BmBm/A
"You're so free," that's what everybody's telling me
GABm
Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee
BmBm/A
Something's wrong, got a feeling that I don't belong
GABm
As if I had come from outer space, out of place, like King Kong
CHORUS
GmGm/C#
I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
GmGm/C#
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
FmFm/B
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
FmFm/BG
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown
VERSE
BmBm/A
Like a doll, like a puppet with no will at all
GABm
And somebody told me how to talk, how to walk, how to fall
BmBm/A
Can't complain, I've got no-one but myself to blame
GABm
Something's happening I can't control, lost my hold, is it safe?
CHORUS
GmGm/C#
I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
GmGm/C#
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
FmFm/B
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
FmFm/BG
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown
G O

BmBm/A
"Look this way, just a little smile," is what they say
GABm
"You look better on the photograph if you laugh, that's okay"
BmBm/A
"You're so free," that's what everybody's telling me
GABm
Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee
CHORUS
GmGm/C#
I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
GmGm/C#
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
