E Emaj7 B A x3 B11 Emaj7* B11 B11 E Emaj7 B A

Verse 1:
E                      Emaj7
I’ve been walkin’ down to the saloon
B                     A
In the height of the afternoon
E             Emaj7               B         A
To feed that vice that keeps my depression in tune
B11                  Emaj7*               B11
And then there’s the girl, The Fairy who knows too much for the girl who knows my heart

Verse 2:
E                 Emaj7
There’s Bill the homeless man
B                    A
Beggin’ for coin whenever he can
E                  Emaj7      B   A
And Maria who was left in Madrid by her man
B11                 Emaj7*                B11
And then there’s the girl, The Fairy who knows too much for the girl who knows my heart

Verse 3:
E              Emaj7
In the bar of lonely souls
B                   A
The only spirit is alcohol
E                   Emaj7       B      A
Which The Fairy is happy to provide until light falls
B11             Emaj7*            B11
Yeah, she’s the one, the one who knows too much for a girl who knows my heart

Instrumental:
E Emaj7 B A

Verse 4:
E                    Emaj7
Another mornin’ of staggering home
B                 A
Another mornin’ chill to the bone
E                  Emaj7           B                 A
The birds chirping in the trees remind me of summer days and ice-cream cones
B11                 Emaj7*                B11
And then there’s the girl, The Fairy who knows too much for the girl who knows my heart

Verse 5:
E              Emaj7
Passin’ by the town lunatic
B                        A
They thought they could help him with a ‘fix’
E             Emaj7              B        A
Now he’s been fixin’ day in day out since 1996
B11                  Emaj7*               B11
And then there’s the girl, The Fairy who knows too much for the girl who knows my heart

Instrumental:
E Emaj7 B A

Verse 6:
E             Emaj7
Another day, another hole
B                  A
She comes over to make sure I’m told
E                  Emaj7      B       A
Today’s drinks are half-price    and just as cold
E             Emaj7
I look to my beat-up wallet
B           A
To see when I should call it
E          Emaj7          B         A
Two days go by and I wake up in my own vomit
B11                 Emaj7*                B11
And then there’s the girl, The Fairy who knows too much for the girl who knows my heart

Yeah, she’s the one, the one who knows too much for a girl who knows

For a girl who knows my heart

E     Emaj7  E7   B
Ziggy was a good man
E             Emaj7            E7  B
Sang songs so blue and songs so red
Bbmaj13             D
And then one day he up and left
Bbmaj13    D
Lazarus ascended

Verse 2:
E     Emaj7  E7   B
Ziggy was a good man
E                Emaj7                E7       B
Lookin’ for some soul food and a bit of love, but

Then one day he up and left
Bbmaj13   D
Lazarus ascended
Bbmaj13                D
And in this crazy circus we call life, for a while

He was the conductor
