Ran-Tan Waltz

(original title, The Ran Tan)
B-side of Babooshka single
Written by Kate Bush

Bm         Em
Where is she

               Am           
When the little thing cries?

       D          Bm
She lies in a bed

           Em                
With a friend of mine.

Bm          Em
But some nights

         Am                   
She'll run back in fright

          D             Bm
If she picks on a dick

                Em                
That's too big for her pride.


Am     Bm
Oh!     Oh!

C             Em        Am
Why did I ever go marry her?

Bm       Em
I was a child!

      G              Dm
I'm holding the baby,

         G               Dm
She's ran-tanning constantly.

C                 Bm            Em
She saw me coming for miles.

C     Bm       Em
She saw me open wide.

(Repeat verse)
Four o'clock
And the key's in the lock.
And she's been on the wink
And she's stinking of drink.
Wakes the kid,
So I put him to sleep,
And she's in there all night,
Doubled over the sink.

Oh! Oh!
Why did I ever go marry her?
I was a child!
I'm holding the baby,
She's ran-tanning constantly.

C                  Bm           Em
She saw me coming for miles.

C     Bm       Em
She saw me open wide.

C     Bm     Em
                Open wide.
