NO CAPO
[Intro]
E E7 Bm F#m
E E7 Bm F#m
[Verse 1]
E E7 Bm F#m
An archbishop tried my patience
E E7 Bm F#m
Got under my skin
E E7 Bm F#m
The telephone delivered my message
E E7 Bm F#m
And the cops crashed in
[Pre-Chorus]
E E7
Oh, the judge knew well
Bm A E E7 Bm F#m
There is conscience in a jail cell
E E7
But I know right from wrong
D A E E7 Bm F#m
Her voice is good and strong
[Chorus]
C#m E
Jim, hold tight
Bm A E C#m
You know it'll be all right
F# A E E7 Bm F#m
Jim, it'll be all right
[Instrumental]
E E7 Bm F#m
[Verse 2]
E E7 Bm F#m E E7 Bm F#m
My angel was caged and lonely in an old pet shop
E E7 Bm F#m E E7 Bm F#m
I called her Sadie now she tells me when to go and stop
E E7 Bm A E E7 Bm F#m
When my knuckles go white Sadie is by my side
E E7 D A E E7 Bm F#m
I've got Sadie inside my backpack day and night
[Chorus]
C#m E
Jim, hold tight
Bm A E C#m
You know it'll be all right
F# A E E7 Bm F#m
Jim, it'll be all right
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
E E7 Bm F#m E E7 Bm F#m
I'm prone to perceiving zombies in the beaurocrat's eyes
E E7 Bm F#m E E7 Bm F#m
They cast their grim aspersions on Sadie mine
E E7 Bm A E E7 Bm F#m
Oh, the pharmacist knows, there is power in placebo
E E7 D A E E7 Bm F#m
But Sadie's the real deal, tells me what to know and feel
E E7 D A E E7 Bm F#m
But Sadie's the real deal, tells me what to know and feel
[Chorus]
C#m E
Jim, hold tight
Bm A E C#m
You know it'll be all right
F# A C#m
Jim, it'll be all right
E Bm A E C#m
Hold tight, you know it'll be all right
F# A G F# E
Jim, it'll be all right
