G [Verse]G I was wallowing in squalor when a note came through the mailC From a light-fingered acquaintanceG who'd been lingering in jailC He had served a year of sentenceG when the fools had set him freeD And he'd had a good idea he saidG he'd like to put to me [Verse]G I said come on then, let's have it, there's a twinkle in his eyeC He says let me put it this way,G have you ever wondered whyC The rich have so much money when,G if push should come to crunchD You can only be in one room andG only eat one lunch [Verse]G A cogent observation, but I didn't have the timeC I presumed this exposition must beG leading to a crimeC He said wait a precious moment I amG trying to set the sceneContinúa después del anuncioD If you liberate your mind my friendG you'll soon see what I mean [Verse]Gm He said have you ever wondered how a horse becomes a glue?Cm Or how my uncle's pencil reached aGm garden in Peru?Cm And have you tried valerian, theGm side-effects are strangeG There is no such thing as accident,D Gm for everything's arranged [Verse]G I said listen friend your time inside has clearly flipped your mindC These are merely hypotheticals IG haven't got the timeC If it's blackmailing on Snapchat orG a hold-up count on meD But this claptrap that you'reG spouting now just sounds like poetry [Verse]Gm Do not be so narrow-minded, my erstwhile accomplice trilledCm I've had lots of time for poetryGm it's left me rather thrilledCm I've been reading the New YorkGm School: Frank O'Hara, Kenneth KochG And they've given me more pleasureD Gm than a thousand dirty jokes [Break]G GC GC GD G [Verse]Gm Well he's published by Macmillan now, he got a big advanceCm Which he spent on buying aGm farmhouse in a pleasant part of FranceCm His first book won a Pulitzer, he'sGm up for a NobelG They say you can't change humanD Gm nature but he's doing rather well [Otro]G GC GC GD G
