[G#m]
[B] [F#m] Oh, [Bm] [A] now she hides an attic concealed on a [D] shelf
[Em] [Bm] One [E] volume's literature based on a [B] cell
[A] [E] And runs across [D#] the page [E] like some tiny elf
[B] Going out it's hard to [Bm] find
Stuff [F#m] way back in her mind
[B]
Winds up spending all of her time
[Am] Trying to memorize [D]
every line
[A] Alright, [D#m] [A] alright, sweet lord
[E] Sweet [A] [D] [E] lady of death wants [F#m] me to [Em] die
[A] [Em]
[A] So she can come sit [Em] by my [A] bedside and sigh
[Em]
[Bm] [A] Wipe away the tears from all my [D] friend's [E] eyes
Then softly [B] she will explain [F#m] just exactly
Who was to blame [G#m] for causing me to go insane
[F#m] And finally blow [Bm] out my brains
[F#m]
Glory, [D] [E] [A] alright, [E]
[A] I [Em] know
It's shame and a [D] pity you were [F] raised
[G] [D] Up [Dm] in a [Em] city and her nether

[Em] [D#] [Em]
She's [A] left the old [Em] secrets [A] engraved in her [E] back
[D] [Em] And her [A] face keeps [E] flashing that she's got the knack
But you know [G#m] when you look into her eyes
[F#m] All she's learned she's had to memorize
[G#m] And the only way you'll ever get her high
[D] Is to let her do her thing and then watch you die [A] She's alright
[D] [E] [F#m] [D#] [A]
[E] [A] She's the one who [B] gives us all those magical things
[C#] [A] Reads us [Em] stories out of [F#m] each sheet
[D#] [F#m] And [Em] she bows [A] it out a [E] whole new bow to get a drink
But when you put on your [B] hand
Makes you [F#m] one of the angel band
[G#m] And gives you the power to be a man
But [D] what it does for her you never quite [F#m] understand She's alright
[G]
She's [A] alright

It's shame and a pity [D] you were [Gm] raised
