[D] [G] [D] [G]
Cause I [D] lost my job [G] two weeks before [D] Christmas [G]
And I [D] talked to Jesus at the sewer [G]
And the Pope said it was none of his God-[D]damned business [G]
While the [D] rain drank champagne [G]
My Estonian Archangel came and got [D] me wasted [G]
Cause the [D] sweetest kiss I ever got [G] is the one I've never [D] tasted [G]
Oh but they'll [D] take their bonus [G] pay to [F#m] Molly Mc[A]Donald,
[D] Neon ladies, [G] beauty is that which obeys, [F#m] is bought or [A] borrowed
[D] [G]
Cause my [D] heart's become a crooked hotel [G] full of [D] rumours [G]
But it's [D] I who pays the rent [G] for these fingered-face out-of-[D]tuners [G]
And I make [D] 16 solid half hour friendships [G] every [D] evening [G]
Cause your [D] queen of hearts who is half a stone
And likes to laugh a-[G]lone is always threatening you with [D] leaving [G]
Oh but they play [D] those token [G] games [F#m] on Willy Thomp-[A]son
[D] And give a medal to replace the [G] son [F#m] of Mrs. Annie John[A]-son
[D] [G]
Cause they [D] told me everybody's got to pay their dues [G]
And I explained that I had over-[D]paid them [G]
So over-[D]dued I went to the company store [G]
and the clerk there said that they had just [D] been invaded [G]
So I [D] set sail in a teardrop [G] and escaped beneath the door-[D]sill [G]
Cause the [D] smell of her perfume [G] echoes in my [D] head still [G]
[D] [G] [D] [G]
Cause I [D] see my people trying to drown the sun [G]
In weekends of whiskey [D] sours [G]
Cause how [D] many times can you wake up in this comic [G] book and plant [D] flowers? [G]
[D] [G] [D] [G]
[D] [C] [Bb] [D]
[D]
