Ab5        Bb5 B5
Which he modi -fied
            B5 C#5 B5    Eb5
Fine tuned along dutch lines

C#5  B5          F#sus F#5
He's painting revenge
C#5  B5                  F#5
Embittered by lack of success

D#7sus Eb5

With signature techniques
             B5 C#5 B5 Eb5
Attention to details
Ab5           Ab5  Bb5  B5
And fine tell tale brushstrokes
              B5 C#5 B5 Eb5
Of badger and sable

C#5  B5        F#sus F#5
Expressing contempt
C#5        B5        
For greedy dealers
        F#sus
Getting rich
       Eb5 E5     D5 Eb5
At the artist's expense

Infamous forger and restorer
  B5       F#5       E5
Judas Unrepentant

Branded a charming old lovable rogue

Judas! 

(Riff 1)
Ab5            Ab5 Bb5 B5
His time bombs are in  place
           B5 C#5 B5 Eb5
And anachronisms
Ab5            Ab5 Bb5 B5
Clues pointing to  the truth
        B5 C#5    B5 Eb5
If ever they are X-rayed

C#5      B5               F#5
He wrote legends in lead white

C#5          B5        
To trick the experts
     F#5
And hoodwink
    Eb5   E5   D5       Eb5
Hoodwink the trained eye

E5        B5          F#5      E5
Infamous forger and restorer

  B5       F#5     E5
Judas Unrepentant      Hey
  B5      Eb5    E5
Judas Unrepentant 

E5
Establishing provenance
              B5                     F#5
Acquiring old frames with Christies numbers
E5                                 B5      F#5
Then paints a picture in the same style

Thirteen watercolours by Samuel Palmer
               A#5 Eb5  Ab5
Have proven to be his undoing
             Eb5             B5
And so he confesses then he is arrested
                 A#5 Eb5   E5
Charged him with conspiracy to defraud
                                        B5          F#5            E5
Years of chain smoking and breathing in fumes from restorations
                                            B5       F#5
The stress of the court case had taken it's toll
E5                                B5       F#5
His trial was halted due to I'll health
