Capo 3rd Fret

Now, there's a certain thing
           Em
That I learned from Jim
G                                                           D
That he'd always make sure I'd understand
        G
And that is that there's a certain way
    Em
That a man must swim
             C
If he expects to live off
                           D
Of the fat of the land.


                       Am
        Open the door, Homer,

        I've heard it said before.

        Open the door, Homer,

        I've heard it said before
                  C                                       G
        But I ain't gonna hear it said no more.


Now, there's a certain thing
That I learned from my friend, Mouse
A fella who always blushes
And that is that ev'ryone
Must always flush out his house
If he don't expect to be
Goin' 'round housing flushes.

        Open the door, Homer,
        I've heard it said before.
        Open the door, Homer,
        I've heard it said before
        But I ain't gonna hear it said no more.

"Take care of all your memories"
Said my friend, Mick
"For you cannot relive them
And remember when you're out there
Tryin' to heal the sick
That you must always
First forgive them."

        Open the door, Homer,
        I've heard it said before.
        Open the door, Homer,
        I've heard it said before
        But I ain't gonna hear it said no more.
