Em | G                              |    Em
Oh,    did you see him standing in the street
| G                           | Em
Hmmm, he looked so big, you're so big, but I've seen him before
                    |    G                  |     Em   | G       |    Em

When the moonlight starts its glow, cold hard Helen, Queen of Troy

     |      G              |   Em         |  G           |    Em

     |    G                |  Em        |   G             |   Em
She got mammon, mammon in disguise, in the cold rooms of her eyes
A    G            A7   Em           A    G            A7   Em

     |   G        | Em                 |  G     |  Em
Listen, it's got to go,  I want him in my arms to stay

     |   G         |  Em          |  G          | Em
Big fat mama done me wrong, left me hanging all alone
      |   G                             |  Em
But that bitch is as old, is as old, is as old
         |     G                            |   Em
's that dirty old crone right out there in the cold
A    G            A7   Em           A    G            A7   Em
Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy

    |   G         | Em        |   G                |   Em
Mercy, mercy, mercy me,  I'm so scared, please comfort me
   |     G                   |   Em      |    G              |   Em
I don't wanna be,  your banshee boy,  baying like the hounds of Troy
A    G            A7   Em           A    G            A7   Em
Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy Oh, Helen of Troy

     |     G               |   Em        |   G        |    Em
Standing there from under the lights,  your eyes shining bright
   |    G          |   Em             |    G           |   Em
I want you all of the time,  fill me with awe, all of the time
    | G        |     Em        |    G    |   Em
Lubricate me, don't hate me

Note:  The trick to this song is to strike the F# note on the bass E string
       when transitioning between Em & G chords.  The point at which this
       occurs is indicated with a '|' .    Not sure of all the lyrics!
