A minorAm FF
It was way after midnight, all the village was asleep
G+G Gadd9Gadd9 FF
All except for one young villain, through the night did creep
A minorAm G+G
He went down to the church, started ringing the bell
FF G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm G+G
Everybody came out looking, running like the hounds of hell
A minorAm FF
"There are lights in the castle, they are blazing all night long
G+G Gadd9Gadd9 FF
Let me tell you everybody, there is something going on"
A minorAm G+G
So they took to the torches and went over the wall
FF G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
Someone went ahead to tell of horrors hiding in the hall
CHORUS:
G+G FF
"What did you see?" - "I saw an apparition"
G+G FF
"What did you see?" - "A monster on a bed"
G+G FF
"What did you see?" - "I saw an old magician,
DmDm E MajorE
Waking up the living from the dead!"
C majorC G+G
Keep away, keep away,
FF G+G
They are making the perfect man
C majorC D MajorD
Keep away, (keep away), keep away,
FF G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm G+G
They are making the perfect, making the perfect man!
A minorAm FF
So they called for the doctor, the doctor said, "It's strange
G+G Gadd9Gadd9 FF
He's got pistols on his fingers, he's got love on the brain
A minorAm G+G
He's got a tongue good for lying and the legs to run away
FF G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
He will fool all the people, all the time some day!"
CHORUS:
G+G FF
"What will he be?" - "A leader of the country"
G+G FF
"What will he be?" - "A member of the press"
G+G FF
"What will he be?" - "A banker selling moonbeams,
DmDm E MajorE
Oh, you can watch your money going west!"
C majorC G+G
Keep away, keep away,
FF G+G
They are making the perfect man
C majorC D MajorD
Keep away, (keep away), keep away
FF
They are making the perfect, making the perfect,
G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm G+G
Making the perfect man!
