It was just like a dream, yeah, a surreal scene, like a blue orange
I thought my senses had gone, like I was writing a song about a foot-long syringe
A G D
And she said, "Hello, dear, it's my party
"So I hope you'll be smart, hee hee And I
said,"I don't know, but I think I'll go fix me
A(Intro riff")
a stiff drink"
D G
Well, I sat there and stared, because at first I was scared of this female tarzan
And while she talked with the apes about champagne and grapes, I approached her garden
A G D
And she said,"Now, now, don't try to leave me,
"It's unfair to deceive me
"I could kill if you try to escape me,
A (intro riff)
come upstairs my friend"
Emin Bmin F A
Now I knew, I knew, I couldn't be that mean,
Emin Bmin F G A A sus
so I tried, yeah I really tried to leave her but she was a big, big, big girl, big girl

IT WASN'T ME

49TH PARALLEL
E
Think I'll have lines on my face
Fmin7
When I get out of this place
D B
So I guess I'll be ever so careful
E
It wouldn't help to deny
Fmin7 D
I'm well advised to comply
B
By the rules or be ever so tearful
B7
I caught a vulture, he came up behind me
I put a chain on his claws
I caught another, been trying to find me
I slit a vein in his jaws
A B
Tied the two of them up with guitar-strings (only fed them a bone)
A
Grinned and put my hands in my pockets
Amin E B
To drift away to a land of my own

THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES
C C/B Amin G F C
European Maids, hard to ignore
You, me and the boys, barred from the shore
F C
Fresh-faced imbeciles, laughing at me
I've been laughing myself, is that so hard to see?
Do I have to spell each letter out, honestly!
F C
If there's no room for laughter there's no room for me
Dmin G
For me....
F Emin Dmin C
You'll think it's tragic when that moment arrives
Ah, but it's magic, it's the best years of our lives
