Guitar chords with lyrics

Key: A

Intro:

G                C
Tickets, tickets everywhere
G                      D
They're in my clothes, they're in my hair
Em               C                   A7               D7
No one else much seems to care but I hate that bloody Ticketman
    G              C
Yes I hate him and he hates me
G                       D
I guess that's how it's meant to be
Em               C                      A7            D7
No one else much seems to see what's so bad about the Ticketman

Chorus:
    Em           B7
I'm sorry sir, I meant to pay
   C                              A7
It must've been the devil leading me astray
  G
I lost myself
    Am
Got carried away
C                   D
Never again my dear Ticketman
     Em                B7
It's not my fault, how could it be?
   C                              A7
My ticket must've just've fallen down you see
  G               Am
I trust you don't you trust me
       C           D
Please trust me Mr Ticketman


Verse:
     G                 C
Well I parked up there was no sign
      G             D
There was no double yellow line
Em                 C                   A7               D7
He still cooked me up a fine, that crooked lying Ticketman


Pre-Chorus:
     G               C
It's not my fault so I don't pay
    G                    D
The courts don't look at it that way
Em               C             A7               D7
Locked me up for 20 days, I'll get you back my Ticketman


Chorus:
    Em           B7
I'm sorry sir, I meant to pay
   C                              A7
It must've been the devil leading me astray
  G
I lost myself
    Am
Got carried away
C                   D
Never again my dear Ticketman
     Em                B7
It's not my fault, how could it be?
   C                              A7
My ticket must've just've fallen down you see
  G               Am
I trust you don't you trust me
       C           D
Please trust me Mr Ticketman


Verse:
       G                    C
Well I saw him downtown the other day
     G                D
So I saw him down an alleyway
Em                 C              A7               D7
This time round I made him pay, I got that bloody Ticketman


Pre-Chorus:
    G                C
Saw him downtown the other morn
     G                D
So I saw him down an alley
Em                 C                A7              D7
Made him wish he'd not been born, I got that bloody Ticketman


Chorus:
    Em           B7
I'm sorry sir, I meant to pay
   C                              A7
It must've been the devil leading me astray
  G
I lost myself
    Am
Got carried away
C                   D
Never again my dear Ticketman
     Em                B7
It's not my fault, how could it be?
   C                              A7
My ticket must've just've fallen down you see
  G               Am
I trust you don't you trust me
       C           D
Please trust me Mr Ticketman


Verse:
        G                      C
Well my doorbell rang, and the policeman said
     G                D
The Ticketman's just been found dead
Em              C              A7              D7
Hammer wounds upon his head, I got that bloody Ticketman


Pre-Chorus:
    G               C
And now I lie and I count the stars
  G                     D
I count them through my prison bars
Em                    C                        A7              D7
And dream of all them lucky cars, they've been lucky since the Ticketman


Chorus:
    Em           B7
I'm sorry sir, I meant to pay
   C                              A7
It must've been the devil leading me astray
  G
I lost myself
    Am
Got carried away
C                   D
Never again my dear Ticketman
     Em                B7
It's not my fault, how could it be?
   C                              A7
My ticket must've just've fallen down you see
  G               Am
I trust you don't you trust me
       C           D
Please trust me Mr Ticketman


Verse:
         G               C
Well sometimes I try and understand
    G                D
The purpose of that Ticketman
 Em                      C              A7                D7
Perhaps I was wrong and out of hand, in killing that poor Ticketman


Pre-Chorus:
       G               C
But no I hate him, he hated me
     G                  D
And that's how it will always be
   Em                     C           A7              D7
And no more tickets shall I receive, from that bloody Ticketman


Chorus:
    Em           B7
I'm sorry sir, I meant to pay
   C                              A7
It must've been the devil leading me astray
  G
I lost myself
    Am
Got carried away
C                   D
Never again my dear Ticketman
     Em                B7
It's not my fault, how could it be?
   C                              A7
My ticket must've just've fallen down you see
  G               Am
I trust you don't you trust me
       C           D
Please trust me Mr Ticketman


Outro:
    G                C
Oh tickets, tickets everywhere
        G                      D
They're in my clothes, they're in my hair
Em                C                    A7              D7
No-one else much seemed to care, but I hated that poor Ticketman
    G                C
Oh tickets, tickets everywhere
        G                      D
They're in my clothes, they're in my hair
Em                C                    A7              D7
No-one else much seemed to care, but I hated that poor Ticketman

Woohoo!
