_ _ _ [Bm] standing in front [D] 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 [D] was plenty if you wanted me, _ but remember one thing, don't [C] lose your _ [G] head. _ _
To [Bm] a woman that'll spend [D] your bread.
So I got out, whoo! _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ There was one place you could hide [C] away, _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [D] but here it kept out you didn't fit in.
_ The French police wouldn't give me [C] no keys.
_ [G] _ _ _ [D] They claimed I was a [Dm] [D] nasty pervert, but _ down along the left bank of Monday [C] Morrow, _
[G] _ _ _ was knocked [D] down by a human _ stampede.
Got arrested for inciting a peaceful [C] riot, _ [G] _ _ _
when [Bm] all I wanted [D] was a couple of beans. _
I was [Bm] accused.
Whoo!
[D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ I blew gold.
_ _ Down in Rome I wasn't [G] getting enough, _ _ _ _
_ [D] for the things that keep a young man alive.
_ My body stunk when I pet my [C] [G] funk.
Whoo!
_ _ At [D] a time when I was out of luck, _ _ getting desperate, indeed I was. _
[G] _ _ Yeah, looking [D] like a tourist attraction.
_ _ Oh my dear, I better get out [C] of here.
_ [G] _ _ _
_ _ My victim [D] don't give no sanction.
I [G] wasn't ready for that, no, [D] no. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I moved around the East, yeah.
_ Listen, on the Peking Ferry I was [C] feeling merry.
_ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [D] Sailing on my way [G] back here, [D] _ I fell in love with a slender [C] _ maiden.
[G] _ _ _ By [D] the light of an Eastern moon, _ she sang a lyric I never used [C] to hear.
_ [G] _
_ _ _ _ She claimed [D] that it just ain't natural.
_ _ She took me off her deck and bit [C] my neck.
_ [G] _ _ _
Oh, I peeped out a grand, [D] I found her.
_ _ [G] I did my play, I [D] found her.
Whoo! _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [D]
Wait a minute.
_ _ _ _ _ [G]
[C] I firmly [D] believe that [G] I _ _ _ _ didn't [D] 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 shoes.
_ _ _ They wouldn't give [Bm] you the [D] time of day.
But the slender lady knocked me off [G] my _ feet.
_ _ _ _ God, I [D] wonder what I found.
_ _ And if there was words I could say [G] to you. _ _
_ _ [Bm] To have you on the [D] way down the road.
I couldn't quote you no Dickens.
Shout me [G] old Keith. _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] I've been sad before. _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ You didn't [D] have to come here anyway.
