E  A x2


[Verse 1]

        E          A              
Cause I lost my job two weeks 
            E  A
before Christmas
      E                            A
And I talked to Jesus at the sewer
And the Pope said it was none of his
     E               A
 God-damned business


[Verse 2]

          E                   A
While the rain drank champagne
My Estonian Archangel came and got 
E            A
me wasted
          E                       
Cause the sweetest kiss I ever got
A                       E      A
 is the one I've never tasted


[Chorus]

                   E            A  
Oh but they'll take their bonus pay
G#m          B
  to Molly McDonald,
Continúa después del anuncio
E           A                    
 Neon ladies, beauty is that 
       G#m             B
which obeys,  is bought or borrowed

E A


[Verse 3]

         E                       
Cause my heart's become a crooked 
       A          E     A
hotel  full of rumours
         E                  A  
But it's I who pays the rent for 
                             E     
these fingered-face out-of-tuners
 A

           E                 
And I make 16 solid half hour 
            A      E       A
friendships every evening
           E
Cause your queen of hearts who is 
half a stone
                    A              
And likes to laugh alone is always 
                     E       A
threatening you with leaving


[Chorus]

                E            A    
Oh but they play those token games
G#m                  B
    on Willy Thompson
E                                  
 And give a medal to replace the 
A G#m                  B
son    of Mrs. Annie Johnson

E A


[Verse 4]

           E                       
Cause they told me everybody's got 
                  A
to pay their dues
And I explained that I had overpaid 
E      A
them
       E                         
So overdued I went to the company 
       A
store
and the clerk there said that they 
        E             A
had just been invaded
     E                     A  
So I set sail in a teardrop and 
                          E     A
escaped beneath the doorsill
          E                   
Cause the smell of her perfume 
A             E           A
echoes in my head still

[Verse 5]

        E                      
Cause I see my people trying to 
                 A
drown the sun
                       E     A
In weekends of whiskey sours
           E                       
Cause how many times can you wake 
                    A       E 
up in this comic book and plant 
          A
flowers?
