As recorded by Deep Purple (From the 2024 Album =1) [Intro] F#m [Verse 1]
F#m
When it came to me one day in Jerksville

F#m
Man, I was right on the edge

F#m
That jacket’s too small for a man of your size

F#m
And those socks are too big for your head
[Chorus]
   D                 A        E
My eyes glaze at whatever you say

        D          A          E
But I’m listening, do tell me more

        D                       A       E
It goes under the bridge, right over my head

    D              A        E    C#m  F#m
And out through my portable door
[Verse 2]
F#m
I was trapped in a dire situation

F#m
Between reason and someone-in-law

F#m
The winner takes all and runs off with the ball

F#m
Nothing could pleasure me more
[Chorus]
D                    A         E
Times were, I’d have spoken my piece

      D         A            E
For a minute or two held the floor

      D                      A         E
But I can’t get a word in so here I am hurtling

      D              A        E     C#m
Right out through my portable door
[Interlude] F#5 E5 A5 B5 C5 D5 E5 F5 G5 G#5 A#5 C5 [Guitar Solo] Bm [Organ Solo] C#m E C#m E C#m E C#m E C#m E C#m E C#m [Chorus]
    D                      A             E
The jabbering’s hurting my brain cell so bad

    D          A         E
For once in my life I am bored

    D                       A          E
The public house beckons, I follow the call

         D             A        E     C#m
And slip in through my portable door
[Verse 3]
      F#m
The unlikely event came upon me

F#m
I wasn’t prepared for the shock

F#m
Once round my neck and twice round the deck

F#m
And the rest disappeared up the block
[Chorus]
   D               A            E
So here we are and everything’s changed

D           A      E
Faster than ever before

    D                    A               E
You gotta be jokin’, man what are you smoking

        D              A        E     C#m
Blow it out through my portable door
[Outro] F#m
