G+G A minorAm
The dapper Judas reaches back and slaps the students
C majorC G+G
He says, "The mutt was an American man"
G+G A minorAm
Well, he howls and he puffs after all that he can touch
C majorC G+G
But, his arms, they're never so long as his hands
♫ Verse 2:
G+G A minorAm
The troubled leper shuts his eyes and does some guesswork
C majorC G+G
Oh so carefully with confidence and crayons
G+G A minorAm
Saying daily, "My allegiance goes to gardens where graffiti grows
C majorC G+G
And choirs of competing moans command"
♫ Verse 3:
G+G A minorAm
That same troubled leper says, "It is not just the effort
C majorC G+G
It will take to finally make my stand
G+G A minorAm
It's a different colour collar and a hundred thousand dollars
C majorC G+G
For a decent piece of arable land"

Around the bend
E minorEm A minorAm C majorC G+G
Oh, where the grass grows wild over every merry mile
A minorAm C majorC G+G
And Dan-Dan Schlemmer sleeps out in the van
E minorEm A minorAm C majorC G+G
There comes one long, soft sigh on the wind for you and I
A minorAm C majorC G+G
And the good fruit is a-bend at every branch

G+G A minorAm
The hapless maiden looking back at beds she's laid in
C majorC G+G

Well, they tell me between heavy breaths that, darling, after god and death
C majorC G+G
I long to know what's hid beneath your clothes
♫ Verse 5:
G+G A minorAm
And the self-appointed middleman approaches with his brittle hands
C majorC G+G
Says, "I don't ever go that close
G+G A minorAm
But I wish there were a lover or someone I could lean on
C majorC G+G
and tell them I know something that they don't"
♫ Verse 6:
G+G A minorAm
And I would lie, lie, lie if it makes you feel alright
C majorC G+G
Though, it ain't worth the wait to lay alone
G+G A minorAm
But if you have to stay, I will return someday
C majorC G+G
With every little thing that I stole
