D G A
He slips in through the back door
D Bm G A
And he helps himself to the patients' medicine
D G A
And he likes to look important
D G A
And he always looks like he's impotent
G
And each tale that he tells of the lives that he's saved
D
Is a spade full of dirt as he's digging his grave
G
And the deep blackened hallow he's patched with a badge
A
Is the happiness he's never had
[Chorus]
D
And he says
G Bm A
"It's all right, they know me here
D G Bm A
It's all right, they know me, they know me"
D G Bm A
[Verse 2]
D A
His flames are yesterday's tinsel
D G A
And his belly's the sail that propels him
A
Onto the rocks
D G Bm A
And you know that even the noble Don Quixote would
D G Bm A
Call him a mile away for a windmill
G
And each Sunday that passes he's rid of his sins
D
And he's ready to do them all over again
G
And God won't be mad for the money he stole
A
He put some in the offering bowl
[Chorus]
D
And he says
G Bm A
"It's all right, they know me here
D G Bm A
It's all right, they know me, they know me"
D G Bm A
[Bridge]
G
Soon comes the moment that all souls await
D
Just as sure as St. Peter will padlock the gate
G
But deep in his wallet's a shiny new coin
A
So, he turns and he winks and says
[Chorus]
D G Bm A
"It's all right, they know me here
D G Bm A
It's all right, they know me, they know me
D G Bm A
It's all right, they know me here
D G Bm A
It's all right, they know me, they know me"
D G Bm A
[Otro]
D
Devils, for liars, put brands on the fires
G
And everyone burns, with your glowing, red name on it
D A G
Finally, you've come to a place where they know you well
