[Eb]
[Bbm]
I'm a man of power and I've been [Db] [Ebm] [Bbm]
hunting in salt.
[Ebm] My little white [Bbm] grains are nothing but waste, soft and [Db] deadly [Ebm] and bitter to taste.
But I'm a world [Bbm] of power and [Ebm] all know it's [Bbm] true.
Use [Db] me once and you'll know it too.
[Gb]
I can make a mere schoolboy [Bbm] forget his books.
I can make a world famous beauty neglect her looks.
I can make a good man forsake his wife and send a greedy man to prison for the rest of his life.
I can make a man forsake his country and flag.
[Abm] Make a girl sell her [Bbm] body for a five dollar bag.
[Eb] Some think my adventures are [Bb] joy and a thriller, but I'll put a gun in [Bbm] your hand and make you a cop.
[Ebm] And [Bbm] sell a fan bag, I've found my way.
To heads of state, to children at play.
[Ab] [Ebm] I financed in China, ran in Japan.
[Bbm] I'm respected in Turkey and I'm legal in [Ebm] Siam.
[Bbm]
I take my addicts and make them steal, [Eb] borrow, beg.
[Ab] Then [Bbm] they search for a vein in the arm or the [Ebm] leg.
[Bbm] So be you Italian,
[Ebm] Jewish, [F] [Ebm] [Bbm] black or mix.
I can make the most pearl [Ebm] of men forget their sex.
[Db] So now, so now my [Ebm] man, you must [Bbm] do your best to keep up your habit until you're arrested.
Now the police have taken you.
[Ebm] I'm on my way.
[Bb]
[Db] Do you [Ebm] think they dare to fire me, I who am king?
[Bbm] [Ab] Now you must lie [Ebm] in that county jail [Bb] [Ab] where I can't [Db] get to you by a visitor [Ebm] or mail.
So squint with [Ab] discomfort, wiggle and cough.
Six [Bb] days of [Db] madness and [Ab] you might throw [Gb] me off.
Lest me a [Bbm] name, defy me in speech.
[Ab] But you pick [Bb] me up right now if I were in your reach.
[Db]
All through your sentence, you [Ebm] become resolved to your fate.
Fear [Bbm] not, young man and woman, I'll be [Eb] waiting at the gate.
[Abm]
[Eb] Don't be afraid, don't run, I'll not [Ebm] chase.
Sure, my name is [Bb] Helwin and you'll [Eb] be back for a taste.
Behold, you're hooked.
[Fm]
[Ebm] Your foot is in the [Db] stirrup [Ebm] and make [Bb] haste, mount [Ebm] the steed and ride him well.
[F] [Bb] For the white [Bbm] horse of Helwin [Eb] will ride [Fm] you [Ebm] to hell.
[Bbm] [Ab] To hell.
[Eb] [Ebm] Will ride you [Abm] to hell until [Ebm] you are dead.
[Bbm]
[Ebm] [Bb] [Ebm] Dead, [Ab] brother.
Dead.
[Ebm]
This is a revolution in the mind.
[Db] Get your mind together [F] and get [Bbm] away from drugs.
[Db] That's the plan.
[Ebm] You have been listening to Late Night [Db] Tales.
