"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
