I'm going to sing a song called,
The Wolf Was Really a Diamond.
Here we go.
[G] Pushing through the market square,
[Em] So many mothers sighing,
[A] News had just come over,
We [C] had five years left of crying,
[G] News got wet and told us,
[Em] The wolf was really a diamond.
[E] [A] Cried so much,
His face was wet,
[Dm] So [C] I knew,
He was not lying.
I [G] heard cellophones,
Harbour house,
Baby melodies,
[Bm] I [Em] saw boys,
Toys, electric cars,
And TVs,
[A] My brain hurt like a warehouse,
I had no room to spare,
I [C] had to cram so many things,
Just everything in there,
[Em] And all [Am] the fat,
And all the skinny people,
[B] [C]
And all the tall and [Am] short people,
[C]
And all the [G] nobody people,
[C]
And all the [D] somebody people,
And all the nobody people, Never thought,
I'd need [A] so many people.
I'd need so many people.
[C]
[G] A girl my age went off her head,
[Bm] [Em] He had some tiny [E] children,
[Em] [A] The black hand that pulled her off,
[Em] [C] I think,
She would have killed him,
[G] The soldier with a broken arm,
[Bm] And he [Em] stood upstairs,
On the wheels [E] of a Cadillac,
[Em] [A] The carpenter kissed the feet of the priest,
[C] And the grill threw up at the sight of that,
[G] I think I saw you in an ice cream parlor,
[Em] Drinking milkshakes,
Cold and long,
[A] Smiling and waving,
And looking so [C] fine,
Don't think you knew,
You were in the song,
[G] And it was cold,
And it rained,
And I felt like an actor,
[Em] And I thought of more,
And I wanted to get back there,
[A] Your face,
Your race,
The way that you talk,
[C] I kissed you, You're beautiful,
I want you to [G] walk,
We've got five years,
But I've got my eyes,
[Em] Five years,
What a surprise,
[A] He's a five year,
My brain hurts a lot,
[C] He's a five year,
And so we go,
[G] We go five years,
That's all I [Em] ask,
Five years,
What a surprise,
[A] He's a five year,
My brain hurts a lot,
[F] He's a [C] five year,
That's all we got,
[G] We go five years,
[Em]
Five years,
My brain hurts a lot,
[A] Five years,
We [C] go five years,
[G] He's a five year,
That's all I [Em] ask, Five years,
What a surprise,
[A] Five years,
My brain hurts,
[Am] Five years,
[C] Five years,
That's all we [G] got,
[Em] [E]
