[Verse 1]
G   G/B C     G/B G            
 Lenny  Bruce is  dead but his 
C     G/B   D D7   G
ghost lives on and on
G         D       C        
Never did get any Golden Globe 
     G           C       G/B Am G D
award, never made it to  Synanon
C/G         G
  He was an outlaw
Continúa después del anuncio
C/G          G
  That’s for sure
C/G          G      C    G/B Am
  More of an outlaw than you e-
 G   D
 ver were
G  G/B C     G/B G            
 Lenny Bruce is  gone but his 
C        G/B    D D7   G
spirit’s livin’ on and on

[Verse 2]
G      G/B C   G/B  G         
 Maybe he  had some problems, 
           C      G/B     D       
maybe some things that he couldn’t
 D7   G
 work out
       G        D            C   
But he sure was funny and he sure
          G            C         
 told the truth and he knew what 
G/B    Am      G D
he was talkin’ a-bout
C/G                G
  Never robbed any churches
    C/G                 G
Nor cut off any babies’ heads
        C/G                   
He just took the folks in high 
 G             C        G/B   
places and he shined a light in 
Am   G   D
their beds
G        G/B  C G/B G         
 He’s on some other shore, he 
C      G/B   D    D7 G
didn’t wanna live anymore

[Verse 3]
G  G/B C     G/B G           
 Lenny Bruce is  dead but he 
C      G/B    D D7 G
didn’t commit any  crime
G       D       C     G/B      
He just had the insight to rip 
        C   G/B Am   G   D
off the lid be- fore its time
C/G           G
  I rode with him
C/G         G
  In a taxi once
C/G                  G           
 Only for a mile and a half, 
           C    G/B Am     G  D
seemed like it took a   couple of 
months
G  G/B C     G/B   G          
 Lenny Bruce moved on and the 
C    G/B  D          D7  G
ones that killed him are gone

[Verse 4]
G          G/B  C  G/B G      
 They said that he was sick 
        C      G/B  D D7   G
’cause he didn’t play by the rules
   G           D            C     
He just showed the wise men of his
 G         C G/B   Am   G    D
 day to be nothing more than fools
     C/G                  G
They stamped him and they labeled 
him
          C/G               G
Like they do with pants and shirts
   C/G               G         
He fought a war on a battlefield 
        C G/B Am   G  D
where every victory hurts
G  G/B C     G/B G             
 Lenny Bruce was bad, he was 
  C       G/B  D   D7    G
the brother that you never had
