"Let's sing another song, boys, this one has grown old and bitter..."

Intro: A

         A            E                  A      Asus4       A   
Ah his fingernails, I see they're broken        

 D                            A      Asus4       A   
His ships, they're all on fire         

 Bm                                          
The moneylender's lovely little daughter

A                                      Asus4       A   
Ah, she's eaten, she's eaten with desire       

 C#m                             F#m (iv)       
She spies him through the glasses

           C#m          D                A      Asus4       A   
From the pawnshops of her wicked father       

 C#m                       F#m (iv)           
She hails him with a microphone

                 C#m                  D             A         Asus4       A   
That some poor singer, just like me, had to leave her       

 Bm                         A       Asus4       A   
She tempts him with a clarinet       

 F#m                   E       
She waves a Nazi dagger

 A                E            A      Asus4       A   
She finds him lying in a heap         

              E         A      Asus4       A   
She wants to be his woman        

 D                                              
He says, "Yes, I just might go to sleep

             A                                       Asus4       A  
But kindly leave, leave the future, leave it open."

 Bm                             
He stands where it is steep

        A                                            Asus4       A   
Oh I guess he thinks that he's the very first one        

 C#m                            F#m (iv)         
His hand upon his leather belt now

                   C#m           D              A      Asus4       A   
Like it was the wheel of some big ocean liner        

 C#m                                 F#m (iv)             
And she will learn to touch herself so well

             C#m            D         A      Asus4       A   
As all the sails burn down like paper      

 Bm                      A      Asus4       A   
And he has lit the chain         

 F#m                     E     
Of his famous cigarillo

 A                               E                    A      Asus4       A   
Ah, they'll never, they'll never ever reach the moon         

                   E                A      Asus4       A   
At least not the one that we're after        

 Bm                                                                  
It's floating broken on the open sea, look out there, my friends

          A                    
And it carries no survivors

 C#m                               F#m (iv)          
But let's leave these lovers wondering

       C#m            D         A      Asus4       A   
Why they cannot have each other      

 C#m                         F#m (iv)           
And let's sing another song, boys

               C#m       D         A      Asus4       A   
This one has grown old and bitter       

          Bm                                           
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

 A                            
La, la, la, la, la, la,...

 Bm               
La, la, la...

 A       
La...

 Bm     
...
