Chords for Anne Kerry Ford Sings "Pirate Jenny" by Kurt Weill

[Gm] _ _ You gentlemen can watch while I'm scrubbing the floors.
I'm scrubbing the [D] floors while you're gawking.
_ Maybe once you tip man, it makes you feel swell.
[Bbm] In a ratty [Fm] [Eb] waterfront in a [Fm] ratty old [Bbm] hotel.
[Ebm] And you never guess to who you're talking. _ _
Zee be said, nee, bit vain, zee reed.
_ [F] _ _ _ [Db] Suddenly one night, there's a bang in the night.
And you yell, put the [Gbm] bin.
_ [Bm] [D] And you see me kind of [Ebm] go, [Bm] I'm [Ebm] [D] scrubbing.
And you say, _ [Gb] what the hell, she got to [Ab] grin. _ _ _ _ _
[Gbm] And the _ _ _ sherritor, [Dbm] _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] with a skull on its _ _ masthead,
_ [B]
will [A] [Ab] be [Gb] coming [Db] _ _ _
in.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ _ You gentlemen can say, hey girl, finish the floors.
Get upstairs, make [D] your beds, earn your keep here.
You toss me your tips and look out at the [Bbm] ships.
But I'm counting your heads while I make up the beds.
[Ebm] Because there's nobody's going to sleep here. _ _
Tonight, none of you will sleep here.
_ _ [F] _ _ [Fm] Then one night, there'll be [Gbm] a scream in the night.
[Db] And you'll yell, who's [Gbm] that kicking up a row?
_ [Bm] And you'll see [D] me kind of [Ebm] staring [Ab] out the [Ebm] window.
[D] And [Gb] you'll say, _ [D] _ [Gb] [Gbm] what's she got to [Ab] stare at now?
[C] _ _ _
[Gbm] And the _ ship, the black [Dbm] _
_ freighter,
_ _ turns [Bm] _
around in the _ harbor, _ _
[B] _ [A] shooting [Ab] guns [Gb] from [Db] the bow.
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ You gentlemen can wipe up that laugh from your face.
Every building in [D] town is a flat one.
Your whole stinking place will be down to the [Bbm] ground.
Only this cheap [Db] hotel will stand up safe and sound.
And [Ebm] you yell, why the _ _ _ _ hell?
And you yell, why [Eb] the hell?
[Ebm] Spare that one.
_ _ [F] _ _ [Ab] All the night [Ebm] through with [Db] the noise and to-do.
And [Bbm] you wonder, [Ab] who's that [Gbm] person lives up there?
[Abm] And [D] you see [Am] me stepping [Ebm] out into the morning,
[D] looking [Gb] nice, [D] _ [Gb] with a ribbon in my [Bb] hair.
_ [N] _ _ _
[Gbm] And the ship, _ _ [Dbm] the freighter,
_ _ [Bm] runs the _ flag up its mast _ head.
_ [B]
And [A] a cheer [Ab] _ [Gb] rings the [Db]
air.
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ High noontime, the dock is all swarming with men,
coming off of that [D] [E] ghostly freighter.
They're moving in the shadows where nobody can [D] see.
And [Bbm] they're chaining up people.
And they're bringing them to me. _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Un froggen Wilken sollen wir _ töten.
_ [N] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ Ooh, by the clock, _
_ _ [Gbm] _ and so still on the dock,
you [Bbm] can _ hear a _
[Eb] [Bbm] foghorn [Gbm] miles _ [Ab] [Gbm] away. _ _
[Ab] In [D] that _ _ quiet of death, [E] _ [Gb] I'll say, _ [C] _ _
_ right _ now. _ _
[D] And as they _ pile up the [Am] bodies, I'll say,
_ [Db] that'll learn ya. _
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gbm] And the _ ship, the [Dbm] black _ _ freighter, _ _
[Bm] disappears _ out to _ sea.
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _
[A] And on _ [Ab] _ it [Gb] _ _
_ _ is [Db] me. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
