Intro:
Am F C E

Verse:
Am              F
I haven't met a locked door yet
        C
that I couldn't beat
           E
on a chain around my neck
     E7
I keep my skeleton key

Chorus:
Am
Don't waste your worry on me
F
I always find what I need
C
come and go as I please
E
I've got my skeleton key
Am
Don't waste your worry on me
F
I always find what I need
D
come and go as I please
F
I've got my skeleton key


Verse:
Am            F
By now it's just a simple trick
       C
not much to see
                E  E7
you hear the tumblers catch and click
       Am
then turn the key
            F            D
but I've found work and welcome everywhere I've been
           F
cause everyone's got someplace they wanna be let in


Chorus:

Am        F               C
Along the way the old men call me by my mother's name
        E
she looked the same they say
Am          F                 D
the children wave or hide behind their mothers' skirts, afraid
        F
strangers here still seem strange


Verse:
Am
they hear the accent
F
know I'm from nowhere near
C
but I speak the language
E       E7
and I know the customs here


Verse:
Am           F
I come from over the horizon
             D
pass through every dozen years
          F
go home, tell of my arrival
  E
the skeleton key's here


Chorus:

Am       F           C    E
I've got my, my skeleton, my skeleton key
Am             F           D
I've got my, got my, got my skeleton, my skeleton key
Am
Yeah


Chorus:

Am      F       C    E
don't you go waste all your worry on me
   Am      F      D    F     Am
cause I'll make my way with my skeleton key
