E, A, E, A, E A E A Cause I lost my job two weeks before Christmas E A E A And I talked to Jesus at the sewer and the Pope said it was none of his God-damned business E A E A While the rain drank champagne my Estonian Archangel came and got me wasted E A E A Cause the sweetest kiss I ever got is the one I've never tasted E A Abm B Oh but they'll take their bonus pay to Molly McDonald, E A Abm B Neon ladies, beauty is that which obeys, is bought or borrowed Cause my heart's become a crooked hotel full of rumours But it's I who pays the rent for these fingered-face out-of-tuners and I make 16 solid half hour friendships every evening Cause your queen of hearts who is half a stone And likes to laugh alone is always threatening you with leaving Oh but they play those token games on Willy Thompson And give a medal to replace the son of Mrs. Annie Johnson Cause they told me everybody's got to pay their dues And I explained that I had overpaid them So overdued I went to the company store and the clerk there said that they had just been invaded So I set sail in a teardrop and escaped beneath the doorsill Cause the smell of her perfume echoes in my head still Cause I see my people trying to drown the sun In weekends of whiskey sours Cause how many times can you wake up in this comic book and plant flowers? Notes: The fancy bit that's played over the A chord and sounds like it's played on another guitar is really easy to get; play the A chord, then take your 3rd finger off and back on, then play A again emphasizing the thin E string. Cool eh!
