Intro x 2


Verse 1:

C5                       F5
You can wear your new white shoes
                C5
In the muddy afternoon
                       F5
Walking past the stay-drunk stoop
                       A/2
They whistle with their hands
                       G/2
But I could be your catcall, too
                     F5
Anything you want to do
                   C5
Anything you want to do


Intro x 2


Verse 2:
You can take your slide trombone
Play it in your catacombs
Find a town that moves real slow
And turn it on its head
And I could be your pharaoh's tomb
Anything you want to do
Lover, anything you want to do


Intro


Chorus:

D5                   G5
And if you want to be common
      A5          F5
I can claim that I tamed you

e ---------!
B ---------!
G ---------!
D ---------!
A ---------!
E --3--1---!

D5               G5
A demigod in a bonnet
                F5
They're going to know it ain't true

e ------------------!
B ------------------!
G ------------------!
D ------------------!

Intro x 2


Verse 3:
You can paint your nails lime green
Rent yourself a limousine
Kidnap the professor's niece
Tell them that she's dead
We'll party in a hotel room
Anything you want to do
Sister, anything you want to do


Intro


Verse 4:
You can get your hair all wet
Sleeping on the riverbed
Kiss a frog and then dissect
You got to find out what's inside
And you can have my bad side, too
Anything you want to do
Sure, anything you want to do


Intro x 2


Chorus:
And if you want to be common
I will claim that I tamed you
A demigod in a bonnet
They're going to know it ain't true


    A/2     G/2      F5       E5
And yes, you are King David's star
              D5    C5           D5      G5
And the crescent moon, and the crescent moon
You must sweep the Bowdhi tree
I sit beneath, and I sit beneath


Intro x 2


Verse 5:
You can wear your new white shoes
In the dirty afternoon
Walking through the traffic fumes
A flower in your hair
And I will swing upon your moods
Anytime you want me to
Just tell me what you want to do

(play the intro riff through out till the end)
Anything you want to do
Anything you want to do

"I need a favor from the lighting person. I want you to make it real dark ... and I'll 
the favor." Said Conor.

And then the lights go red, he plays the intro, and everyone gets chills.
