Intro
[A]
Ah his f[A]ingernails,[E] I see they're br[A]oken[Asus4] [A]
[D]His ships, they're all on f[A]ire[Asus4] [A]
[Bm]The moneylender's lovely little daughter
Ah,[A] she's eaten, she's eaten with desire[Asus4] [A]
C#m F#m(iv)
She spies him through the glasses
From the p[C#m]awnshops [D]of her wicked f[A]ather[Asus4] [A]
C#m F#m(iv)
She hails him with a microphone
That some poor s[C#m]inger, just like [D]me, had to l[A]eave her[Asus4] [A]
[Bm]She tempts him with a cl[A]arinet[Asus4] [A]
[F#m]She waves a Nazi d[E]agger
[A]She finds him l[E]ying in a h[A]eap[Asus4] [A]
She wants to [E]be his w[A]oman[Asus4] [A]
[D]He says, "Yes, I just might go to sleep
But kindly l[A]eave, leave the future, leave it open [Asus4]"[A]
[Bm]He stands where it is steep
Oh I gu[A]ess he thinks that he's the very first one[Asus4] [A]
C#m F#m(iv)
His hand upon his leather belt now
Like it was the wh[C#m]eel of som[D]e big ocean l[A]iner[Asus4] [A]
C#m F#m(iv)
And she will learn to touch herself so well
As all the s[C#m]ails burn d[D]own like[A] pape[Asus4]r[A]
[Bm]And he has lit the ch[A]ain[Asus4] [A]
[F#m]Of his famous cigari[E]llo
[A]Ah, they'll never, they'll nev[E]er ever reach the m[A]oon[Asus4] [A]
At least not the o[E]ne that we're a[A]fter[Asus4] [A]
[Bm]It's floating broken on the open sea, look out there, my friends
And it ca[A]rries no survivors
C#m F#m(iv)
But let's leave these lovers wondering
Why th[C#m]ey cannot h[D]ave each[A] othe[Asus4]r[A]
C#m F#m(iv)
And let's sing another song, boys
This one has g[C#m]rown o[D]ld and b[A]itter[Asus4] [A]
La, la, l[Bm]a, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
[A]La, la, la, la, la, la,
[Bm]La, la, la
[A]La
[Bm]
