C#5           B#5       F#5           B#5       C#5 B#5
I was surprised, I was happy for a day in 1975
A#5              G#5       F#5                B#5       C#5 B#5
I was puzzled by a dream , stayed with me all day in 1995
A#5        G#5                F#5
My brother had confessed that he was gay
   B#5                C#5             B#5
It took the heat off me for a while
A#5        G#5
He stood up with a sailor friend
F#5                       B#5      C#5       B#5 A#5 G#5 C#5
Made it known upon my sisters wedding day

--------------------------------------------------------------------
C#5               B#5        F#5              B#5
I got married in a rush to save a kid from being deported
C#5                B#5
Now she's in love
    A#5        G#5           F#5               B#5
oh, I was so touched, I was moved to kick the crutches
        C#5                B#5
From my crippled friend
A#5           G#5             F#5               B#5
She was not impressed cause I cured her on the Sabbath
  C#5               B#5
I went to confess
F#5               G#5         A#5              B#5
When she saw the funny side, we introduced my child bride
   C#5             B#5
To whisky and gin
   A#5            G#5  C#5
To whisky and gin

--------------------------------------------------------------
C#5               B#5            F#5          B#5
The priest in the booth had a photographic memory
    C#5                B#5
For all he had heard
A#5                G#5         F#5            B#5
He took all of my sins and he wrote a pocket novel called
 C#5                      B#5
'The State That I Am In'
A#5           G#5
So I gave myself to God
      F#5              B#5             C#5       B#5
There was a pregnant pause before he said ok
F#5             G#5          A#5             B#5
Now I spend my days turning tables round In Marks & Spencer's
C#5                      B#5  A#5  G#5
They don't seem to mind

---------REFR?O-2x-----------------------------------------------
F#5
I gave myself to sin
  A#5
I gave myself to Providence
    E5
And I've been there and back again        (2x)
     G#5                 ( C#5 depois da 2?)
The state that I am in

------------------------------------------------------------------
C#5         B#5               F#5           B#5
Oh love of mine, would you condescend to help me
          C#5               B#5
Cause I?m stupid and blind
A#5          G#5           F#5              B#5         C#5              B#5
Desperation is the Devil's work, it is the folly of a boys empty mind
A#5             G#5         F#5            B#5          C#5           B#5
Now I'm feeling dangerous, riding on city buses for a hobby is sad
               F#5           G#5
Why don?t you? Lead me to a living end
     A#5            B#5           C#5              B#5
I promised that I'd entertain my crippled friend
   A#5             G#5
My crippled friend
