Chords with lyrics
verse 1
E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm
Fergus Laing is a beast of a man
G+G A augmentedA E minorEm
He stitches up and fleeces
D MajorD E minorEm
He wants to manicure the world
G+G A augmentedA E minorEm
And sell it off in pieces
G+G
He likes to build his towers high
A augmentedA
He blocks the sun out of the sky
B minorBm A augmentedA
In the penthouse the champagne's dry
E minorEm
And slightly gassy
verse 2
E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm
Fergus Laing, he works so hard
G+G A augmentedA E minorEm
As busy as a bee is
D MajorD E minorEm
Fergus Laing has seventeen friends
G+G A augmentedA E minorEm
All as dull as he is
G+G
His seventeen friends have seventeen wives
A augmentedA
All the perfect shape and size
B minorBm A augmentedA
They wag their tails and bat their eyes
E minorEm
Just like Lassie
A augmentedA
Fergus Laing he builds and builds
E minorEm
Yet small is his erection
A augmentedA
Fergus Laing has a fine head of hair
E minorEm D MajorD
When the wind's in the right direction
C majorC B7B7
the wind's in the right direction
verse 3
E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm
Fergus Laing and his seventeen friends
G+G A augmentedA E minorEm
They live inside a bubble
D MajorD E minorEm
There they withdraw and shut the door
G+G A augmentedA E minorEm
At any sign of trouble
G+G
Should the peasants wail and vent
A augmentedA
And ask him where the money went
B minorBm A augmentedA
He'll simply say, it's all been spent
E minorEm
On being classy
verse 4
E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm
Fergus' buildings reach the sky
G+G A augmentedA E minorEm
Until you cannot see 'em
D MajorD E minorEm
He thinks the old stuff he pulls down
G+G A augmentedA E minorEm
Belongs in a museum
G+G
His own fair home is on the Park
A augmentedA
an airy jewel, a city ark
B minorBm A augmentedA
Hung with Picasso, hung with Braque
E minorEm
but nothing brassy
A augmentedA
Fergus Laing he builds and builds
E minorEm
Yet small is his erection
A augmentedA
Fergus Laing has a fine head of hair
E minorEm D MajorD
When the wind's in the right direction
C majorC B7B7 E minorEm
the wind's in the right direction
Alternate verse 4
G+G
His fits are famous on the scene
A augmentedA
The shortest fuse, so cruel, so mean
B minorBm A augmentedA
But don't call him a drama queen
E minorEm
Like Shirley Bassey
E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm
Fergus Laing he flaunts the law
G+G A augmentedA E minorEm
But one day he'll be wired
D MajorD E minorEm
And as they drag him off to jail
G+G A augmentedA E minorEm
We'll all shout, "You're fired!"
