A
This is it folks, over the top

A  A/G   x8

Verse 1:
A
He was selling postcards from a paper stand
A
The whiskey bottle in his withered hand
A
Put his finger on a photo from an old magazine
A                                      D
Saw himself in the shadow of his dream
A
They found him with his head inside a tin-pot crown
A
Told him his feet stank and took him downtown
A
Called him agitator, spy and thief
A
Shut him up in solitary third degree

Chorus:
       D    E
Take a long line
       D    E
Take a long line
       D    E
Take a long line
E        A
Reel him in

A  A/G   x2


Verse 2:
A
He tried to appeal to the king of might
A
Said "I'm just exercising my sacred right"
A
The king he said "You ain't got no rights
A
You're a madman, a traitor, get outta my sight"


Chorus:
       D    E
Take a long line
       D    E
Take a long line
       D    E
Take a long line

Reel him in

Verse 3:
A
They found him with his head inside a tin-pot crown
A
Told him his feet stank and took him downtown
A
Called him agitator, spy and thief
A                                   D
Shut him up in solitary third degree
A
Then they put him aboard a well wound whirlwind
A
Pulled out his teeth and they told him to grin
A
He gave them a smile, pulled out a bottle of wine
A
And said "I never existed, you've been wasting your time"

Take a long, long long long line

Reel him in
