"Let's sing another song, boys, this one has grown old and bitter..."

Intro: A augmentedA

     A augmentedA      E MajorE         A augmentedA   Asus4Asus4    A augmentedA
Ah his fingernails, I see they're broken

 D MajorD              A augmentedA   Asus4Asus4    A augmentedA
His ships, they're all on fire

 B minorBm
The moneylender's lovely little daughter

  A augmentedA                   Asus4Asus4    A augmentedA
Ah, she's eaten, she's eaten with desire

 C# minorC#m               F# minorF#m (iv)
She spies him through the glasses

      C# minorC#m     D MajorD        A augmentedA   Asus4Asus4    A augmentedA
From the pawnshops of her wicked father

 C# minorC#m            F# minorF#m (iv)
She hails him with a microphone

         C# minorC#m         D MajorD       A augmentedA     Asus4Asus4    A augmentedA
That some poor singer, just like me, had to leave her

 B minorBm             A augmentedA    Asus4Asus4    A augmentedA
She tempts him with a clarinet

 F# minorF#m          E MajorE
She waves a Nazi dagger

 A augmentedA        E MajorE      A augmentedA   Asus4Asus4    A augmentedA
She finds him lying in a heap

       E MajorE     A augmentedA   Asus4Asus4    A augmentedA
She wants to be his woman

 D MajorD
He says, "Yes, I just might go to sleep

       A augmentedA                    Asus4Asus4    A augmentedA
But kindly leave, leave the future, leave it open."

 B minorBm
He stands where it is steep

    A augmentedA                      Asus4Asus4    A augmentedA
Oh I guess he thinks that he's the very first one

 C# minorC#m              F# minorF#m (iv)
His hand upon his leather belt now

          C# minorC#m      D MajorD       A augmentedA   Asus4Asus4    A augmentedA
Like it was the wheel of some big ocean liner

 C# minorC#m                 F# minorF#m (iv)
And she will learn to touch herself so well

       C# minorC#m      D MajorD     A augmentedA   Asus4Asus4    A augmentedA
As all the sails burn down like paper

 B minorBm           A augmentedA   Asus4Asus4    A augmentedA
And he has lit the chain

 F# minorF#m           E MajorE
Of his famous cigarillo

 A augmentedA                E MajorE          A augmentedA   Asus4Asus4    A augmentedA
Ah, they'll never, they'll never ever reach the moon

          E MajorE        A augmentedA   Asus4Asus4    A augmentedA
At least not the one that we're after

 B minorBm
It's floating broken on the open sea, look out there, my friends

     A augmentedA
And it carries no survivors

 C# minorC#m                F# minorF#m (iv)
But let's leave these lovers wondering

    C# minorC#m      D MajorD     A augmentedA   Asus4Asus4    A augmentedA
Why they cannot have each other

 C# minorC#m             F# minorF#m (iv)
And let's sing another song, boys

        C# minorC#m    D MajorD     A augmentedA   Asus4Asus4    A augmentedA
This one has grown old and bitter

     B minorBm
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

 A augmentedA
La, la, la, la, la, la,...

 B minorBm
La, la, la...

 A augmentedA
La...

 B minorBm
