticed it as I was taking it out tonight:

The back of the ticket reads: "My lawyer has instructed me not to talk to anyone about my case or anything else and not to answer questions or reply to accusations persuant to my rights under the Fifth and Sixth Amendments. I shall talk to no one in his absence and I will not give any consent or make any waivers of any legal right. Any requests for information or for consent to conduct searches or seizures or investigations affecting my person, papers, property, or effects should be addressed to my lawyer whose name, address and phone number are on the other side of this card. I do not consent to any questioning, confrontations, test, examination, or investigations."

On the front of the ticket is an ad for a lawyer.

Do you think there may be a few patrons leaving the restaurant in an overserved condition?

Don't worry about tidying the room. We were going to strip the bed anyway before the next guest arrived and, in fact, daisy_knotwise has already done so.

On the subject of Not Everybody Dies, will the link help? (Not as good as punched and ready for songbook, true...)

Hey! Right there on your webpage! Wouldn't it have been clever if I'd thought to look? *sigh* Thanks, though!

(And I figured you'd strip the bed but I still try to leave things in a presentable heap. *grin*)

By the way - what's the chord in the, umm, fourth line? Do you just stick with the Am from the previous line?

If I get stuck on the chords you may get a plaintive email from me going "Bill...how do I play an X-minor 7th?" *grin*

[billroper]

Yup, still the Am.

The quick guide to the odd chords in this song:

C9 -- play a standard C chord. Add a D on the second string with your little finger.

Am7/G -- play a standard C chord. Remove the third finger from the fifth string. Add the fourth finger on the first string, third fret to add the G.

Em7/D -- second finger, fifth string, second fret; fourth finger, second string, third fret.

E7/D -- same as the previous chord, but add the first finger, third string, first fret.

Does that work? They're a collection of relatively open chords, since all of these chords can be played using more fingers... :)
