AmG Mr. Tinker was a tailor FEDCBbD# And he had a neon sign above his door AmG And he cooked his meals and he tried to sleep FEDC D# In a two room shack directly behind the store
GD#D#maj7 Above his dresser was a picture of his wife who passed awa-aa-ay GD#DE And next to that there was a picture of the boy who couldn’t sta-aa-ay
Mr. Tinker was a jealous man And he never smiled to the people who came to the store And he envied them for the lifes they lived and the fun they had And the colorful things they wore
It isn’t easy for a tailor when there’s nothing left to sew He wishes he could mend his life but then there’s no one left to show
AmG#G+ F# Pa-pa-pa-para-pa-pa-pa, poor Mr. Tinker AmG#G+ F# Pa-pa-pa-para-pa-pa-pa, poor Mr. Tailor
Mr. Tinker was a tailor And the tailor has a well respected trade But who needs Mr. Tinker When all the suits you buy are already made
P-|a-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, poor Mr. Tinker P-|a-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, poor Mr. Tailor
