F
The guilty undertaker sighs
    Am
The lonesome organ grinder cries
    Dm                            C
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
    Bb
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
C
Blow into my face with scorn
         Dm
But it's not that way
                 C
I wasn't born to lose you
  F           Am
I want you, I want you
  Dm          C
I want you so bad
              F
Honey, I want you

    F
The drunken politician leaps
 Am
Upon the street where mothers weep
        Dm
And the saviors who are fast asleep
    C
They wait for you
      Bb
And I wait for them to interrupt
C
Me drinkin' from that broken cup
    Dm
And ask me to
            C
Open up the gate for you
  F           Am
I want you, I want you
  Dm          C
I want you so bad
              F
Honey, I want you

    Am
Now my fathers, they've gone down
Dm
True love they've been without it
    Am
But all their daughters put me down
       Bb                 C
'Cause I don't think about it

F
Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
    Am
And talk with my chambermaid
Dm
She knows that you're not afraid
   C
To look at her
Bb
She is good to me
C
And there's nothing she doesn't see
    Dm
She knows where I'd like to be
C
But it doesn't matter
  F           Am
I want you, I want you
  Dm          C
I want you so bad
         F
Honey, I want you

F
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit
   Am
He spoke to me, I took his flute
Dm
No, I wasn't very cute to him
C
Was I?
      Bb
But I did it, because he lied
C
An because he took you for a ride
    Dm
And because time was on his side
    C
And because I
  F            Am
I want you,  I want you
  Dm          C
I want you so bad
         F
Honey, I want you
