[C] _ _ [Eb] _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ Why, it's a man [Am] _ down ten!
What?
_ _ _ [N] _ Oil can!
Oil can!
Did you say something?
Oil can!
He said oil can!
Oil can what?
Oil _ can!
Oh, here it is!
Where do you want to put oil first?
In his mouth!
He [E] said his mouth! _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
My goodness!
[N] I can talk again!
Oh, please, oil my arms!
Oil my elbows! _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Did that hurt?
Oh no, it felt wonderful.
That acts up for ages. _ _
How did you ever get like this?
Well, when I was flesh and blood like you,
I fell in love with a munchkin maiden whose mother hated me.
So to keep me from marrying her daughter,
she hired the Wicked Witch of the West to put an evil spell on my ex.
When I tried to chop down a tree, I chopped my leg off instead.
He chopped your leg off?
That's terrible!
But by good fortune, I knew of a wonderful tinsman
who made me a new leg, almost [E] as good as the old one.
So back I went to work.
And you [N] know what happened then?
Something terrible, I bet.
I swung my axe, and dang me if it didn't take my other leg off.
_ _ You should have gotten a new axe.
I guess you're right.
But I got a new leg instead, and that guy went to work.
You sure were persistent.
This time I chopped off both of my arms.
Oh my!
Now I can see how you chopped one arm off,
but how did you manage to chop them both?
I told you, the axe was enchanted.
_ I get it.
See, Dorothy, if I had a brain,
I could have figured that one out for myself.
I sometimes wish I hadn't got a new pair of arms,
because the last time I swung my axe was the worst time of all.
Oh, I don't want to hear [E] this.
What happened?
I split myself right down [N] the middle.
Oh, you poor thing!
So the tinsman gave me a new head and a new body.
But on the way home, I got caught in a terrible rainstorm and rusted solid.
I've been here ever since.
Well, you're perfect now!
Oh, my neck, [Bb] my neck. _ _ _ _
_ Perfect?
[N] Just bang on my chest if you think I'm perfect.
Go ahead, bang on it.
[Em] _ _ _
_ _ [N] Beautiful!
What an echo! _
It's empty.
The tinsman forgot to give me a heart.
No heart?
No heart.
_ And as long as I have no heart,
I can never love my bunchkin maiden.
Oh, don't cry, tin man.
You'll rust again.
I used to carve her name on every tree.
You can say that again.
[C] Oh, but_
_ [Db] _ [Bm] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ Setting their traps, _ _ _
she was always a dear kind.
_ [D] The tinsman gave me tin fingers,
but forgot to put a [G] heart inside. _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [G] _ When I found some empty cups,
he showed me all his medals.
And since [E] I've known him long,
_ I think just [Am] because I'm his woman
[D] and I keep the honor you [G] _ only add up, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ [Em] I've been here [Am] _ _
[D] long and sure to [G] the end.
But _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] they show [G] me a [Bb] lifetime [E] here
where [Am] all [D] the voices [G] _ hold.
[Gb] We never ask!
_ [B] _
_ [Em] _ _ I [A] hear a beat.
A [Bb] beat.
_ _ [D] _ [G] Just to register [Db] emotion.
_ [G] Jealousy, devotion.
And they leave me in the park.
_ _ [Am] I would stay young and chipper
[E] and I'd lock it [D] with [G] a zipper
if I only had a [Bb] heart.
[Ab] _ [Gm] _ [Fm] _ [Eb] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [E] _ _ _
_ [Abm] _ _ _ [Gb] _ [B] _ _ _
[Bm] _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ [Abm] _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [Db] _ [Cm] _ [E] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [C] Oh, [Bb] I may be posthuman,
[C] and I could be kinder,
you and [Dm] I'd be friends.
With a sparrow,
[G] that's a boy who shoots the arrow.
I would [F] stay young [D] and chipper
[C] and I'd lock it with a zipper
if [F] I only _ had a heart.
_ [C] _ _ [Db] _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
