From this awesome mellow live version
Album version is in C (so verse starts with C)
[Intro] D Em7
[Verse 1]
G
I'm closer to the Golden Dawn
D
Immersed in Crowley's uniform of imagery
G
I'm living in a silent film
D
Portraying Himmler's sacred realm of dream reality
Bb
I'm frightened by the total goal
C
I'm drawing to the ragged hole
D Bm G [Gsus]
And I ain't got the power anymore
G D Em7 E7sus E
No I ain't got the power anymore
[Verse 2]
A
I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes
E [Esus]
I'm living proof of Churchill's lies, I'm destiny
A
I'm torn between the light and dark
E [Esus]
Where others see their targets, divine symmetry
C
Should I kiss the viper's fang
D
Or herald loud the death of Man
E C#m A
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
A E [Esus]
And I ain't got the power anymore
[Chorus]
E B C#m
Don't believe in yourself
Bbdim (xx2323) B
Don't deceive with belief
Bdim (xx3434) F#m
Knowledge comes with death's release
Bbdim(xx2323) E
Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah
C#m B
Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaaha
[Verse 3]
A
I'm not a prophet or a stone age man
E
Just a mortal with potential of a superman, I'm living on
A
I'm tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien
E
Can't take my eyes from the great salvation of bullshit faith
C
If I don't explain what you ought to know
D
You can tell me all about it on the next Bardo
E C#m A
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
A E
And I ain't got the power anymore
[Chorus]
E B C#m
Don't believe in yourself
Bbdim (xx2323) B
Don't deceive with belief
Bdim (xx3434) F#m
Knowledge comes with death's release
Bbdim(xx2323) E
Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah
C#m B
Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaaha
[repeat chorus to taste]
Capo 1 for original key (or here sounds better). Heres an odd cover version in C.
Can get that Happy Trails "Bom ba-di da bum" bass going with the G6 (E3 D0 D2) if want to make it slow and finger picky
G
Heres to good friends, tonight is kinda special,
C [Am]

G G/F# Em

D [0101] D7

[Verse 2]
G

C [Am]
Raise your glass,
G G/F# Em
heres to health and happiness,
D [0101] D7
So tonight, tonight, tonight
Let it be all the best
(Announcer:)
When youre with good friends having good times
Dont just have a beer,
Have a Lowenbrau
Because good friends and good times deserve a great beer
And theres really only one
Lowenbrau.
Not really by Snooks, but its unknown. Louis Armstrong made it famous in 1928 but I love the Snooks version.
Chord voicings, all nice in first position, but can use other positions for the jams.
Interesting: The E7b9 is being used instead of the usual Bb7 that I've been using... Nice.

Lots of inveresions adding flavor. And a lot of the song is the specific G shape (3x0003) (with pinky on high E and ring on low E) to the G/C shape (3x2013), as in the intro riff. During the start of verses keep that shape too. Good tutorial from Privettricker here.

Sunday came and trashed me out again.

I was only having fun, wasn't hurting anyone
E A
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change.

I've been stranded in the combat zone, I walked through Bedford Stuy alone

Even rode my motorcycle in the rain.
Bm G
And you told me not to drive, but I made it home alive

So you said that only proves that I'm insane.

You may be right, I may be crazy

You may be wrong for all I know, But you may be right.

A
Remember how I found you there, alone in your electric chair
E7
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
Bm G
You were lonely for a man, I said "Take me as I am"
E A
'Cause you might enjoy some madness for awhile
A
Now think of all the years you tried to find someone to satisfy you
E7
I might be as crazy as you say
Bm G
If I'm crazy then it's true, that it's all because of you
E A
And you wouldn't want me any other way
[Chorus]
E A
You may be right, I may be crazy
E D F#m A
Oh but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
E A
Its too late to fight, its too late to change me.

Great cover by Multu. See the arrangement below this for his version, which is better I think.
Ab7+5 = 4x455x
F#11 = 2x210x
G#11 = 4x432x
Fm7b5 = x8989x or xx3444
[Intro]
F#M7 BM7 C#M7
La la la la la la, La la la la la la
[Verse 1]
Ab7+5 C#M7 F11 or [F#7sus F#7] BM7 G#7sus G#7 [or G11]
My cherie amour, lovely as a summer day
C#M7 F#7sus BM7 G#7sus G#7 [or 4x4322]
My cherie amour, distant as the milky way
F#M7 Ab13 [or G#7sus or G#11] Fm7b5/Cb or B9]
My cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
A#9 [or A#7] D#9
You're the only girl my heart beats for
G#13 C#M7 G#7#5 [or G#13-9]
How I wish that you were mine
[Verse 2]
In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I've been near you, but you never noticed me
My cherie amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore
That behind that little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine
[Intro]
La la la la la la, La la la la la la
La la la la la la, La la la la la la
[Verse 3]
[A7 to modulate, then up a half step]
Maybe someday, you'll see my face among the crowd
Maybe someday, I'll share your little distant cloud
Oh, cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine
[Intro]
La la la la la la, La la la la la la
La la la la la la, La la la la la la
Or from that Multu (link):
F#M7 = 2x332x
BM7 = x2434x
C#M7 = x4656x
Ab7+5 = 4x455x
F#11 = 2x210x
G#11 = 4x432x
D#9 = x65666
Not sure what you'd call these two. Sound good as regular 9 chords tho.
B9 = x24222 (or x21222)
Bb9? = x13111
And he does a hammer-on fill with his pinky on the BM7 and C#M7 shape.
Can use F#sus and G#sus instead of F#11 and G#11 if playing and singing.
[Ab7+5] My cherie [C#M7] amour, [F#11] lovely as a summer [BM7] day [G#11]

Just lyrics:

Original is in F# (maybe E capo 2). I like this version in F though (or nice ot use that version to find the vocal position). Actually I like F# better I think. Check vocal memo for placement maybe

C#7 F#
Getting lost in her lovin' is your first mistake

Original version was in Bb, but I like the later versions in A like this
Nice to do the A7 on 5th fret so can do alternating bass with low E. And can slide up for that funky sound.
And D7 on 5th fret and alternating bass with A5
On chorus the harmony on "born in arizona" is high E and B
Intro A7:
|--------------------------------0--------------|
|---0-1----0-1----0-1-0------0-1---0-1----------|
|-2------2------2-------2--2------------2-------|
|-------------------------------------------2---|
|----------------------------------------------0|
|-----------------------------------------------|
[A7 with alternating bass to E. Can do on 5th fret]
Now when he was a young man,
He never thought he'd see
People stand in line to see the boy king. [(E) King Tut]
How'd you get so funky? [Funky Tut]
Did you do the monkey?
E7 D7 A7
[Born in Arizona, Moved to Babylonia, King Tut]
[Verse 2]
[King Tut] Now, if I'd known,
They'd line up just to see him,
I'd take in all my money
And bought me a museum. [King Tut]
Buried with a donkey [Funky Tut]
He's my favorite honky!
E7
[Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia, King Tut]
[titty over a verse with these words. Or skip words.]
[A7 on xxx989]
Dancin' by the Nile, (Disco Tut)
The ladies love his style, (Waltzing Tut)
Rockin' for a mile (Rockin' Tut)
He ate a crocodile.
He gave his life for tourism.
[Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia, King Tut]
[verse 3]
Now when I die,
Now don't think I'm a nut,
Don't want no fancy funeral,
Just one like ole king Tut.[King Tut]
He coulda won a Grammy, [Funky Tut]
Buried in his jammies,
[final chorus]
He was Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia,
He was born in Arizona, Got a condo made of stone-a, King Tut
Ending chord: A7 or A beatles on 12
Awesome little lesson, and great for getting the melody. And interesting study of the song is here. And good chord chart with some variations.
I have the sheetmusic for this, but not sure it's right (was transposed from F)
Usual key is Fm.
Interesting voicings:
Dm6 xx0201
Em6 022023
Dm6 Fdim (13th fret) Em6 [can repeat again next line]
You don't know what love is
Dm6 [Gm6 or Dm6/C] Bb7 or Bdim or A7+ [or x7676x] A7 [or A+]
'Til you've learned the meaning of the blues
Gm6 [Gm/7] Bbdim Dm6 [Dm6/C]
Until you've loved a love you've had to lose,
Fdim Em6 Dm6
You don't know what love is.
You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost,
You don't know what love is.
Bridge:
Gm7 F#7 Fmaj7 F6
Do you know how a lost heart fears
Gm7 C7 Fmaj7
At the thought of rem - i - nis - cing,
Bm7 E9 Amaj7 A7
And how lips that taste of tears
Bb9 A9
Lose their taste for kissing?
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies.
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes,
You don't know what love is.

Its fairly well know in the place I call home I like girls with an ass that is roomy.
I met and old slut with a very large butt. She said, Son, for 10 bucks you can do me.
The bathroom wall said that she gave some good head and for a good time to call her this evnin
I was worried though that I just didnt know If Id wind up with some dude name Steven.
I gave her a call and we went to the mall and we enjoyed a couple of Slurpees.
Was two days or more, I was pretty damn sore. I found out, the old bag gave me herpes.
Her hair was dyed she didnt have a good side. She had moved from some place near Boston.
When I got her home and she took of her clothes well my cookies I just about tossed em.
Her bush when she turned, looked like an over grown fern in desperate need of some water.
Her elbows and knees had some scabby disease and her mustache looked like Sergeant Slaughters.
I turned off the lights, cause if looked at her right I feel like my eyes would start failin.
But I ran outside as my lunch began to slide. And I vomited over the railin.
I went back inside to finish my ride, sayin Betty its been good to know ya.
She said not so fast bro, theres somethin you should know, now come here I got somethin to show ya.
The skin looked all wrong right up next to her thong it was red and it looked irritated
Felt and itch on my crank, and then my heart just sank, aww damn I shoulda just masturbated.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes when you pee and feels just like acid.
Was two week ago that I slept with that hoe, and my penis, now it just stays flaccid.
You might like this song and you might sing along and you may even think that its funny.
But you wouldnt know if every time you go theres a discharge thats white and real runny.
My tale now spans all across this great land from Maine all the way to the Rockies.
My penis now steams like a cappuccino machine and it keeps burning holes in my jockys.
That filthy old hoe lives in Detroit they say and its doubtful that anyones carin.
Her career high she banged 29 guys on the hood of her Chrysler LeBaron.
The Doctors all say that smell wont go away, like some shrimp thats been shipped here from China.
I tried Listerine even used Listerine but my nuts still smell like filthy vagina.

We are the champions, we are the champions
D C/E (x02030?) F6 (1x021x) G G6/A (bee gees chord: x05430)
No time for losers 'cause we are the champions

Of the world
[Verse]
Am Em (or Em7)
I've taken my bows
Am Em
And my curtain calls
Am Em
You brought me fame and fortune
Am Em
And everything that goes with it
Am Em
And I thank you all
C Fmaj7/C (x33210)
But it s been no bed of roses
C Fmaj7/C (fill: High E3-1-0 B1
No pleasure cruise
C G/B (x20030) Am
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
D7 G
And I ain't gonna lose
F/G Gm7b5 G7 A7
And I mean to go on, and on, and on, and on

To the tune of Country Joes Vietnam song
I like it capo'd on 3
To the tune of Country Joes Vietnam song
Verse 1
Well come on all you angry white men,
Donald Trump needs your help again
Got himself a half baked plan
To make America great again
So lets keep out the muslems and the mexicans too
Gonna build a wall to the moon
And its 123, what am I angry for?
Don't ask me I don't have a clue
Gonna watch some more Fox News
and its 567 what about pizza-gate
well, there ain't no time to ask why or how
screw the mainstream media anyhow
verse 2
Now PC culture really makes me mad,
Cause I grab em by the pussy like my dear old dad [or "and so did my dad"]
The only decency [or dignity] that I've ever known
I measure in dollars [or inches] when I'm home alone
So lets repeal Dodd-Frank and give it all to the banks
Gonna make the economy tank [whoopee!]
and its 123, why don't they like [or trust] me now
don't ask me I don't give a clue
Gonna drop a Twitter bomb on you
And its 567
Maybe youre sad or youre overrated,
Verse 3
Ill drop a Twitter bomb if you make me mad
I'll call you overrated or maybe you're sad
At 3am that's what I'm thinking about
That's why my face / is an angry pout
So lets all grab our guns and start to drain out the swamp
Were the laughing stock of the world
and its 123, I dont even give a damn
Reality is all fake news
No ones going to tell me what to do
And its 567
Verse 4
Well Donald Trump is happy again,
Cause he's got himself a few good men
A fox in every henhouse to do as they please
Which is bring this government to its knees
What good is public education or the birds and the bees
_________________
And it's 1-2-3, what are we frightened for?
Don't ask me I don't have a clue, but orange man is coming for you
And its 5-6-7 ________
Verse 5
Screw those people for takin our checks
Don't you know America is for the rednecks
So lets hang out in Walmart and eat government cheese
Gonna blame it all on the chinese
And it's five, six, seven, lets take over the United States
Ain't no time to wonder why, whoopee we're all gonna cry
Well come on all you angry white men,
next we're gonna get the Mexicans
Last verse, make it positive:
So pick up our mouses and pick up our phones,
And make ourselves noticed
We're the laughing stock of the world
Maybe we'll be less of a laughing stock to the world if we resist
the world is laughing at us
well, there ain't no time to ask me how, [next time "when", "where", "why"]
123 what are we frightened for
don't touch my guns
turning washington into wwf
drain the swamp
(let wall street go crazy)
Is stored in my personal bank account
this land is your lahd, this land is my land
Well come on ladies, you better run away fast
pick on the mexicans
don't tell me I mexican't, because I mexican!
So pick up your mouse, pick up your phone,
we're gonna
jail hillary

And no, I can't watch your dog
And no, you can't crash on my couch for awhile
Fire! Open fire on the dead heads!

And no, I dont have a miracle for you
And no, you cant do your laundry at my place

Mon petit chat
Theres no more Mishka
And no more sand between your toes
Except in the kitty litter, we brought smoe beach home for you
A new backyard to explore
All those other cats instead of skunks
Probably some skunks too
And possums. Lots of possums, drooling at you.
Jims cat downstairs is older than you
The cat door is a bit of a mystery. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.
And if you get lost well post lost cat signs.
You can sleep all day on the bean bag waiting for your gumball machine to drop you more food.
The beanbag makes a great place to sleep between
I'm going down to Richmond
Going down tonight
I'm going down to Richmond
I'm going to see the light
Going down to Richmond town
Street lights burning low
Going down to Richomond town tonight
