There comes a time feeling [Cm] inferior, _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] standing in front of my mirror. _ _ _
Cold my head in a thousand [C] _ [G] ways, _ _ _ [D] but I came out looking just the same.
_ _ Daddy said, son you better see [C] the world.
[G] _ _
_ I was [D] pretty if you wanted me.
_ But remember one thing, don't lose your _ [G] head. _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] I [D] never spanned the bread, so I got out.
I found
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
a place you could hide [C] away. _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Bm] Big capacity [D] didn't fit in.
_ _ French police wouldn't give me [C] no _ [G] keys.
_ _ _ [D] They claimed I was a [Dm]
[D] nasty pervert.
_ _ Damn along the left, and in my [C] head my heart _ _ [G] _ _
_ was not [D] bound by a human stampede.
_ Got a record for inciting the people.
[C] I _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Bm] went all up on [D] a cop or a fiend. _
I was [Bm] accused.
_ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I moved on.
_ _ Down in Rome I wasn't [G] getting enough. _
_ _ _ _ [D] All the things that keep a young man alive.
_ My body stunk, but I kept [G] my funk. _ _ _
At _ [Bm] a time when I [D] was right out of luck.
_ _ Getting death, but indeed I walked.
_ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] You're looking [D] like a tourist attraction.
_ _ Oh my dear, I better get out of [G] here. _ _ _ _ _
_ Nobody's gonna [D] give no sanction.
I [G] wasn't ready for that.
[D] _ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ moved right out here. _
_ Yeah, listen.
_ On the Peking Ferry I was feeling [C] merry.
_ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ Sailing on my way back [G] [D] here.
_ I fell in love with a slit-eyed [G] _ lady. _ _
_ _ By the [D] light of an eastern moon.
_ _ _ Shangri-La never used [C] a pill.
[G] _ _ _ _
_ [B] She claimed [D] that it. _ _ _
_ She took me off and decked me. _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
Oh, people I was glad [D] I found her.
I _ [G] _ _ [D] found her. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
Wait a minute.
_ _ _ I [C] firmly [D] believe that [G] I. _
_ _ _ _ [D] Didn't need anyone but me.
_ I sincerely thought I was so [G] complete. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Look how wrong [D] you can be.
_ The women I wouldn't let tie [G] my shoe. _ _
_ _ They wouldn't [Bm] give you the [D]
time of day.
But the slit-eyed lady knocked me off my [G] feet. _
_ _ _ God, I [D] thought I found her.
_ And if there was one thing I could tell [G] you. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] To have you on [D] the way down the road.
_ I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shanty [G] O _ 'Keefe. _ _ _
Could this [D] have all been said before?
_ Make a bet that on the bank I'm [G] laughing. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ You didn't have [D] to call me anyway.
