(Intro: G   *  F2   *  *  C  Cm  Dsus4  D ) 

G    Bm        Em    Em7/G 
How sweet to be an idiot 
C       Em/B  Eb?  
As harmless as a cloud 
Em                B 
Too small to hide the sun 
Am     Am7    Dsus4  D 
Almost poking fun  
G        Bm  Em 
At the warm but insecure  
Em7/G Am    Am7  Dsus4 D Asus4/D  D 
untidy  crowd  
 
 
G    Bm        Em   Em7/G 
How sweet to be an idiot 
C  Em/B         Eb? 
And dip my brain in joy  
Em             B 
Children laughing at my back  
Am  Am7   Dsus4  D 
With no fear of attack  
G      Bm  Em    Em7/G  Am    
As much retaliation as a   toy  
Am7 Dsus4 D 
 
G    Bm        Em    D 
How sweet to be an idiot  
G     (  *  F2  *  *  C  Cm Dsus4 D ) 
How sweet 
D 
I tiptoe down the street 
                 
Smile at everyone I meet

A  
But suddenly a scream  
B 
smashes through my dream  
E 
Fee fi fo fum ,  
 
I smell the blood of an asylum  
Am 
Blood of an asylum?  
Am/G 
But mother, I'm playing so 
Am/F# 
beautifully! 
                      F7M 
Ha ha! Listen! Ha ha! 
E 
Fee fi fo fum ,  
 
I smell the blood of an asylum 
    Am 
Hey you! 
Am/G 
You're such a pedant! 
    Am/F#  
You got as much brain as a  
F7M 
dead ant! 
E 
As much imagination as a  
 
caravan site! 
            D 
But I still love you,  
      D7 
still love you,
