Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse:
       C                             Bb
with a heavy heart and tiny feet he stumbled through the moonlit street
    F                             C
until he reached the open door of drunken men and open whores
       C                             Bb
until i see the roaming hoard i’ll hide myself and view the world
     F                                 C
with such contempt the green surrounds and knows behind your dressing gowns
       C                             Bb
until i see that open door, i’ll mind myself just to be sure
      F                                C
that no-one else can hear a thing, not even dogs ears to the floor

i dont think he likes it when the joke is on you
C               Bb                F                C
i dont think he takes to well when jokers play the fool


Verse:
       C
so he, stumbles on towards a girl
    Bb
who smells as if she’s seen the world
       F
until he finds to his surprise that she’s a he,
    C
the girls are guys
     C
until i see the tide is right
      Bb
i’ll sit alone long through the night
    F
and think about the many things
    C
i’d do if it were not for him

Verse:
   C
until that night he’d never known
     Bb
that men in drag wear sweet cologne
    F
and dressing in your mothers clothes
   C
is fine just if she never knows
    C
until i hear the road is calm i’ll stick around
 Bb
hell what’s the harm?
    F
the treasure that i’d kill to find
   C
is waiting on the other side.
