Chords

[Intro] C F [Verse]
C
Seymour was a work of art

F
Always getting into trouble

       D
Never met a lass he didn't love

       G
Never loved a lass that didn't have a hubba hubba hubba hubba

C
Seymour wasn't very smart

       F
So he soon got a reputation

           D
A list of suitors with reservations

            G
To send him on a permanent vacation
[Chorus]
         F                             C
He said, I will live to fight another day

      F                             C
I'll sing a song and soon be on my way

     F                             D7
My journey may be long before I'm done

                        G
So won't you play the drums

C   F
Doo Doo Doo
[Verse]
C
Seymour met a girl named Phil

F
Phil was sweet as honey

D
She liked fancy things

     G
But Seymour didn't have no money money money money

C
Soon she stole his heart

F
And acquired a knack for thieving

             D
So when the coppers broke down the front door

G
Seymour was outback leaving leavin' leavin' leavin'
[Chorus]
        F                           C
He said I will live to love another day

      F                             C
I'll sing a simple song to ease my pain

     F                              D7
My journey may be long to sweeter shores

              D         G
So won't you play the horns
C [Bridge]
D7                G
On the road to a better place

D             G
Bells ring, birds sing

D7                         G
Nightly dreaming of those pearly gates

D7                G
How long must we roam

               C
'Til I can go home

F  C  F
Doo doo doo
[Verse]
C
Seymour got it in his head

F
To change his sinful ways

D
Become a man of the cloth

     G
No longer would he stra-ay-ay-ay

    C
But on his way to church

F
Seymour received a sign

D
A messenger from the good Lord

    G
In red high heels with blue-oo eyes
[Chorus]
F                                          C
He said, I will praise the Lord in my own way

F                               C
And revel in his creation everyday

    F                           D
My journey may require me some grace

                   G
So let the choir sing
[Bridge]
D                 G
On the road to a better place

G            D
Bells ring, birds sing

D                          G
Nightly dreaming of those pearly gates

D7               G
How long must I roam

                C
'Til I can go home
[Outro]
F  C  F
Doo doo doo
