E He set out with a backpack B a compass in hand E To steal Mona Lisa BF# And that was his plan E a modern day outlaw B He'll take what he can E And vanish before you BF# Like tracks in the sand
EG#m His pockets were full but his heart was so heavy EG#mD#m And all these material things can be deadly if EF#BG#mF# No one is there who will share when you're seventy-one
EBC#mB If only someone EC#mB Filled the spaces G#mF#EBF# He might settle down
E He met her on Tuesday B On his way back from France E He rolled up the painting BF# He stole with his hands E And even Da Vinci G#m Couldn't have sketched E a more perfect woman BF# Than the one that he met
EF#G#m His pockets were full but his heart was so heavy EF#BG#m And all these material things can be deadly if EF#BG#mF# No one is there who will share when you're seventy-one
EC#mB If only someone EB Filled the spaces G#mF#ED#mF# He might settle down
E Settle down G#mF# Settle down E Settle down G#mF# Settle down
E He woke up in the morning B With nothing around E She left with the portrait BF# No trace of her found E She was the outlaw G#m She was the one E She took the bounty BF# And left him with none
EF#G#mB His pockets aren't full and his heart is still empty EG#mD#m And falling in love it can be just as deadly EF#BG#mF# And no one is there who will care when he's seventy-one
EC#mB If only someone EC#mB Filled the spaces G#mF# He might settle down
