The Lizards

   C                  G/B      
Passing through the corridor I 
Gm/Bb         F/A
came upon an aging knight
      Fm/Ab                   
Who leaned against the wall in 
         C/G   F#m7
gnarly armor
 G            G/F              E7
He was on his way to see the king
Fo     Fo/Ab  Fo/B
Wilson Wilson Wilson
     C                   G/B   
He led me through the streets of 
           Gm/Bb
Prussia talking
      F/A                Fm/Ab
As he tried to crush a bug that 
                            C/G
scurried underneath his boot heel
     G                G/F           
      E7  Eo
He said there was a place where we 
should go
        F                  F/F#   
So he lead me through the forest 
       G          G/G#
to the edge of a lagoon by which
     Am              A/A#         
We wandered 'til we reached a 
     F/A
bubbly spring
      F/A            Fm/Ab     
The knight grew very quiet as we 
     C/G
stood there
         G             G/F        
Then he lifted up his visor and he
  G/E              D6          C
 turned to me and he began to sing


[Chorus 1]
He said I come from the land of 
 G
darkness
           F                     C
He said I come from the land of doom
He said I come from the land of 
  G
Gamehendge
           F               C
From the land of the big baboon
                           G
But I'm never never going back there
       F            C
And I couldn't if I tried
Cause I come from the land of 
 G
Lizards
         F                G
And the Lizards they have died
         F                 G
And the Lizards they have died
         F                 G
And the Lizards they have died
         F                 C
And the Lizards they have died

   C                 G/B          
He told me that the Lizards were a
  Gm/Bb          F/A
 race of people practically extinct
           Fm/Ab               C/G
From doing things smart people 
        F#m7
don't do
G                   G/F           E7
   Fo  Fo/Ab  Fo/B  Fo/D
He said that he was once a Lizard 
too
     C             G/B            
His name was Rutherford the Brave 
    Gm/Bb      F/A
and he was on a quest to save
    Fm/Ab                         
His people from the fate that lay 
C/G        C6/G
before them
       G             G/F        E7
Their clumsy end was perilously near
    F                F/F#         
The Lizards would be saved, he 
      G                G/G#
said, if they could be enlightened
       Am              Am/Bb 
By the writings of the Helping 
            F/A
Friendly Book
   F/A            Fm/Ab       C/G
In all of Prussia only one existed
    G             G/F            
And Wilson had declared that any 
G/E             D              C
person who possessed it was a crook


[Chorus 2]
He said I come from the land of 
 G
darkness
           F                     C
He said I come from the land of doom
He said I come from the land of 
 G
Gamehendge
         F                 C
From the land of the big baboon
                           G
But I'm never never going back there
        F            C
And I couldn't if I tried
Cause I come from the land of 
G
Lizards
         F                 G
And the Lizards they have died
         F                 G
And the Lizards they have died
        F                 G
And the Lizards they have died
        F                 C
And the Lizards they have died

[Verse 3]
    C                 G/B   
The Helping Friendly Book, it 
          Gm/Bb              
seemed, possessed the ancient 
   F/A
secrets
                    Fm/Ab      
Of eternal joy and never-ending 
  C/G     F#m7
splendor
    G                G/F           
E7   Fo  Fo/Ab  Fo/B   Fo/D
The trick was to surrender to the 
flow
    C             G/B
We walked along beneath the moon
    Gm/Bb               F/A
He lead us through the bush 'till 
soon
    F/A            Fm/Ab      
We saw before our eyes a raging 
   C/G    F#m7
river
G                     G/F           
 E7    Eo
He said that we could swim it if we 
tried
      F              F/F#         
And saying this the knight dove in
    G                G/G#
 forgetting that his suit of arms
       Am              Am/Bb      
Would surely weigh him down and so
    F/A
 he sunk
    F/A          Fm/Ab         
And as his body disappeared before 
C/G
me
   G                G/F      
I bowed my head in silence and 
     G/E               D          
remembered all the thoughts that 
         C
he had thunk


[Chorus 3]
He said I come from the land of 
 G
darkness
          F                      C
He said I come from the land of doom
He said I come from the land of 
 G
Gamehendge
          F                C
From the land of the big baboon
                           G
But I'm never never going back there
        F            C
And I couldn't if I tried
Cause I come from the land of 
G
Lizards
         F                 G
And the Lizards they have died
         F                G
And the Lizards they have died
        F                  G
And the Lizards they have died
         F                 G
Whoah Whoah Whoah Whoah Whoah
