Real Book version. Interesting short cover with a nice intro. Great banjolele version.

For the C, use 0033 at beginning I think. And for Dm7, can just use Dm most of the time, a bit less cluttered.

Also note that most of the online chord charts list that C#dim as a Cminor (0333), which sounds ok, but not quite as good as that snazzy C#dim. And the Real Book lists it as A7b9 (2131). And the C in the REal Book is a Cmaj7, surprise surprise.

A7 = 0100

Am = 2000

Am7 = 0000

A7b9 = 2131

Bb7 = 1211

Bm7-5 = 2212

C = 0003 or 0033

Cmaj7 = 0002 or 5432

C#dim = 0101

Dm7 = 2213 or 2210 for regular Dm

E7 = 1202

Emin7 = 0202 or 4432

Em = 0432

F = 2010 or 2013

Fm = 1013

G7 = 0212

G = 0232

Gmin7 = 0211

For the Em7 in the bridge, can use 4432, but not sure what chord that is. And for the A7, 2100 sounds better I think.

Intro: C adding the 0203 and back to open. Also 0213.

C C#dim Dm7 G7

She gets too hungry for dinner at eight;

C C#dim Dm7 G7

Adores the theater, and won't arrive late

C Gm7 C7 F (2013) Fm (1013) (or 1213)

She never bothers with people she hates,

C (or 0203) Dm7 G7 C G7

That's why the lady is a tramp.

C C#dim Dm7 G7

Don't go to crap games with Barons and Earls,

C C#dim Dm7 G7

Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls,

C Gm7 C7 F (2013) Fm (1013)

Won't dish the dirt like some of the girls

C (or 0203) Dm7 G7 C G7

That's why the lady is a tramp.

F G7 Em7 (0202) A7 (0100)

She likes the free, fresh wind in her hair

Dm7 G7 C (0033) A7 Dm7 G7

Life without care; she's broke, it's oke.

C C#dim Dm7 E7 (1202)

Hates Cal-i-for - nia, it's cold and it's damp

Am7 (0000) Dm7 G7sus C G7

That's why the lady is a tramp.

Am7 Dm7 G7sus C (G7)

Thats why the lady is a tramp...

Repeat last line to taste, then good ending chords: 0205 or C9? 0205 or Cmaj7 5432 or 0037

Another good end riff: Do the D7, then roll down off the high string 3-2-1, then 3-1-0 on 3rd, then 2 - 0 on 2nd, then strum a C.

Note that leading up to that E7 on damp can do (Bm7-5 (2212)) - E7.

In G, a bit easier for Uke:

B7 = 2322

C7 = 0001 or 0031

Gdim = 0101 or 0404 (same as C#dim?)

E7 = 1202

For the Em, can play 0202. And for the Gdim, can slide up, or play as 0404

G B7 Em (nice as 0202) C7 (0031) Gdim (0404)

Since it costs a lot to win, and even more to lose,

G E7 A7 C

You and me got to spend more time wonderin' what to choose.

Chorus:

G B7

Just goes to show, you don't ever know,

Em (G) C7 Gdim

Watch each card you play and play it slow.

G F (2013) C

Wait until that deal come 'round,

G F C G

Don't you let that deal go down (no no).

G B7 Em C7 Gdim

I've been gamblin' hereabouts for ten good solid years,

G E7 A7 C

And if I told you all that went down it would burn off both your ears.

G B7 Em C7 Gdim

Since you poured the wine for me and tightened up my shoes,

G E7 A7 C

I hate to leave you sittin' there composing lonesome blues.

[chorus]

Great version from Northern Exposure (in Db)

Fm6 = 1213

Bb7 = 1211

This is a bit simplified. See the Songy Songs version for a bit more comlicated.

Can play with the C (0003) then add the Fm (1013). Nice voice leading.

C Fm (or Fm6) C Fm

What'll I do when you are far away

C (A7) Dm7 G7 C (Dm7) G7

And I am blue, what'll I do?

What'll I do when I am wondering who

Is kissing you, what'll I do? [C7]

Bridge:

F Gm7 (C7) F Bb7 (or Fm6)

What'll I do with just a photograph

Em7 A7 Dm7-G7

To tell my troubles to?

When I'm alone, with only dreams of you

That won't come true, whatll I do?

[Titty over a verse]

F Gm7 (C7) F Bb7 (or Fm6)

What'll I do with just a photograph?

Em7 A7 Dm7-G7

To tell my troubles to?

When I'm alone, with only dreams of you

That won't come true, what'll I do?

C Dm7 G7

That won't come true, what'll I do?

Intro (like first line, but with A7#5 at end, or just do whole verse pattern):

Verse 1:

D D#dim Em7 A7

Another bride, another June,

D D7 G Gm6

another sunny honeymoon,

D Bm7 Bb7 A7sus (A7) D (Em7) A7#5

Another season, another reason for makin' whoopee

D D#dim Em7 A7

A lot of shoes, a lot of rice,

D D7 G Gm6

the groom is nervous, he answers twice

D Bm7 Bb7 A7sus (A7) D Bm7

It's really killing, that he's so willing to make whoopee.

Bridge:

F#dim (2323) Em7 Gm6 D

Picture a little love-nest, down where the roses cling

F#dim Em7 Gm6 D D#dim Em7 A7#5

Picture the same sweet love-nest, think what a year can bring

Verse 2:

D D#dim Em7 A7

He's washing dishes and baby clothes,

D D7 G Gm6

he's so am-bitious, he even sews

D Bm7 Bb7 A7sus A7 D A7#5

But don't for-get folks, that's what you get, folks, for makin' whoopee!

D D#dim Em7 A7

Another year or maybe less,

D D7 G Gm6

what's this I hear? Well, can't you guess?

D Bm7 Bb7 A7sus A7 D A7#5

She feels neglected and he's sus-pected of makin' whoopee

[Titty]

D D#dim Em7 A7

She sits a-lone most every night,

D D7 G Gm6

he doesn't phone her, he doesn't write

D Bm7 Bb7 A7sus A7 D Bm7

He says he's "busy," but she says "is he?" He's makin' whoopee

Bridge:

F#dim Em7 Gm6 D

He doesn't make much money, only five thousand per

F#dim Em7 Gm6 D D#dim Em7 A7#5

Some judge who thinks he's funny says "You'll pay six to her."

D D#dim Em7 A7

He says now Judge, suppose I fail?

D D7 G Gm6

The judge says "Budge right into jail.

D Bm7 Bb7 A7sus A7 D A7#5

You'd better keep her, I think it's cheaper than makin whoopee!

F#m7 (2424) B7b9 (2323) Bb7 A7sus A7 D6 (2222)

You'd better keep her, I think it's cheaper than makin' whoopee!

Am (2000) C+ Am

Some others I've seen

C+ D7 (2020) D7? (2021)

Might never be mean

G9 F#9 G9 F#9 G9

Might never be cross, or try to be boss

F#9 G9

I'm laughing at clouds

So high up above

The sun's in my heart

And I'm ready for love

Let the stormy clouds chase

Everyone from the place

Come on with the rain

I've a smile on my face

I walk down the lane

With a happy refrain

Just singin',

Singin' in the rain

Dancin' in the rain

Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah

Dee-ah dee-ah dee-ah

I'm happy again!

I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain!

I'm dancin' and singin' in the rain...

[ADDITIONAL VERSE]

Why am I smiling

And why do I sing?

Why does September

Seem sunny as spring?

Why do I get up

Each morning and start?

Happy and head up

With joy in my heart

Why is each new task

A trifle to do?

Because I am living

A life full of you.

Other things just make you swear and curse.

Am D

When you're chewing on life's gristle

G Em

Don't grumble, give a whistle

Am D (or D7)

And this'll help things turn out for the best...

G Em Am D (D Am D) G Em Am D

And... always look on the bright side of life... (whistle)

Always look on the light side of life...

Am D G Em

If life seems jolly rotten, theres something youve forgotten.

Am D G G7

And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.

Am D G Em

When you're feeling in the dumps, dont be silly chumps...

A7 D (D7)

Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

G Em Am D G Em Am D

And... always look on the bright side of life... (whistle)

Always look on the light side of life...

Am D G Em

For life is quite absurd, and death's the final word

You must always face the curtain with a bow. [G7]

Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin

A7 D

Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

G Em Am D G Em Am D

So always look on the bright side of death

Just before you draw your terminal breath

Am D G Em

Life's a piece of shit, when you look at it

Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.

You'll see it's all a show, keep 'em laughing as you go

A7 D

Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

G Em Am D G Em Am D

And... always look on the bright side of life... (whistle)

Always look on the light side of life...

Always look on the right side of life...

(Come on guys, cheer up!)

(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)

(I mean - what have you got to lose?)

(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.

What have you lost? Nothing!)

Always look on the right side of life...

original version

Intro: Cmaj7 Bm

Cmaj7

There's an army on the dance floor

Bm

It's a fashion with a gun my love

Cmaj7

In a room without a door

Bm

A kiss is not enough... in

CHORUS

C D

Love my way it's a new road

C D

I follow where my mind goes

They'd put us on a railroad

They'd dearly make us pay

For laughing in their faces

And making it our way

There's emptiness behind their eyes

There's dust in all their hearts

They just want to steal us all and

Take us all apart... but not in

Chorus, Titty, Chorus

So swallow all your tears my love

And put on your new face

You can never win or lose if

You don't run the race

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

B = 4322

Verse 1:

B

Dark in the city, night is a wire

Steam in the subway, the earth is on fire

A B

Do do doo do - do doo do - do doo do - do doo do - do do

Woman you want me, give me a sign

And catch me breathing even closer behind

Do do doo do - do doo do - do doo do - do doo do - do do

Chorus:

G D (can do 0220) C

In touch with the ground, [dont go too high here] I'm on the hunt I'm after you

G D

I smell like I sound, I'm lost in a crowd [2nd: Im lost and Im found]

C A

And I'm hungry like the wolf

G D C

Straddle the line, in discordant rhyme, I'm on the hunt I'm after you

G D C A

Mouth is alive, with juices like wine, and I'm hungry like the wolf

Stalked in the forest, Im too close to hide

I'll be upon you by the moonlights rise

Do do doo do - do doo do - do doo do - do doo do - do do

High blood drumming on your skin, it's so tight

You feel my heat, I'm just a moment behind

I think album key is a step up to Em, but this is way better on Uke. If doing on guitar, use barre chords and do in Em, using the kind of Elvis Costello-y rhythm from the original (listen to it).

Verse 1

Dm Bb (3211) G Bb

Put on the floor now like a bird of paradise

Cherry ice cream smile, I suppose its very nice

With a step to the left and a flick to the right you catch the mirror way out west

But now youre somthing special and you look like youre the best

[D leads into chorus]

Chorus

D (3335) A C G

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

Just like that river twisting though the dusty land

And when she shines she really show you all she can

Oh Rio oh Rio dance across the Rio Grand

Verse 2

I seen you on the beach I seen you on the TV

Two of a billion stars it means so much to me

Like a birthday or a pretty view

But then I'm sure that you know its just for you

[Chorus to taste]

I think original is capod up 1.

Just doing regular Bm (4222) for the Bmsus, and A for Asus2.

(Sing riff over intro?)

[Intro] [Bsus2] [Dm] (G?)

Verse 1:

[Bmsus2]Words like violence

[Dm]Break the silence

[G]Come crashing in - Into my little world

[Bmsus2]Painful to me

[Dm]Pierce right through me

[G]Can't you understand - Oh my little girl

Chorus:

[Em]All I ever wanted

[G]All I ever needed

Is [Bmsus2]here in my [Asus2]arms

[Em]Words are very [G]unnecessary

[Bmsus2]They can only do [Bbsus2]harm

(Fun to sing the riff here...)

[Bsus2] [Dm] [G] [G] 2x

Verse 2:

[Bmsus2]Vows are spoken

[Dm]To be broken

[G]Feelings are intense - Words are trivial

[Bmsus2]Pleasures remain

[Dm]So does the pain

[G]Words are meaningless - And forgettable

Chorus:

[Em]All I ever wanted

[G]All I ever needed

Is [Bmsus2]here in my [Asus2]arms

[Em]Words are very [G]unnecessary

[Bmsus2]They can only do [Bbsus2]harm

[Verse-1]

[Chorus-2x]

Enjoy the silence

Verse:

Hey hey mama said the way you move,

Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove.

Ha ha child when you shake that thing,

Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.

Hey hey baby when you walk that way,

Watch your honey drip, can't keep away.

Chorus:

[For the C7, can use 3433]

C7 B7 C7 B7 C7

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, ahhhh.

I gotta roll, can't stand still,

Got a flaming heart, can't get my fill.

Eyes that shine burning red,

Dreams of you all through my head.

Chorus

Hey baby, whoa baby, pretty baby

Darling give it to me now. (?)

Hey baby, oh baby, pretty baby

Move the way you're doing now. (?)

Didn't take too long 'fore I found out,

What people mean by down and out.

Spent my money, took my car

Started telling her friends she gon' be a star.

I don't know, but I been told

A big-legged woman ain't got no soul.

Chorus

All I ask for, all I pray

Steady rolling woman gonna come my way.

Need a woman to hold my hand

Won't tell me no lies, make me a happy man.

Riff 1:

Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dreams

I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been

To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen

They talk of days for which they sit and wait, and all will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear

But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear

Oh, oh.

Oh, I been flying... mama, there ain't no denyin'

I've been flying, ain't no denyin', no denyin'

Bridge:

Fm (0543) G

All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground

And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land

Trying to find, trying to find where I've been.

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream

Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream

My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again

Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir.

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years

With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear

Ohh.

When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah

When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down...

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down

Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there

Let me take you there. Let me take you there

Drone off a C chord.

We were talking, about the space between us all

And the people, who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion

Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late-when they pass away.

We were talking, about the love we all could share

When we find it, to try our best to hold it there

With our love, with our love

We could save the world, if they only knew.

Bridge:

Try to realize it's all within yourself,

No-one else can make you change.

And to see you're really only very small,

And life flows ON within you and without you.

We were talking, about the love that's gone so cold

And the people who gain the world and lose their soul-

They don't know, they can't see

Are you one of them?

Bridge:

When you've seen beyond yourself

Then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there

And the time will come when you see were all one.

And life flows on within you and without you.

Nice to do the D as 0220.

I think the normal progression is Em - C - D, but I like doing a kind of two chord progression: A sort of Gsus to Dsus. See voice memo note.

Gsus Dsus

You must be my Lucky Star

Gsus Dsus

'Cause you shine on me wherever you are

I just think of you and I start to glow

And I need your light, and baby you know

Chorus:

Starlight, starbright first star I see tonight

Starlight, [starbright] make everything all right

Starlight, starbright first star I see tonight

Starlight, [starbright] yeah

You must be my Lucky Star

'Cause you make the darkness seem so far

And when I'm lost you'll be my guide

I just turn around and you're by my side

[chorus]

Bridge: (Am - G?)

Come on shine your heavenly body tonight

'Cause I know you're gonna make everything all right

You may be my lucky star

But I'm the luckiest by far

G

I made it through the wilderness, somehow I made it through.

Am G

Didn't know how lost I was, until I found you.

I was beat, incomplete. I'd been had, I was sad and blue,

Am Em Am Em D (Dsus?)

But you made me feel... Yeah, you made me feel, shiny and new

Chorus:

G (Emin7)

Like a virgin, touched for the very first time.

Am G

Like a virgin, when your heart beats, next to mine.

Gonna give you all my love, boy, my fear is fading fast.

Am G

Been saving it all for you, 'cause only love can last.

You're so fine and you're mine, make me strong, yeah, you make me bold.

Am Em Am Em

Oh, your love thawed out, yeah, your love thawed out,

[Repeat last bit to taste]

Waiting in vain: Gmaj7 (0222) to Cmaj7 (0002). Can slide the Gmaj7 up from the first fret.

Chorus:

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.

From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl,

My heart says follow through.

But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line,

But the waitin' feel is fine:

So don't treat me like a puppet on a string,

'Cause I know I have to do my thing.

Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb;

I wanna know when you're gonna come - soon.

Chorus

Bridge 1:

C D Bm7 Am7

'Cos if summer is here, I'm still waiting there.

C D Bm7 Am7

Winter is here, and I'm still waiting there.

Like I said:

It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door,

And I still can knock some more:

Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible?

I wanna know now, for I to knock some more.

Ya see, in life I know there's lots of grief,

But your love is my relief:

Tears in my eyes burn - tears in my eyes burn

While I'm waiting - while I'm waiting for my turn,

See!

On the day I was born

The nurses all gathered 'round

And they gazed in wide wonder

At the joy they had found

The head nurse spoke up

Said "leave this one alone"

She could tell right away

That I was bad to the bone

Chorus:

Bad to the bone

Bad to the bone

B-B-B-B-Bad

Bad to the bone

I broke a thousand hearts

Before I met you

I'll break a thousand more, baby

Before I am through

I wanna be yours pretty baby

Yours and yours alone

I'm here to tell ya honey

That I'm bad to the bone

Chorus

I make a rich woman beg

I'll make a good woman steal

I'll make an old woman blush

And make a young girl squeal

I wanna be yours pretty baby

Yours and yours alone

I'm here to tell ya honey

That I'm bad to the bone

Chorus

And when I walk the streets

Kings and Queens step aside

Every woman I meet

They all stay satisfied

I wanna tell ya pretty baby

Well Ya see I make my own

I'm here to tell ya honey

That I'm bad to the bone

When you were here before, couldn't look you in the eyes

You float like a feather, in a beautiful world

I wish I was special, you're so fucking special

Chorus:

But I'm a creep, I'm a wierdo

What the hell am I doing here, I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts, I wanna have control

I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice, when I'm not around

You're so fuckin' special, I wish I was special....

She's running out the door

She's running out, She run, run, run, run, Run

Whatever makes you happy, whatever you want

When I was a little bitty boy

my grandmother bought me a cute little toy

C F

Silver bells hangin' on a string

G C

she told me it was my ding a ling

Chorus:

My ding a ling, my ding a ling

G C

I want to play with my ding a ling

C F

My ding a ling, my ding a ling

G C

I want to play with my ding a ling

C / F / G

And then mother took me to Grammer School

But I stopped all in the vestibule

Every time that bell would ring

catched me playin' with my ding a ling

Once I was climbing the garden wall

I slipped and had a terrible fall

I fell so hard I heard bells ring

but held on to my ding a ling

Once I was swimming cross Turtle creek

many snappers all around my feet

Shure was hard swimming cross that thing

with both hands holdin' my ding a ling

This here song it ain't so sad

the cutest little song you ever had

those of you who will not sing

You must be playin' with your own ding a ling

Last chorus:

Your ding a ling Your ding a ling

We saw you playin' with your ding a ling

My ding a ling everybody sing

I want to play with my ding a ling

CHORUS

D F# (3121)

B B7 (2320)

Reaching out for a rotten egg I don't want to beg

G F# B

It's crystal clear your time is nearly gone

Count your blessings and do the things that you should

Oh the has-beens that never had it so good

Stormy weather, the kids are making a racket

In the wilderness, the wild lives are so mild

CHORUS x2

TITTY OVER A VERSE

CHORUSE

Album key is Bm. This Gm version is still a bit high, can also do Dm below.

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

F C

Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air

Eb or Cm7 (3333) Bb

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light

Cm D D7

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night

Gm D7

There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell

F C

And I was thinking to myself, this could be heaven or this could be hell

Eb or Cm7 (3333) Bb

Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way

Cm D D7

There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say...

CHORUS:

Eb (3336) Bb

Welcome to the Hotel California.

D7 Gm

Such a lovely place, such a lovely face

Eb Bb

There's Plenty of room at the Hotel California

Cm D

Anytime of year, (anytime of year) You can find us here...

Gm D7

Her mind is Tiffany twisted, She got a mercedes benz

F C

She got alot of pretty pretty boys that she calls friends

Eb or Cm7 (3333) Bb

How they danced in the court yard sweet summer sweat

Cm D D7

Some dance to remember some dance to forget

Gm D7

So I called up the captain; Please bring me my wine (he said)

F C

We haven't had that spirit here since 1969

Eb or Cm7 (3333) Bb

and still those voice are calling from far away

Cm D D7

Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say

CHORUS

Gm D7

Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice (and she said)

F C

We are all just prisoners here, of our own device

Eb or Cm7 (3333) Bb

and in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast

They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast

(x2 whole thing)

Camper Van do it in G, Bradley does it in B. Sounds good at top of range.

If in A, the Fm is (2120)

G Em

Hes got the eye of Fatima on the wall of his room

Two bottles of tequila, three cats and a broom

F C

Hes got an 18-year-old angel, and shes all dressed in black

G F D7

Hes got 15 bindles of cocaine tied up in a sack

And this heres a government experiment and were driving like hell

To get some cowboys some acid, and to stay in motels

Were gonna eat up some wide open spaces like it was a cruise on the Nile

The hands of the clock are gonna be there awhile

And I am the eye of Fatima, on the wall of the motel room

And cowboys on acid are like Egyptian cartoons

And no one ever conquered Wyoming from the left or from the right

But you can stay in motel rooms, stay up all night

Nice to play the F as 2010.

Can use the 2nd two lines of the chorus as an intro.

[Verse 1]

F Dm

Love of mine, someday you will die

Bb F C

But I will be close behind. I will follow, you into the dark

F Dm

No blinding light, or tunnels to gates of white

Bb F C

Just our hands clasped so tight. Waiting for, the hint of a spark

[Chorus]

Dm F Bb F C

If heaven and hell decide, that they both are satisfied

Dm F C

Illuminate the "no's", on their vacancy signs

Dm F A Dm C

If there's no one beside you, when your soul embarks

Bb Bbm F

Then I will follow you into the dark

[Verse 2]

F Dm

Catholic school, as vicious as Roman rule

Bb F C

I got my knuckles bruised, by a lady in black

F Dm

And I held my tongue, as she told me "son,

Bb F C

fear is the heart of love." So I never went back

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

F Dm

You and me, have seen everything to see

Bb F C

From Bangkok to Calgary, And the soles of your shoes

F Dm

Are all worn down, the time for sleep is now,

Bb F C

but it's nothing to cry about, because we'll hold each other soon.

[Bridge]

Dm F

In the blackest of rooms

[Chorus]

Dm F Bb F C

If heaven and hell decide, that they both are satisfied

Dm F C

Illuminate the "no's", on their vacancy signs

Dm F A Dm C

If there's no one beside you, when your soul embarks

Bb Bbm F

Then I will follow you into the dark

And he never gives an answer

Chorus:

Likewise gold and jewels

but I would slave to learn the way to sink your ship of fools

Chorus:

G D C G

Ship of fools, on a cruel sea

Ship of fools, sail away from me

with forty years upon my head, to have you call me child.

[Chorus]

Verse 3:

Though I could not caution all I still might warn a few;

C G D C G

don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools.

[chorus]

[Repeat verse 2]

B7 Em

so happy together

(repeat to taste)

Ending chord is E major.

See voice memo note for doing this song. Uses a bit of the mushroom beat. For the riff, the important thing is the notes on the high string. I think the song does the riff in A major, but I like the A minory vibe during the verses.

Met a girl called Lola and I took her back to my place

Feelin' guilty, feelin' scared, hidden cameras everywhere

Stop! Hold on. Stay in control

Girl, I want you here with me

But I'm really not as cool as I'd like to be

'Cause there's a rat, under my bed

And there's a little yellow man in my head

And there's a true blue inside of me

That keeps stoppin' me, touchin' ya, watchin' ya, lovin' ya

There's a red, under my bed

And there's a little yellow man in my head

And he said, "you're not goin' crazy, you're just a bit sad

'Cause there's a man in ya, gnawin' ya, tearin' ya into two." (?)

City boy ya' self-destroyer.

VERSE 1

Some lyrics updated with this great version from Bruce Springsteen

D7 G E7 C [A7]

Oh, once I was happy, but now I'm forlorn,

D7 G D7

Like an old coat that is tattered and torn.

G E7 C [A7]

I'm left on this world to fret and to mourn,

D7 G

Betrayed by a maid in her teens.

Em B7 Em

Oh, the girl that I loved, she was handsome,

Em B7 Em

And I tried all that I knew her to please;

Em B7 Em A7

But I never could please her a quarter as well,

A7 D7

As that man on the flying trapeze.

Chorus:

G E7 A7

Oh, hed fly through the air with the greatest of ease,

D7 G D7

The daring young man on the flying trapeze.

G E7 A7

His movements were graceful; all girls he could please,

D7 G

And my love he has stolen away.

Em B7 Em (ends with A7-D7)

Now the young man by name was Senior Bonslang,

He was tall, big and handsome, as well built as Chang.

Wherever he appeared, the whole hall would rang

With ovations from all people there.

He'd smile from the bar to the people below

And one night he smiled on my love,

She winked back at him, and she shouted "Bravo!"

As he hung by his nose up above.

Her father and mother were both on my side

And tried very hard to make her my bride.

Her father, he sighed, and her mother, she cried

To see her throw herself away.

But it was all no avail, she went there every night

And shed throw him bouquets on the stage,

It caused him to meet her, and to how he ran me down,

would take a whole fucking page...

Chorus

Well, one night as usual I went to her dear home,

And I found there her father and mother alone.

I asked for my love, and soon they made known,

To my horror, that she'd run away.

She packed up her box and eloped in the night,

With him with the greatest of ease.

From two stories high he had lowered her down

To the ground on his flying trapeze.

[Chorus, then maybe titty over a chorus]

Some months after that I went to the circus hall;

To my surprise I found there on the wall

A bill in red letters, my heart it did gall,

That she was appearing with him.

He'd taught her gymnastics, and dressed her in tights

To help him live a life of ease.

As I stood there staring, up into the lights,

there she flew on that flying trapeze

Final Chorus:

She flies through the air with the greatest of ease;

The daring young girl on the flying trapeze

She does all the work while he takes his ease

And my love hes stolen away.

[She flies through the air with the greatest of ease;

You'd think her a man on the flying trapeze.

She does all the work while he takes his ease,

And that's what's become of my love.]

Payaso verses:

Oh, assman is here, he came all the way from Queens

He took 13 trains now he smells like sardines

He looks like he could use a beer for his cheer

So we gave him a glass straight away

Oh the Assman, he looked very parched

After all of the stairs that he marched

After he appeared, the whole room did fill

With a big whiff of sardiny farts

Oh assman is here, he came all the way from Queens.

He looks like hes still dressed for last Halloween

Elvis does it capod up 2.
