Lennie Bold chords by Paladin

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
C G Em Am F G

Verse:
C
Meet a woman of top hats,
F                G
Silly frowns and too much cats
C
Greet her gently in the hall,
F                  G
Silent face stands above her shawl

C

All the neighbors claim she’s mad
F               G
Full of hatred, might I add
C
Even though she seems so cruel
F                        G
My feelings tell me she ain’t no fool

C      G         Em          Am
What a woman she is, or once was
C            G        Em             Am
Why does she live so alone, we don’t know

       F         Em
But we will find out
   Am
Oh yes!
   G
We will find out!

Chorus:
C             G
Knock, knock, Lennie Bold
Am            F
How are you today?
C         G
Don’t you be so cold
Am           F                  G
I can be the friend you need so much

C       G
Oh, no, Lennie Bold
Am                 F
There’s no need to swear today
C        G
Although you are old
     Am             F                G
Just let me be your guiding star for now

Verse:
C
Every day she’s dressed in black,
F               G
Hunching due to hurting back
C
And every winter she does go
F                G
To a grave which I don’t know

C
Little kids are scared of her
F               G
And her past is full of blur
C
She once kept a smiley face
F                 G
But now it’s gone without a trace

C      G          Em          Am
What a person she is, or once was
C            G        Em             Am
Why does she live so alone, we don’t know

       F         Em
But we will find out
   Am
Oh yes!
   G
We will find out!

Chorus:
C             G
Knock, knock, Lennie Bold
Am            F
How are you today?
C         G
Don’t you be so cold
Am           F                  G
I can be the friend you need so much

C       G
Oh, no, Lennie Bold
Am                 F
There’s no need to swear today
C        G
Although you are old
     Am             F                G
Just let me be your guiding star for now

Bridge:
    B7
But nobody knew that Mrs. Bold
Once had a son whose name was John
    Em
And he was a loner, bullied at school
Am
He got a gun but not for fun
    G              B7
And put one bullet in his brain

Solo:
C G Am F x2

Chorus:
C             G
Knock, knock, Lennie Bold
Am            F
How are you today?
C         G
Don’t you be so cold
Am           F                  G
I can be the friend you need so much

C       G
Oh, no, Lennie Bold
Am                 F
There’s no need to swear today
C        G
Although you are old
     Am             F                G
Just let me be your guiding star for now

C       G
Oh, no, Mrs. Bold
Am               F
Won't you let me comfort you?
C        G
Hold on, Lennie Bold
     Am              F            G
Does no one feel the way you burn inside?
