Verse 1:
DmDm
Was he badly mistaken or guided
DmDm
As he'd wandered his valley built in silence?
Bb majorBb
He'd cover his face to speak
Bb majorBb DmDm
As he chewed off his finger to the bone
DmDm
The haze of his coloured days
DmDm Bb majorBb
That march of content as his dignity splits to unveil
A minorAm
His bitter sweetness
Instrumental:
DmDm
Verse 2:
DmDm
The town would shudder and stare
DmDm
At his presence with a single glare
Bb majorBb
As he makes his way through
DmDm
The local square, and he says to them
Bb majorBb DmDm
"You're a broken fence in the yard of annoyance
Bb majorBb FF C majorC DmDm
You're a broken fence in the yard of annoyance"
FF C majorC DmDm
Annoyance

Verse 3:
DmDm
The first time that they saw him laugh
DmDm
Was at the sight of his wilting noose
Bb majorBb DmDm
And their chants were soon reduced to an angry silence
DmDm
He escaped in the shock of the snap
DmDm
His wonderful vanishing act
Bb majorBb DmDm
Was a spectacle but not what anyone expected
Bb majorBb DmDm
The route was planned as much as the brooch pin dagger
Bb majorBb FF C majorC DmDm
The route was planned as much as the brooch pin dagger
Chorus:
