[Verse]
E A B A G#m F#m E
Furnish me with childish glee, walk me hold me take me to the
A B A G#m F#m E
American embassy and get me, signed up and delivered where you'll have
A B A G#m
a brand new passport photo, from a brand new passport picture booth
F#m E
the film with teeth and hair and eyes,
A B A G#m F#m
and I smile in the flash bulb, in the flash bulb, in the flash bulb of fallen love
E A B A G#m F#m E A
Hope, hope is the thing with feathers, butterflies flutter by my windowside
B A G#m F#m
it's over, it's over forever, or at least until the morning
E A B A
and I shot you, I shot straight at your heart,
G#m F#m E A
but the gun was that type with the little flag, that pops out
B A G#m F#m
that pops out, that pops out with the word BANG written on it
[Chorus]
G#m A
I watched you from a distance, I built myself a day,
F#m B A
just for waiting, just to hear you say
E A B A G#m F#m
"yes, I will come back to the house tonight"
E A B A G#m F#m
yes, I will come back to the house tonight
[Verse]
E A B A
I have just returned from a thousand year time trip
G#m F#m E
and I'll tell you what I saw, I saw
A B A G#m F#m
children holding hands, children kissing in the park, and after dark
E A B A G#m F#m E
spinning, spinning, spinning, and in everything an ice cold whiskey
A B A G#m F#m E
and everybody lives forever, everybody lives together and dreams come true
A B A G#m F#m E
and I~ am swimming, I~ am swimming in a river of love
A B A G#m F#m E
and I~ am pissing, I~ am pissing in my swimming trunks.
A B A G#m F#m E
I can only guess, how it feels to be adored, sloop john b
A B A G#m F#m
watching you glistening, high upon the diving board, sloop, sloop
[Chorus]
G#m A
I watched you from a distance, I built myself a day,
F#m B A
just for waiting, just to hear you say
E A B A G#m F#m
"yes, I will come back to the house tonight"
E A B A G#m F#m
yes, I will come back to the house tonight
E A B A G#m F#m
yes, yes, yes, I will come back to the house tonight
I believe this song is played with mostly bar chords, sometimes sliding from one to another a bit.
but whatever works for you :)
