Intro: A5

        A5          E5                A5    A5 A5
Ah his fingernails, I see they're broken
D5                          A5    A5 A5
His ships, they're all on fire
B5
The moneylender's lovely little daughter
   A5                                    A5 A5
Ah, she's eaten, she's eaten with desire
C#5                         F#5 (iv)
She spies him through the glasses
          C#5      D5              A5    A5 A5
From the pawnshops of her wicked father
C#5                   F#5 (iv)
She hails him with a microphone
                C#5              D5           A5       A5 A5
That some poor singer, just like me, had to leave her
B5                      A5     A5 A5
She tempts him with a clarinet
F#5               E5
She waves a Nazi dagger
A5              E5          A5    A5 A5
She finds him lying in a heap
             E5       A5    A5 A5
She wants to be his woman
D5
He says, "Yes, I just might go to sleep
            A5                                     A5 A5
But kindly leave, leave the future, leave it open."
B5
He stands where it is steep
       A5                                          A5 A5
Oh I guess he thinks that he's the very first one
C#5                        F#5 (iv)
His hand upon his leather belt now
                  C#5       D5            A5    A5 A5
Like it was the wheel of some big ocean liner
C#5                             F#5 (iv)
And she will learn to touch herself so well
            C#5        D5       A5    A5 A5
As all the sails burn down like paper
B5                   A5    A5 A5
And he has lit the chain
F#5                 E5
Of his famous cigarillo
A5                             E5                  A5    A5 A5
Ah, they'll never, they'll never ever reach the moon
                  E5              A5    A5 A5
At least not the one that we're after
B5
It's floating broken on the open sea, look out there, my friends
         A5
And it carries no survivors
C#5                           F#5 (iv)
But let's leave these lovers wondering
      C#5        D5       A5    A5 A5
Why they cannot have each other
C#5                     F#5 (iv)
And let's sing another song, boys
              C#5   D5       A5    A5 A5
This one has grown old and bitter
         B5
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
A5
La, la, la, la, la, la,...
B5
La, la, la...
A5
La...
