Verse 1:
Fmaj7
Motorbike on the island
Fmaj7
Steering like an angry hornet
Fmaj7
I don't belong in this ritzy palace
Fmaj7
Show me your shanty
Fmaj7
Show me your corrupted churches
Ddim Bdim
There's a pearl in the mud
Fmaj7
There's a penniless child next to a mansion in the sun
Ddim Bdim
There's a monkey on a chain
Fmaj7
While his puppeteer pulls his strings for change
Am G Fmaj7
I'm a honey-haired lonely traveler
Am G F
You're a rice-picking lonely sailor
Am G Fmaj7
And despite the language barrier
Am G Fmaj7
I appreciate the gesture

The museum is filling up with flies

A rosary from the man with ebony eyes

The barefoot children stick out their hands for coins

The barefoot street men advertise their tricks and their noise
Ddim Bdim
There's a pearl in the mud
Fmaj7
There's a penniless child next to a mansion in the sun
Ddim Bdim
There's a monkey on a chain

I'm an empty-bar storyteller
Am G Fmaj7
You've just made enough for dinner
Am G Fmaj7
And despite the language barrier
Am G Fmaj7
I appreciate the gesture
