RETURN TO OZ – SCISSOR SISTERS
Intro:(Acoustic Guitar, 72bpm, in correct key for piano)
C#m
Verse 1:
C#m
Once there was a man who had a
E B
little too much time on his hands;
G#
he never stopped to think that he was getting
A
older. When his
C#m
night came to an end, he tried to
C
grasp his for his last friend, and
G Bm
pretend that he could wish himself health on a four-leaf
A
clover.
Chorus:
C
He said is this the return to Oz? The grass is
F7 G#
dead, the gold is brown and the sky has
C
claws. There’s a
C
wind-up man walking round and round; what
F7 G#
once was Emerald City's now a crystal
C
town.
Verse 2:
C#m
Three o'clock in the morning, you get a
E B
phone call from the Queen with a hundred
G#
heads, she says that they're all
A
dead. She tried the
C#m
last one on, it couldn't speak, fell off, and
C
now she just wanders the halls, thinking
G Bm
nothing. Thinking nothing at
A
all.
Chorus:
C
She said is this the return to Oz? The grass is
F7 G#
dead, the gold is brown and the sky has
C
claws. There’s a
C
wind-up man walking round and round; what
F7 G#
once was Emerald City's now a crystal
C
town.

Verse 3: (-Electric Guitar)
C#m
The wheelies are cutting pavement, and the
E B
skeksies at the rave are meant to
G#
hide, deep inside their sunken
A
faces and their wild rolling
C#m
eyes. But their callous words
C
reveal, that they can no longer
G Bm
feel love or sex appeal; the
A
patchwork girl has come to cinch the…
Chorus:
C
deal. Do return to Oz; we
F7 G#
thank the world with smiles and clenching
C
jaws. Please
C
help me friend from coming down. I’ve
F7 G#
lost my face and now it can’t be
C
found. Is
C
this the return to Oz? The grass is
F7 G#
dead the gold is brown and the sky has
C
claws. There’s a
C
wind-up man walking round and round; what
F7 G#
once was Emerald City's now a crystal
C
town.
