Verse 2:
SOLm SOL MIb SIb
My Amazon six-triggered bride
(Bb) DOm SOLm
Now searching for a place to hide
(Gm) SOL MIb SIb
Still sees truth quite easily
(Bb) DOm SOLm
Shrouds all else in mystery
DOm MIb7 SOLm
While madmen in top hats and tails
DOm MIb7 SOLm
Impale themselves on six inch nails
SIb SOLm DOm SOLm
And some Arabian also-ran
SIb SOLm DOm SOLm
Impersonates a watering can
[repeat intro w/full band after each verse]
Verse 2:
Some Santa Claus-like face of note
Entreats my ears to set afloat
My feeble, sick, and weary brain
And I am overcome with shame
And hide inside my overcoat
And hurriedly begin to quote
And some Arabian sheik most grand
Impersonates a hot dog stand
Instrumental break:
(guitar solo over verse chords)
Verse 3:
Red Cross ambulance outside
Could only mean that I must hide
'Til dusk and finally the night
When I will make a hasty flight
Across the sea and far away
To where the weary exiles stay
And some Arabian oil well
Impersonates a padded cell
Coda:
SIb SOLm DOm SOLm
And some Arabian oil well
SIb SOLm DOm SOLm
Impersonates a padded cell
[repeat intro; end cold on last Gm of 2nd repeat]
