Key: A
Tuning: E A D G B E

Intro:
 
A G F A
 
 
Verse:
 
      A
There was a time I liked him, now I don't know what to say
A
When I see him coming, I just look the other way
G             F
Ah he's dangerous
          G
There's a sparkle in his eyes when they should be dull and grey
Dm C G/B Bb
Oh

Verse 2:
 
     A
He's got an air of confidence, goes out on his own
A
Has a very few friends and doesn't use a phone
G          F
Ah, mysterious
      A
Thank God the law is watching, now they'll drag him from his home
Dm     C G/B Bb
Oh, oh
 
 
Chorus:
 
G                            F          C
Once he was a lovely lad, compliant and tame
G                             F          C
Something must've happened to turn him insane
G                   F             C
He lost his way and now he's full-grown
       Bb             C           D
He's a lunatic with a mind of his own

Chorus 2:
 
G                            F          C
Once he was a lovely lad, compliant and tame
G                             F          C
Something must've happened to turn him insane
G                   F             C
He lost his way and now he's full-grown
       Bb             C           D
He's a lunatic with a mind of his own
 
 
Verse 3:
 
     A
It's not as if he barks under a waxing gibbous moon
      A
It's another kind of madness, same old words, a different tune
G           F
Ah it's scary
    A
Not long before the Ministry is bursting his balloon
Dm     C G/B Bb A
Oh, oh
